Job description

Dolley Charles is employed as researcher (100%) at the Department of Community Medicine (ISM), UiT. Dolley belongs to the Systems Epidemiology research group working in the REMEDIA project where the main focus is to investigate how and to what extent the exposome affects the severity and morbidity of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Cystic Fibrosis (CF) throughout the disease using data from the Tromsø study, the NOWAC study and the HUNT study. Her background is in medicine and public health. In her PhD project, she has investigated the role of environmental contaminants in the development of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. She is also involved with other projects looking at environmental contaminants and lipids. She also has experience with teaching epidemiology and statistics students in the UiT medical programme, Master of Public Health, and nutrition programmes.
