The Svedberg Prize 2025 to KI researcher Michael Landreh
The 2025 Svedberg Prize is awarded to Michael Landreh, Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology at Karolinska Institutet, "for the development and innovative use of mass spectrometric tools that reveal hidden protein interactions."
Michael Landreh's research primarily focuses on interactions between molecules that play a significant role in human diseases and are difficult to study using various structural biological methods. One example is membrane proteins and amyloid fibrils associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
"It feels great to be part of a long line of amazing researchers whom I admire. At the same time, it's exciting to know that others find what we do important and fascinating. I look forward to Sweprot where I can share more!", says Michael Lendreh, principal researcher at the Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology, Karolinska Institutet.
As the recipient of the Svedberg Prize, Michael Landreh will give a presentation at the Sweprot conference in Tällberg from June 13-16.
