Researcher
School of Public Health and CommunityAbout Florencia Harari
Associate professor and resident physician in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Deputy research group leader for the research group Environmental Medicine and Toxicology (MTox).
The purpose of our research is to increase the knowledge about the occupational and environmental exposure to metals and how they can affect human health, with special focus on vulnerable populations. For this, we use different methods and study populations both in and outside Sweden.
