My research during the recent decade has focused on epidemiological projects related to skin cancer. In addition I am currently involved in a number of Covid-19 related epidemiological projects.
Research projects
Systematic review and meta-analysis on prediction models for melanoma
Epidemiological field studies in different regions addressing sun protection during childhood
Epidemiological cohort study of a random sample of >4200 inhabitants of the county
