At the #PopHealthLab, she will pursue her research with a focus on frailty and blood pressure, and she will aim at developing her expertise in handling administrative health data and learning to use machine-learning methods. Additionaly, she is supporting research activities related to the study Corona Immunitas (https://www.corona-immunitas.ch/en/), a Swiss-wide research project of seroepidemiological studies which aim at describing the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the impact of the pandemic in the country.
