Eric Pederson serves as a Research Fellow at Uppsala University's Department of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology, actively contributing to the Genetics and Genomics research group led by Kerstin Lindblad-Toh. His work bridges veterinary medicine and human biomedical research through advanced genomic methodologies.
His research program focuses on canine genetic disorders, particularly atopic dermatitis, utilizing Bayesian modeling and selection signature analysis to identify breed-specific risk factors. This interdisciplinary approach integrates genomics, biochemistry, and veterinary dermatology to uncover molecular mechanisms underlying inflammatory skin conditions in dogs.
Recent publications demonstrate a consistent trend in applying statistical genomics to veterinary clinical problems, with emphasis on translational potential for human dermatological conditions. His 2022 Communications Biology paper established significant genetic correlations for canine atopic dermatitis that attracted substantial scientific attention across news outlets and academic platforms.
Dr. Pederson operates within Kerstin Lindblad-Toh's research ecosystem at Uppsala Biomedical Centre (BMC), collaborating on projects that leverage comparative genomics to address complex disease mechanisms across species boundaries.
