Joakim Lundeberg

Joakim Lundeberg is a Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, leading a research group within the Department of Gene Technology at the School of Chemistry, Biotechnology and Health. He is also the departing director of the National Genomics Infrastructure at SciLifeLab, a leading European sequencing center. His research focuses on developing cutting-edge technologies for nucleic acid analysis, spatial genomics, and molecular biotechnology, with applications in health and disease studies. Lundeberg's group pioneered methods in spatial transcriptomics and has contributed significantly to understanding gene expression in tissues.

Education: PhD in Biotechnology from KTH (1993), followed by postdoctoral research at Radiumhospital in Oslo. He returned to KTH in 2000 as a Professor.

Research interests include method development for DNA/RNA analysis, spatially resolved omics, and interdisciplinary applications in molecular atlasing of tissues. His work bridges technology innovation and translational research, addressing challenges in genomics and biomedical studies.

Publications span spatial transcriptomics, single-cell analysis, and genomic infrastructure. Notable contributions include the development of spatial transcriptomics techniques and tools like Semla for data analysis.

Lundeberg teaches advanced seminars in spatial genomics (courses FCB3091–FCB3094) and collaborates on initiatives like the Human Lung Cell Atlas. His lab is based at SciLifeLab in Stockholm.
