معرفی
Niki Marjerrison is a Researcher at the Oslo Centre for Biostatistics and Epidemiology within the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Oslo. Her work focuses on the intersection of occupational and environmental exposures with chronic disease outcomes, particularly cancer and cardiovascular diseases. She is actively involved in multiple cohort studies including the Norwegian Fire Departments Cohort and the Norwegian offshore petroleum workers cohort.
Her educational background includes a PhD in Epidemiology and an MPhil in International Community Health, both from the University of Oslo, and a BSc in Kinesiology from the University of Western Ontario and Victoria University, Melbourne.
Dr. Marjerrison's research interests center on occupational and environmental epidemiology, with a strong emphasis on cancer etiology and cardiovascular disease risk factors. Her work investigates how workplace exposures, such as firefighting and petroleum industry hazards, contribute to long-term health outcomes. She employs large-scale cohort studies and international collaborations to identify modifiable risk factors and inform public health interventions.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a consistent focus on occupational cancer risks, particularly in firefighting and offshore petroleum industries. Her research spans multiple cancer sites including prostate, urinary tract, and colorectal cancers, and also extends to cardiovascular disease risk factors in immigrant populations. This body of work demonstrates a commitment to understanding environmental and occupational determinants of major chronic diseases.
She is affiliated with the EpiStat research group and contributes to projects such as "Cancer risk among firefighters" and "Exposure-related risks of cancer in petroleum workers", which are collaborations between the Cancer Registry of Norway and the University of Oslo. Her research environment includes the Oslo Centre for Biostatistics and Epidemiology, a hub for advanced epidemiological methods and large cohort analyses.
