معرفی
Bo Melin is a Professor at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet since 2007. He holds a Docent title from Stockholms universitet (1997). His research focuses on cognitive epidemiology, investigating causal links between cognitive/emotional abilities and health/social outcomes. Key areas include cognitive ability as a predictor of mortality, social mobility, and the biopsychosocial framework linking stress, work, and health. He leads the Cognitive Epidemiology research group, which explores topics like IQ gradients in mortality, emotional regulation, and workplace health.

- Grants: Swedish Research Council grants (e.g., DIRECT-study on cancer risk communication, social inequalities in health)
- Key Projects: Longitudinal studies on IQ and mortality, emotion-cognition interactions, and work environment impacts.
Research interests emphasize understanding how cognitive and emotional traits influence health trajectories, with recent work challenging spurious causal claims in longitudinal studies. His group collaborates on studies like internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy for adolescents and mental health in cystic fibrosis patients.
Publications span cognitive epidemiology, methodology critiques, and mental health interventions. Labs/groups include the Cognitive Epidemiology research group, affiliated with Karolinska Institutet’s Department of Clinical Neuroscience.
