Genetics and Toxicology in Cancer Chemotherapy and Forensic Sciences

My research is focused on finding predictive markers and understanding how pharmaceutiacls and drugs yield desired and undesired effects in humans.

Everyone is different and everyone reacts differently to drugs. Our research group studies how genetic variation affects the effect and risk of side effects in cancer treatment. We also work with new psychoactive drugs (internet drugs), their toxicology and pharmacology. Our third track is genetics in a forensic perspective.

Research to combat designer drugs

Researchers are involved in the campaign to make designer drugs illegal as quickly as possible. Henrik Gréen investigates how new psychoactive substances act, and why some designer drugs are more lethal than others.

Predicting the risk of severe side effects of cancer treatment

Some patients experience life-threatening side effects during cancer treatment. Researchers at LiU have developed a model that can predict which patients have a high probability of side effects.

As soon as a new online drug appears on the market, a race against the clock starts. Researchers collaborate to as soon as possible determine how the substance affects the body and how dangerous it is.
