Presentation
I am trained as a clinical nutritionist and have additional qualifications in natural sciences and epidemiology. I have been employed at The Faculty of Medicine for almost 25years.
My career began with teaching and laboratory work at the Department of nutrition (IMB), followed by a PhD in epidemiology at HELSAM. I have later led a large department at HELSAM and gained extensive experience in coordinating and uniting a wide range of research groups and professions.
I am running for the board because I am committed to the university’s continued development, and I believe I can bring valuable expertise to the board's work.
