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.
Henrik Green
Deputy Head of Department, Professor
My research aims to better understand the mechanism of action and toxicity of new psychoactive substances, drugs of abuse and cancer chemotherapy including prediction models. I also work on how to solve murders using post-mortem metabolomics and AI.

The hunt for the new drug - Sverige forskar
The drug trade is usually one step ahead of the legislators because each preparation must be classified as a drug separately before they are banned. But now the researchers at Linköping University can make the hunt for the drugs go much faster.
Internet drugs – occurrence, pharmacology and classification as narcotic drugs
How dangerous are internet drugs really and how do they spread in society? Henrik Gréen, professor of forensic sciences, talks about the never-ending influx of new drugs, and about how his and others‘ research makes a difference in getting drugs classed as narcotic drugs and protecting lives.
