Hi there! For the coming weeks, our blog will be dedicated to our Young SIOP Award winners!
Please meet Christina-Evmorfia Kampitsi, YI from Sweden, in her own words.
My name is Eva and I am a doctoral student at the Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet. I received my BSc in Nutrition and Dietetics and my MSc in Clinical Nutrition from Harokopio University of Athens; I also hold a MMedSc with a Major in Public Health Sciences from Karolinska Institutet.
My research focuses on childhood cancer epidemiology. By utilizing the long-standing Swedish health data registers, I strive to elucidate which birth defects could be predisposing towards childhood cancer—and whether they might also affect survival after the cancer diagnosis. Other work focuses on how parental environmental exposures relate to childhood cancer and birth defects. The overall aim—and connecting thread between my projects—is to increase the understanding of childhood cancer etiology and survival. I am deeply honored to have received recognition for this work with the 2021 and 2022 SIOP Young Investigator Award and I am looking forward to the 2022 conference!
