Speaker Biography
Ulf Gyllensten, PhD. is Professor of Medical Molecular Genetics at the Department of Immunology, Genetics and Pathology, Uppsala University. He has over 250 peer-reviewed publications and has held a large number of prestigious academic positions, including the editorial boards of several international journals, the priority committees of the Swedish Medical Research Council and Swedish Cancer Society, Director of the world renowned Rudbeck Laboratory and currently, Scientific Director of the Science for Life Laboratory in Uppsala. Professor Gyllensten also holds multiple biotechnology patents, is co-founder of the Swedish biotech companies Dechipher Genetics AB and Quantovir AB and has acted as consultant for both Perkin-Elmer and Roche Molecular Systems. His presentation will describe a project with the ultimate aim of developing a simple biomarker test to identify and distinguish between gynecological cancers, as well as providing discrimination among different stages of cancer. The talk will cover both a broad screening approach using over 400 protein markers, and subsequent verification studies using a smaller panel of just over 40 markers.
