Lars Palmqvist is a new professor of clinical chemistry

Akademiliv congratulates Lars Palmqvist on his professorship! His research team is investigating genetic changes and the mechanisms that lead to the development of blood cancer, especially acute myeloid leukemia, which is the most common acute leukemia in adults but which can also affect children. The research is very much about identifying the cellular mechanisms that are affected by the genetic changes seen in blood cancer. The goal of the research is to eventually identify new and more goal-oriented ways of treating these diseases, what is often now called precision medicine. Lars Palmqvist has been teaching clinical chemistry but also pathology in the medical program for many years.
