This is what Stockholm University wrote last spring on the central website about Gita Mishra and the other five new honorary doctors:
Gita Mishra is professor at the University of Queensland, Australia, and a world-leading researcher in life-course epidemiology and women’s health. Life-course epidemiology studies, among other things, the long-term effects of various physical and social exposures during childhood, adolescence and adulthood and how this affects health later in life.
Mishra’s expert work for the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSWUN) has been very significant for the health and rights of women and girls around the world. She has previously worked at University College London, UK. Since 2012, she has led a large cohort study in Australia and the research network InterLACE, which combines data from more than 1.2 million women in 19 countries – a leading global resource for reproductive health.
“Gita Mishra has collaborated with Stockholm University since 2008 and has contributed greatly to creating and spreading interest in life-course epidemiology. She has also trained several of our master’s students, doctoral students and researchers in modern research methods”, says Ilona Grünberger, professor of Health Equity Studies/Public Health Medicine at the Department of Public Health Sciences.
