About me

  • Mikael Eriksson, PhD is an epidemiologist at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden. Driven by improving mammography screening to reduce breast cancer mortality, Eriksson specializes in developing individualized risk assessment techniques for identifying women that have suboptimal benefit from screening. He studies women in need of additional screening resources and women that may not benefit at all from mammography screening. In addition, he is working with novel projects on developing long-term risk models for use in reducing risk of breast cancer, on prophylactic therapies to assess therapy response, on reducing side-effects from risk reducing treatments, and on decreasing masking in mammography screening by dense tissue.

    Dr. Eriksson is recipient of the European Commission Marie Curie 4-year grant (https://ecas.ec.europa.eu) for establishing a European doctoral network together with Cambridge University, Oxford University, NKI netherlands, Utrecht netherlands, Gustave Roussy france, Wienna university, Syddanmark university, and Cyprus university. The total grant is 4.7 million Euro and Karolinska is awarded 350K Euro.

    Dr Eriksson is recipient of the Swedish Research Council starting grant of 6 MSEK for a project in sk assessment, prognosis, and intervention in breast cancer.


    Dr. Eriksson is a research group leader at Karolinska Institutet and a work group leader in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC).


    Dr. Eriksson is a representant for Karolinska in the Cancer Prevention Europe (CPE) Early Career Network (https://cancerpreventioneurope.iarc.fr/).
