معرفی
Åsa Ingvar is an Associate Professor and Senior Physician in Dermatovenereology at Lund University's Faculty of Medicine, Department of Dermatology and Venereology. She is affiliated with the Lund University Skin Cancer Research group (LUSCaR) and the Lund University Cancer Centre (LUCC), where she conducts cutting-edge research in skin cancer diagnostics and treatment. Her work significantly contributes to Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being.
Dr. Ingvar's research focuses on investigating risk factors, behaviors, diagnostics, prognosis, treatment, and genetics for skin cancer. She specializes in using image analysis powered by artificial intelligence to improve risk stratification, diagnostic accuracy, and treatment. Her work involves collecting optimally illuminated skin cancer images and confocal microscopic pictures to enhance diagnostic capabilities. She also conducts population-based studies using questionnaires and registry data to track skin cancer prevalence and incidence trends.
Her recent publications reveal a strong focus on teledermoscopy, AI-assisted diagnosis, and diagnostic accuracy in skin cancer detection. The research shows increasing integration of artificial intelligence with traditional dermatological methods, particularly in teledermoscopy applications and image quality assessment for diagnostic purposes. Her work bridges clinical practice with technological innovation in skin cancer management.
Dr. Ingvar actively supervises PhD students, including Carolina Nätterdahl, and serves as an assistant supervisor for multiple dissertation projects. She participates in significant research projects such as 'Teledermoscopy and artificial intelligence: implementation in clinical practice' and 'Ex-vivo confocal microscopy in clinical use for diagnostics and margin assessments of skin tumours.' Her collaborative work extends internationally, including engagement with Monash University.
She is an active participant in the Lund University Cancer Centre's research community, presenting at events like the LUCC Skin Retreat. Her clinical and research activities focus on improving skin cancer care pathways through better diagnostics, preoperative assessments, and prevention strategies.
