Afrouz Behboudi

Afrouz Behboudi is a Professor of Biomedicine and Head of School at the University of Skövde's School of Health Sciences. With over two decades of research in biomedical genetics, she focuses on tumor suppressor genes, genomic instability, and sleep apnea-cardiovascular interactions.

Her work spans:

• Molecular Oncology: Chromosome 10 aberrations, MYO1C tumor suppression, and comparative cancer genomics
• Translational Sleep Medicine: TNF-α polymorphisms in CPAP treatment response
• Genomic Mapping: Radiation hybrid mapping and evolutionary genomics

Recent publications examine CPAP-induced endothelial inflammation (EBioMedicine 2024) and TNF-α gene dynamics in sleep apnea (JCM 2023). She leads AI-driven precision medicine initiatives and conducts systems biology research on alcohol-related biomarkers.
