Mohamed Elhusseiny

Mohamed Elhusseiny is a researcher at Linköping University, affiliated with the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences (BKV) and the Department of Surgery, Orthopaedics and Oncology (KOO) within the Faculty of Medicine. His work focuses on cancer metabolism and metabolic reprogramming, with particular emphasis on developing ex vivo and computational models to study tumor–host interactions to improve translational relevance while reducing animal use.

His research interests include:

• Cancer metabolism and metabolic reprogramming
• Tumor–host interactions in systemic cancer development
• Gastrointestinal cancers and liver metastases
• Stable isotope tracing and mass spectrometry applications
• Systems biology approaches to cancer research

Dr. Elhusseiny's publication record demonstrates a consistent focus on molecular mechanisms underlying cancer progression, particularly in tuberous sclerosis complex mutations, lung cancer, and gastrointestinal cancers. His work integrates experimental and computational approaches across multiple disciplines including cancer biology, molecular oncology, and systems biology. He recently received research support from Dr. Per Håkansson's Foundation to advance his work on cancer metabolism and tumor–host interactions.

His scientific recognition includes:

• Research support from Dr. Per Håkansson's Foundation

As part of Bojmar's research group, Dr. Elhusseiny contributes to understanding how cancer functions as a systemic disease through organ crosstalk, with primary focus on gastrointestinal cancers and their common liver metastases. His laboratory work integrates stable isotope tracing, mass spectrometry, and systems biology approaches to develop more relevant ex vivo models for cancer research while minimizing animal use.
