Håkan Axelson

Håkan Axelson is a Professor at Lund University's Division of Translational Cancer Research and a Principal Investigator at the Lund University Cancer Centre (LUCC). His work focuses on kidney cancer, particularly clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), using hypoxia and VHL gene loss as model systems.

• Research areas: Tumor hypoxia, Notch signaling, SLC6A3 biomarker
• Key contributions: Characterization of ccRCC subtypes, novel model systems for kidney cancer

Research Trends: His recent articles emphasize hypoxia pathways, biomarker discovery, and signaling crosstalk in kidney and brain cancers.

Collaboration Network: Active in organizing uro-oncology conferences and leading interdisciplinary projects on cancer microenvironment and liquid biopsy development.
