Professor, specialistutbildad tandläkare vid Institutionen för odontologi Enhet: Tandläkarutbildningen, Oral diagnostisk radiologi Roll: Ställföreträdande prefekt

1A, våning 7, Norrlands universitetssjukhus Umeå universitet, 901 85 Umeå

Som professor i odontologisk radiologi arbetar jag med forskning och undervisning samt olika uppdrag vid Umeå universitet. Jag är ställföreträdande prefekt vid institutionen för odontologi. Min tjänst är förenad med anställning som övertandläkare i odontologisk radiologi vid avdelningen för oral diagnostisk radiologi, specialisttandvården i Region Västerbotten.

Min forskning genomförs i multidisciplinära forskargrupper inom bl.a. populationsstudierna SCAPIS, VIPVIZA, PAROKRANK och MODS. Ett forskningsområde berör bifynd i panoramaröntgenbilder tagna hos tandläkare, där förkalkningar i halspulsådern ibland upptäcks med tecken på risk för framtida hjärtkärlhändelser som stroke och hjärtinfarkt.

Ett annat forskningsområde rör svalgets funktion, där sväljningsdysfunktion hos olika patientergrupper; snarkare, äldre, efter stroke (DESIRE) och efter behandling mot huvud-halscancer studeras liksom talfunktion hos barn med läpp-, käk- och gomspalt.

Jag undervisar i odontologisk radiologi, på tandläkar-, tandhygienist- och tandsköterskeprogrammet samt ger vidareutbildningskurser i odontologisk radiologi och klinisk handledning (pedagogik) för handledare inom odontologi. Jag handleder examensarbeten (masternivå) inom grundutbildning och doktorander i forskarutbildning inom mina forskningsområden.
