معرفی
Maria Pernemalm is an Associate Professor affiliated with the Department of Oncology-Pathology at Karolinska Institutet (KI) and a member of Janne Lehtiö's research group at SciLifeLab. Her work focuses on plasma proteomics and proteogenomics, particularly for biomarker discovery in lung cancer and malignant melanoma. She combines mass spectrometry-based methods with multi-omics data integration to study systemic signaling events in diseases.
- Education:
- PhD in Oncology-Pathology, Karolinska Institutet (2009)
- Master of Medical Science, Karolinska Institutet (2005)
- Docent (Swedish postdoctoral qualification) in Medical Proteomics (2022)
Her research explores how tissue-level events are reflected in plasma proteomes, with applications in precision medicine, viral interactions, and nanoparticle proteomics. Recent publications highlight her expertise in plasma protein analysis, extracellular vesicle characterization, and immune-modulating biomarkers.
Key scientific contributions include method development for plasma depletion and EV isolation, alongside translational studies in cancer and infectious diseases. She received funding from the Strategic Research Area Health Care Science (SFO-V).
Maria's team collaborates on projects spanning proteogenomics, tumor heterogeneity, and amyloid aggregation in viral infections, aiming to improve diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic strategies.
