• Institution: University of Southern Denmark
• Role: Assistant Professor in Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Biodemography

Her research explores:

• Environmental vs genetic contributions to tattooing behavior
• Association between tattoo ink exposure and lymphoma/skin cancers
• Epigenetic biomarkers for hematopoietic cancers
• Familial risk patterns in hematologic malignancies

Recent publications reveal trends in cancer epidemiology (particularly hematologic malignancies), epigenetic modifications, and twin-based exposure analysis. Key methodologies include time-to-event modeling and methylation profiling.

She actively teaches biostatistical methods in courses like Biostatistics II and Survival Analysis, and has presented at major conferences including the SDU-OUH Cancer Symposium. Her work has been cited in 42 media contributions and reached global audiences through social media platforms.
