Lectures and seminars Faculty event: Jonas Ludvigsson

Title

ERC Advanced Grant presentation on IBD and cardiovascular disease

Abstract

Jonas F. Ludvigsson has been selected for the final stage of an ERC Advanced Grant. At the Faculty event, he will rehearse his ERC presentation.

His project concerns IBD and cardiovascular disease and has four components:

a) A register-based study examining histological inflammation and the risk of CVD

b) A sub-project on AI-enabled histopathology

c) A Mendelian randomization study on inflammatory proteins in patients with IBD and CVD risk

d) An emulated trial on medications in IBD and the risk of CVD

 The ERC interview is 25 minutes long. Jonas has been asked to give a presentation of less than eight minutes. According to the Grants Office, this presentation should focus less on the project details and more on the importance of the topic and why Jonas is the right person to carry out the project. He will deliver his eight-minute presentation and then take questions about his project (in fact, he encourages questions to prepare for his interview).
