Karin Wåhlén

Assistant Professor

I’m a medical biologist and PhD at PAINOMICS® laboratory. My research focus on finding biomarkers for generalized pain (fibromyalgia) and other chronic pain conditions by studying proteins in blood using different omic techniques and bioinformatics.

Research Group

PAINOMICS Research Group

PAINOMICS® Research Group

The aim of the research at Painomics laboratory is to investigate mechanistic markers of nociception and severity of pain, in peripheral and central level in subjects with chronic pain conditions, using omics.

Organisation

Two people are hiking along a trail on a mountain. Both have large backpacks on and they are walking away from the camera.

Unit of Public Health

The Unit of Public Health conducts research and teaching in social medicine, public health science, medical education, nutrition and dietetics, implementation sciences, eHealth and sports medicine.
