Organiser: Department of Medicinal Chemistry
Contact person: Mikael Hedeland
Research topic: Drug development

Jenny Nilsson, PhD Student at Uppsala University’s Department of Medicinal Chemistry presents her ongoing research project Development of Novel Analytical Methods in Lipidomics using LC-MS with a focus on developing and improving chromatographic methods for simultaneous analysis of lipids in biological samples.

Jenny Nilsson’s research is aimed at comparing lipid patterns in tumors and healthy tissue and how they appear after chemotherapy treatment. With this, Nilsson will contribute to the search for biochemical reasons for the disease, drug effect and side effects to, in the long term, identify biomarkers for disease and therapeutical effects.

The research progress will be assessed by an expert panel including:

Susanna Lundström, Karolinska Institutet
Daniel Globisch, Uppsala University
Theodosia Vallianatou, Uppsala University.
