    Research interests

    My research interest is mainly on etiological factors in female cancers. In the project "Women's Lifestyle and Health" we try to identify potentially modifiable risk factors for cancers of the breast, ovarian, endometrium, colorectum and skin, as well as for cardiovascular diseases (myocardial infarction, stroke) and overall mortality. I am also interested in factors affecting cancer survival. I coordinate the Ugandan collaboration on infections diseases and cancer, where we are studying the role of infectious agents such as HIV, human papilloma viruses (HPV), and EBV in the etiology of cancer of the cervix uteri, conjunctiva, and Burkitt’s Lymphoma, hormones and cancer, cancer research in developing countries.

    • Etiological and prognostic cancer research
    • Cancer in low-income countries
    • Infections and cancer
    • Lifestyle and cancer
    • Women and cancer
