Invited speakers

Dr. Lindskog is a research group leader and associate professor at the Department of Immunology, Genetics and Pathology, Cancer Precision Medicine unit, Uppsala University, Sweden. Her research group uses a multi-dimensional approach and combination of various qualitative and quantitative methods to generate high-resolution spatial maps of the human body at the single-cell type level. By combining scRNA-seq, spatial technologies for mRNA and protein detection and machine learning, she aims to link single cell type-specific expression profiles with molecular function and mechanisms of disease, a first step towards precision medicine. Since 2006, Dr. Lindskog is also affiliated with the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project, the largest biological database for spatial proteomics, publicly available at www.proteinatlas.org. She received her PhD in Pathology at Uppsala University in 2013, and since 2014 she has been director of the tissue-based efforts of the HPA project, leading the team that generates the mRNA and protein expression data on human tissues.
