About Carl Eriksson

I am an Associate Professor (Docent) in Medical Science, Adjunct Senior Lecturer at Örebro University, and Senior Consultant in Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Örebro University Hospital. My clinical work and research primarily focus on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

I received my PhD from Örebro University in 2018 and subsequently completed a postdoctoral fellowship in clinical epidemiology at Karolinska Institutet.

 

Research
My research focuses on inflammatory bowel disease, with a particular emphasis on clinical epidemiology. I use Swedish national health registers and quality registers to study why IBD develops, how the disease progresses over time, and how different treatments affect disease course and complications.

One current area of research is the role of early-life environmental factors in the risk of developing IBD. Using Swedish twin, birth, and adoption registers, we investigate the relative contributions of genetic and environmental factors. The aim is to better understand the causes of IBD and to identify factors that can predict disease course and complications.

 

Teaching
I teach at the medical programme at Örebro University and am responsible for the subject area of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. I also supervise students and PhD students in clinical gastroenterology and epidemiological research.
