Background
Cecilie Dahl is a postdoctoral researcher in epidemiology. She is currently engaged in the project «Norwegian Capture the Fracture – NoFRACT», where epidemiologists use register data to measure the effect of an intervention to prevent recurrent fractures in hospitalized patients.
Previous experience:
- Research on gut microbiota at the Department of Environmental Exposure and Epidemiology, Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH).
- In 2014, successfully defended her thesis, with the topic “Drinking water quality and fractures in the Norwegian population” at the NIPH, using data from the Norwegian Epidemiologic Osteoporosis Studies (NOREPOS).
- In 2007, earned a dual master’s degree in epidemiology and global health from Columbia University, and has worked as an epidemiologist in a low-income country (Rwanda), through the Millennium Village/ Access Project.
- Bachelor of Science in Microbiology (summa cum laude) from San Diego State University, has worked as a microbiologist in the pharmaceutical industry, and in research
Awards
- Tore Midtvedt Award for best abstract at the Norwegian Microbiota Conference (2016)
- Honor Society Membership in Phi Beta Kappa, San Diego State University, United States (2004)
- Vola Mitchell International Scholar in Voluntary Service award from Phi Beta Delta, United States (2004
