Judit Svensson Arvelund

Assistant Professor

Our aim is to uncover the role of the immune system in the development of lymphomas and other cancers and use this knowledge to develop and improve cancer immunotherapies.

Research on Tumor Immunology and Immunotherapy

Our research aims to understand the crosstalk between cancer cells and the immune system and to use this knowledge to develop more effective immunotherapies against cancer. We are particularly interested in understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive the systemic and long-lasting effects of immune-based treatments, as well as the mechanisms behind the development of resistance to immunotherapy.

Research

Tumor Immunology and Immunotherapy

The aims of our research are to uncover the cellular and molecular mechanisms that predispose to systemic and long-term anti-tumor immunity and the mechanisms that drive resistance to immunotherapy.

Areas of strength

Medical Inflammation and Infection Center (MIIC)

Medical Inflammation and Infection Center (MIIC) research focus is on infections and inflammatory conditions, which are major concerns for human health.

Cancer

Cancer is a research network for scientists and health care professionals at Linköping University and at the County Council of Östergötland (Region Östergötland). The research is related to cancer diagnosis, pathogenesis and treatment.

Organisation

Division of Molecular Medicine and Virology (MMV)

At the division, the research involves studies on the molecular biology level as well as studies of biological effects on cells, on tissue, and organisms. We are also involved in medical and biomedical education programs.

Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences (BKV)

What characterizes the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences (BKV) is the wide breadth of research and education. BKV is one of the largest departments at LiU with affiliation mainly to the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.

Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (MEDFAK)

The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences conducts research and education within medicine, healthcare and public health.
