As a demographer and former manager of the Austrian National Cancer Register she has a vast experience in epidemiological research and analysis (on cancer incidence, mortality, prevalence and survival). EU-TOPIA offers her the scope for her PhD research on the evaluation and optimization of breast cancer screening in Europe. Therefore she will develop and validate microsimulation models for each country to determine the long-term health outcomes, benefits, harms and costs of breast cancer screening.


The project was launched in September 2015 and will continue to August 2020.

This project has received funding from the European Unionʼs Horizon2020 Programme under grant agreement no 634753
