As a senior researcher, I primarily work with register-based epidemiology and pharmacoepidemiology, with a special focus on expectant and new parents. My research examines the impact of preexisting mental disorders and psychotropic medication use during preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum on parental and offspring health outcomes. I have a background in epidemiology and biostatistics and serve as a board member of the Danish Society for Pharmacoepidemiology.

I am an epidemiologist specializing in register-based research, dedicated to improving psychotropic medication treatment for individuals with mental disorders. My research intersects pharmacoepidemiology and psychiatry, focusing on the safety, effectiveness, and long-term effects of psychotropic use before, during, and after pregnancy. And I aim to generate evidence on its impact on both parental well-being and child health to support clinical and public health decisions.

I teach and supervise in the fields of pharmacoepidemiology and psychiatric epidemiology at Aarhus University. My teaching primarily focuses on epidemiological study design and methods. I teach in two PhD courses: Introduction to Register-Based Research and Psychiatric Epidemiology. Additionally, I lecture two junior seminars at our center on directed acyclic graphs and confounding.

I am a statistical reviewer for JAMA Network Open and Academic editor for PLOS One.

Furthermore, I am a scientific Advisory Panel member of European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP).

I am also a board member of Danish Society for Pharmacoepidemiology.

Working as a senior researcher includes a variety of tasks, among other things:

· Register-based research in pharmacoepidemiology and psychiatric epidemiology, with a focus on expectant parents and their children. 

· Supervision of PhD students, postdocs, research assistants, statisticians, and visiting researchers.

· Teaching in register-based research and psychiatric epidemiology.

· Maintenance of data sources for research.

· Project management

· Dissemination of research findings.
