Research

Annie's Ph.D. project investigates early-life environmental factors and the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Environmental factors include diet, hygiene factors as well as exposure to infections and antibiotics. Large-scale data from the Swedish ABIS and Norwegian MoBa cohorts are used and the project includes over 100,000 children followed from birth to later adolescence/early adulthood. Annie's doctoral project is part of an ongoing collaboration between the University of Gothenburg, the University of Linköping, and the University of Oslo.

Ongoing projects

During 2023, Annie will be a visiting researcher at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health to study prenatal diet and risk of IBD.

Annie is collaborating with professors Magnus Hakeberg and Ulla Wide where she analyzes data from the Diet and Oral Health Study.

Except for research within IBD, Annie is taking part in studies investigating the association between diet and development of psoriasis, Type 1 Diabetes, and celiac disease.
