Main content

Research
My research  branches from the initial PhD-project Virtual darkness as additive treattment of mania which was a multi-center randomized controlled intervention study. My current research focus is effects of light on sleep and circadian rhythm disturbance in bipolar disorders.  This includes  clinical chronotherapy and underpinning of theories of basic mechanisms with a multidiciplany approach including translational research.
