Susanna Larsson

Susanna Larsson is an Associate Professor at Uppsala University's Faculty of Medicine within the Department of Surgical Sciences, specializing in Medical Epidemiology. She maintains dual appointments across university units, with primary research operations at Epihubben (Dag Hammarskjölds väg 14 B) and administrative ties to Akademiska sjukhuset.

Her research spans cancer epidemiology, lifestyle factors, and Mendelian randomization methodologies, with particular focus on dietary impacts on chronic diseases. Recent work examines sleep patterns, meat consumption, and water contaminants through population-based cohorts and genetic analyses. Her publications consistently integrate Swedish cohort data with multinational collaborations to investigate cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory bowel conditions, and cancer etiology.

Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals dominant trends in nutritional epidemiology (47% of articles), genetic risk assessment (33%), and environmental exposures (20%). Key methodological approaches include Mendelian randomization (60%), cohort studies (27%), and proteomic analyses (13%). Thematic clusters center on diet-disease relationships, cardiovascular-metabolic pathways, and gastrointestinal disorder mechanisms.

Laboratory operations are centered at Epihubben, Uppsala's epidemiology hub, where she leads analyses of population-level Swedish health data. Her work frequently utilizes nationwide registries and biobanks, including collaborations with Akademiska sjukhuset for clinical data integration.
