My research focuses on microhistorical approaches to ancient Mesopotamian medicine in order to gain a deeper understanding of ancient medical practices. I am also interested in ancient conceptions of illness, the reality behind medical ingredients, contagion and epidemics, as well as the iconography of demons and animals. I am currently preparing an edition of a number of mainly unpublished cuneiform manuscripts with magical and medical content excavated in Hama (Syria) by a Danish expedition from 1931-1938.
