My main research interest is the epidemiology and pathogenesis of venous thromboembolism (VTE). In order to optimize prevention and treatment of the disease, it is crucial to better understand the mechanisms of venous thrombus formation and how risk factors contribute to or interplay in this process. I have trained as an epidemiologist within the field of thrombosis and hemostasis, and worked with studies on the relationship between arterial and venous thrombosis, life-style factors and VTE, cancer-related VTE, as well as complications after VTE.
