  • About me

    PhD student in epidemiology with a strong interest in improving female health. Working mainly with Swedish registry data and producing real-world evidence to support the optimization of cervical screening strategy for older women. With a background in clinical medicine and experience in laboratory, I bring an integrated understanding of life science spanning from lab to application.

    PhD Candidate (epidemiology), Karolinska Institutet, 2023-present

    Master of Sciences (Gynecology and Obstetrics), Huazhong University of Science and Technology, 2022

Research

  • My focus: My focus is to provide real-world evidence to optimise the cervical cancer screening and the exiting strategy for women over 50 years old using HPV-based screening, self-sampling, and DNA methylation. My research involves both observational studies and intervention studies.

    Major ongoing projects:

    •Invasive cervical cancer risk following a negative HPV screening test.
    •Attendance following self-sampling invitation.
    •DNA methylation as triage for HPV postive women in older women.
