Biography

Tommy Lidström works as a postdoctoral researcher in Jonas Nilsson's group, focusing on the development of precision medicine and individualized cancer vaccines using lipid nanoparticles. His research specializes in understanding how cancer evades detection by the immune system, particularly in the context of pancreatic cancer. Lidström has investigated overexpressed proteins that inhibit the immune response in cancer patients. His primary focus is on conducting experimental research using ex vivo systems with immune and cancer cells to evaluate ways to mobilize the immune system to attack cancer. The group aims to develop and test lipid nanoparticle vaccines using white blood cells isolated from donated blood.
