معرفی
Stefan Ljunggren is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Linköping University's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, affiliated with the Department of Health, Medicine and Caring Sciences. His research focuses on exposure to occupational and environmental pollutants, their effects on human health, and biomarker analysis. He teaches at the Medical Programme and Environmental Sciences at the Philosophical Faculty. His work spans industries like metal manufacturing (e.g., welding, 3D printing) and environmental pollution (e.g., chromium, PFAS, air quality). Key projects include the SafeChrom initiative addressing hexavalent chromium exposure and the SCAPIS study on air pollution and cardiovascular health.
His research integrates epidemiology, toxicology, and proteomics to understand how pollutants influence cardiovascular, renal, and respiratory systems. Recent studies emphasize biomarkers for exposure assessment and long-term health impacts.
Publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches, including cross-sectional studies on metal exposure, air pollution effects on atherosclerosis, and nanoparticle toxicity. Collaborations involve environmental, medical, and engineering fields. No scientific awards are explicitly listed.
He advises no formal students listed here but collaborates on grants related to occupational safety and environmental health monitoring. His division, Prevention, Rehabilitation and Community Medicine, emphasizes translational research and public health interventions. He is part of the Employee Unit of Clinical Medicine (KLM), contributing to clinical and community medicine initiatives.
