Baggrund i sygepleje. Metodiske kompetencer inden for kvantitativ og kvalitativ forskning samt kvalitative reviews. Fokusområder er kræftbehandling og pleje, højintensiv træning under kemoterapi, fysisk aktivitet, symptom- og bivirkningshåndtering samt fysisk-, social- og mental sundhed.  Derudover er jeg daglig leder af det specialiserede træningstilbud til kræftpatienter i kemoterapi, Krop & Kræft, som jeg var med til at starte i 2001, og hvor vi i dag har en ”Krop & Kræft” kohorte på flere tusinde deltagere. Samarbejdspartnere inkluderer primært nationale forskere, der arbejder med klinisk interventionsforskning, den landsdækkende netværksgruppe for Krop & Kræft, kræftafdelinger i Region Hovedstaden og patientforeninger.​
