The project is coordinated by Malin Inghammar, associate professor (docent), Department of Clinical Sciences Lund, in close collaboration with the research group EPI@LUND, led by Professor Jonas Björk. Within EPI@LUND, PhD students and senior researchers address different research questions associated with major societal issues by combining modern epidemiological methodology with detailed population data at the individual level. Research on applied causal inference is also a theme. The research is conducted in collaboration with other departments and faculties, and together with several universities, regions, and municipalities, a new Research Collaboration Initiative on Covid-19 vaccine uptake, effect and safety and improvement of pandemic preparedness has recently been established with substantial external funding from the Swedish Research Council (VR) and Sweden’s Innovation Agency (Vinnova), among others.
