Short Bio:
Erik Trell was born in Trollhättan Sweden June 4, 1939. Married with Lena Margareta Alm. Children Karl Oskar born 1974 and Kristina Elisabet born 1975.
He started medical studies 1960, and after graduation first served as resident and then associate professor in Internal Medicine and Cardiology under professor Jan Waldenström, Malmö General Hospital, University of Lund 1968-73. In 1973, continuing as associate professor under professor Bertil Hood at the department of Internal Medicine he planned and designed the centre of Preventive Medicine, Malmö General Hospital, University of Lund, which he directed and ran 1973-1982. This brought him in closer contact with Primary Health Care, Community Medicine and Health Promotion, and 1982-1987 he served as associate professor in Family Medicine (Allmänmedicin/General Medicicine), Department of Community Medicine, Malmö General Hospital, University of Lund, obtaining there his specialist degree also in Family Medicine.
In 1987 he was appointed full professor and chief, Department of Family Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences (‘Health University’), University of Linköping, Sweden; retiring in 2006 but staying on as professor emeritus, and from 2006 and onwards he serves in General Practise as ‘district doctor’ in Karlstad.
This rich clinical spectrum opened a wide scientific/research and development (R&D) range, and also resulted in several advisory functions, e.g with International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon; on Health Policy, alcohol disorders and Preventive Medicine in WHO; development and implementation of PHC services and research on Crete; computerized Maternal and Child Health Care (MCHC) systems in India, PHC education and training programs in Albania, and others.
He has written some 450 medical papers, book chapters, lectures, articles; 156 of these searchable in PubMed: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=trell+e. Due to the forefront nature of his clinical and R&D engagements there are many first/early publications, especially in Preventive Medicine, where in the seventies he was the internationally most cited researcher with reports in leading journals like Alcohol, American Journal of Epidemiology (n=3), American Journal of Medicine (n=4), Angiology, Atherosclerosis, British Medical Journal (n=4), Cancer, Diabetologia, Hypertension, JAMA, Lancet (n=10), Postgraduate Medical Journal (n=3), Preventive Medicine (n=3), and Thorax. Among the ‘firsts’ articles can be quoted the whole Malmö Preventive Program (MPP) institution for multiphasic health screening and intervention in the population, including glucose tolerance test and mammographic units; the computer system for its online monitoring and interactive questionnaire, the inclusion in MPP of alcohol-related disabilities, smoking-related cancer, and prediabetes; the transferal of the preventive program from staffed testing to internet/mobile phone “HealthOmeter” self-distribution; local area dementia prevention; developing MCHC in India; implementing PHC care and education on Crete and in the Balkans, and others.
His mathematical/physical studies started in the 1970’s and are directed to an algebraic/structural derivation of the elementary particle and periodic table symmetries following the original works of Marius Sophus Lie and bringing him in wide collaborations i.a. in Norway, USA, England, Russia, Nigeria and India. He has written some 40 papers on the subject and is co-founder and Vice President of IMBIC, Kolkata 2006- , and served as Vice President of Calcutta Mathematical Society, 2007-2011.
