SPEAKER’S SHORT BIO
Ulf Landegren received his MD and PhD in Uppsala, Sweden, before spending five years at California Institute of Technology. As professor of molecular medicine in Uppsala his research focuses on developing molecular tools to meet medical needs, from analyses of genetic variation with techniques such as padlock probes and superRCA, to protein assays using oligonucleotide-conjugated antibodies in proximity assays for measuring expression levels of large sets of protein in liquid samples or imaging their distribution and activity states in situ.
Professor Landegren is a member of EMBO, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Royal Society of Sciences at Uppsala. He is a member of several academic and industrial boards and advisory boards. He has authored 230 peer-reviewed publications, and around 50 patents or applications. Work in his lab has given rise to 10 spin-out companies, and a similar number founded by former students on the same technology base. The companies have a combined staff of more than 1000 individuals, and include Olink, Navinci, Rarity, Readily and SampleFacts. Technologies from his lab have also been licensed to many leading international biotech and diagnostic companies.
