My research focuses mainly on skin cancer prevention, including sun habits, sun protection and risk communication. In my thesis”Towards a broader use of phototesting – in research, clinical practice and skin cancer prevention”, I studied how phototesting (measurement of ultraviolet sensitivity in the skin) can be further developed. I also looked at how to work preventively against skin cancer in primary care.

I am a general practitioner and associate professor in general medicine, having my clinical assignment at Kärna primary healthcare centre in Linköping, also working as a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Medical and Health Sciences, Linköping University.

Alongside my main field of research, I am also involved in several other projects with emphasis on primary care / family medicine, including research on elderly, global health, and gastrointestinal diseases, among others, and is the supervisor for several PhD students.
