معرفی
Karin Broberg is a Professor at the Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Lund University, and serves as Research Team Manager for Genetic Occupational and Environmental Medicine. She is Director of the Metalund research group, Principal Investigator at the LUCC: Lund University Cancer Centre, and a member of the EpiHealth and LTH Profile Area: Aerosols. Her work bridges environmental health, genetic susceptibility, and biomarker development.
Her research focuses on how genetic backgrounds influence individual susceptibility to environmental metals (arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury) and genome-damaging workplace exposures. Current studies examine welders and chimney sweeps, linking occupational hazards to lung cancer and myocardial infarction biomarkers. She leads global collaborations like the SafeChrom and Inflamm@work projects, emphasizing public health interventions.
Recent publications highlight hexavalent chromium toxicity, night shift epigenetics, and synchrotron-based metal analysis. Collaborations span environmental genomics and SDG-aligned initiatives (LTH Profile Area: Aerosols), though no awards are explicitly listed.
