Marie Bengtsson

Marie Bengtsson is a Researcher at the Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Lund University. Her work focuses on mass spectrometry applications in environmental medicine, particularly biomonitoring chemical exposures during pregnancy and their health impacts. She has collaborated internationally, including projects in Sweden and Costa Rica.

Her research spans molecular biology, epidemiology, and agricultural sciences. Key projects include analyzing DNA/RNA extraction methods, studying antioxidant enzyme expression in retinal models, and investigating environmental risk factors for germ cell cancer in offspring.

Recent publications highlight her expertise in environmental toxicology, including the detection of fungicide metabolites in maternal serum (2024) and cotinine exposure linked to pediatric cancer risks (2024). Her methodological contributions improve sensitivity in low-abundance molecular analyses.
