Biography

Per Malmberg is an Associate Professor at Chalmers University of Technology, specializing in analytical chemistry with a focus on mass spectrometry. His research involves the development of secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) techniques, including ToF-SIMS and NanoSIMS, as well as MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) to create chemical maps by acquiring mass spectra from individual points on a sample. His work explores the interaction of nanometals with biological systems, aimed at understanding the effects of trace zinc in the brain and nervous system, which has led to several publications and the graduation of PhD students. Malmberg's research also includes early cancer detection methods in collaboration with Lund University, investigating the impact of isotope balance changes in tumor environments. Furthermore, he is involved in a European project on nano-drugs safety, studying the interaction of nano-metal-tagged antibodies in breast cancer treatment. His interest extends to the interactions between cells and materials at the nanoscale, including studies on nano-graphene, titanium, and magnesium biomaterials. Through his research, Malmberg aims to enhance the understanding of drug localization at the sub-cellular level and the implications for cancer treatments.
