معرفی
Anthony Wright is a Professor at the Department of Laboratory Medicine, Karolinska Institutet. He leads the Research group for Cancer evolution within the Division of Biomolecular and Cellular Medicine (BCM). His expertise spans cancer cell biology, molecular mechanisms of disease progression, and stromal-tumor interactions. Wright holds a PhD from the University of Sussex (1983) and was appointed Docent in Molecular Biology at Karolinska Institutet in 1992. He has extensive experience in academic leadership, including roles at Södertörn University (1998-2010) before returning to KI.
