About the faculty

Therese Andersson, PhD
Therese is an associate professor in biostatistics at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (MEB) at Karolinska Institutet. Her primary research interests are in survival analysis and cancer epidemiology, and has developed methods for estimating cancer patient survival. Therese has great experience in teaching and has taught survival analysis to a range of audiences.
Anna Johansson, PhD
Anna is senior biostatistician and docent in Epidemiology at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Karolinska Institutet, and guest researcher at the Cancer Registry of Norway. Anna's research interests are survival analysis, epidemiological study designs and breast cancer epidemiology. Anna has long experience in teaching survival analysis, and has been part of the faculty of the Biostat III course for many years.
Elisavet (Betty) Syriopoulou, PhD
Betty is an Assistant Professor of Biostatistics at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Karolinska Institutet. Betty works on survival analysis and in particular on the development and application of statistical methods for cancer registry data. Her research consists of two broad areas: understanding the determinants that drive inequalities in cancer survival and improving the reporting and communication of complex cancer statistics. This involves extensions of causal mediation analysis and developments in life expectancy measures for summarising the cancer prognosis.
Frida Lundberg, PhD
Frida is a research specialist in epidemiology at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Karolinska Institutet. Her research is focused on cancer survival and fertility in cancer survivors. Frida is well versed in survival analysis using STATA, including flexible parametric models and Cox models using multiple time-scales and time-varying covariates. She also has an interest in automating output to generate formatted tables and figures in STATA.
