Juan Pablo is a PhD candidate at the Center for International Health within the Department for Global Health and Primary Care. He is affiliated to the research group behind the Respiratory Health in Northern Europe, Spain and Australia study (RHINESSA study). He is a Medical doctor with specialization in Pediatrics and holds a Masters degree in Global Health from the University of Bergen.
His PhD project aims to find the possible associations of the early use of snus with respiratory health in Northern European cohorts in one and two generations. This project seeks to inform researchers, medical community and policy makers about the potential effects of the use oral moist tobacco in the health of its users and future offspring, and most importantly, its prevention.
In addition, he is task leader in a research project funded by the NRC that is being developed in rural areas in Guatemala, which will study pesticides and exposures from traditional textile industry and its relation to health among indigenous Guatemalans.
