Personal profile

Profile

Jeg har ansvaret for den del af Afdeling for Ernæring, der arbejder med de nationale undersøgelser af kostvaner og fysisk aktivitet.

Min forskning er fokuseret på kosten blandt børn, især spæd- og småbørn, og kostundersøgelsesmetoder. Jeg er projektleder for den nationale kostundersøgelse blandt spædbørn og småbørn, og deltager som leder af en del af et EU-støttet forskningsprojekt, Efcoval (www.efcoval.eu), der undersøger en fælles kostundersøgelsesmetode for de europæiske lande. Jeg har desuden beskæftiget mig med den faglige dokumentation for de danske kostråd, generelt og især vedr. frugt og grønt. Jeg har i mange år rådgivet Fødevarestyrelsen og Sundhedsstyrelsen vedr. kost og ernæring, med fokus på spæd- og småbørn, og vedrørende næringsdeklarationer ernæringsmæssige anprisninger og sundhedsanprisninger på fødevarer.

Jeg har således flere års erfaring inden for ledelse: forskningsprojektledelse og arbejdsgruppeledelse og som souschef og konstitueret forskningschef også personaleledelse.
