Biography

Helen Lindqvist is an Associate Professor at the University of Gothenburg with a research focus on biomarkers related to food and dietary influences on disease activity and inflammation in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. She defended her dissertation in 2008 at Chalmers University of Technology, which investigated high-quality dietary interventions and risk factors for cardiovascular disease, reflecting her interest in the use of biomarkers as indicators of dietary compliance. Lindqvist started working in metabolomics in collaboration with Anna Winkvist and colleagues at the Swedish NMR Center in 2011. Her research includes dietary metabolite patterns, covering post-prandial studies, dietary crossover intervention studies, and cohort studies aimed at identifying patterns of metabolites in serum and urine samples from different diet regimens. Over the years, she has targeted diet influences on individuals with Rheumatoid Arthritis and has been principal investigator in multiple clinical intervention studies that look at dietary impacts on inflammation in arthritis conditions. Her work aims to utilize metabolomics to find metabolites that reflect dietary compliance and help differentiate between responders and non-responders in clinical dietary interventions.
