In their joint thesis, Bodil and Karen analyzed data from more than 1 million Danish children to investigate the association between maternal infections during pregnancy and the offspring’s risk of IBD. 

Rami’s thesis focused on iron deficiency anemia and iron deficiency in children with IBD. 

The theses provide important parts of the puzzle of early life risk factors in IBD and of the clinical consequences for children living with IBD. 

Congratulations to all the three of you - thank you for working with us across scientific disciplines at PREDICT.
