About me
I am a chemist and researcher at the Department of Environmental Sciences at Stockholm University. My research focuses on links between agricultural production systems and human health, including pesticide effects and cadmium content in crops. In particular, I am interested in how risks for developing brains from pesticide exposure are assessed and managed through regulatory processes. I also have a research interest in risk and protective factors for the development of childhood allergy that I pursue at Karolinska Institutet.
We welcome motivated Master's and Bachelor's thesis students to join our research group! Potential topics include improving risk assessment and regulation of chemicals, understanding science-policy interactions in chemical management, or exploring the barriers and opportunities for a non-toxic circular economy. If you are interested in tackling these important challenges, feel free to contact me to discuss potential opportunities for collaboration.
Our research group consists of PhD students Alicia Arriaza, Elin Leander, Mathilda Andreassen and Persa Xyderou; postdoctoral researchers Linnea Cederholm, Natasja Börjeson and Romain Figuière; and researchers Marlene Ågerstrand, Christina Ruden and myself.
I am course coordinator for the course Environment and Health which is part of the Masters program Environmental and Health Protection and course package Environment and Health.
I also do some teaching on the course Risk Assessment and Regulation of Chemicals.
In ongoing research, me and colleagues investigate the effect of the agricultural production system on the cadmium content of wheat and potato crops, in samples from a long-term field trial, the DOK experiment in Switzerland.
In another project, funded by Formas and the PARC project (Partnership on the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals), we evaluate the reporting of data, results, and conclusions in in vivo Developmental Neurotoxicity (DNT) studies.
Also within PARC, we investigate the benefits and risks of a transition from in vivo to in vitro methods for the Assessment of DNT.
