Dr. Yvonne Ceder

Biography

Yvonne Ceder is an Associate Professor at Lund University, leading research in the field of Medical Molecular Biology, focusing primarily on prostate cancer. Her research addresses the complexities of cancer metastasis, particularly the processes involved in distant metastasis, which is a major cause of cancer-related deaths. Ceder's research emphasizes the role of microRNAs in cancer progression, exploring how these molecules regulate the balance between epithelial and mesenchymal states, which is crucial for understanding cancer stem cell regulation. She employs various molecular techniques to characterize tumor cells and analyze circulating tumor cell populations, validating her findings through clinical cohorts. Her commitment extends towards enhancing patient treatment strategies through her research, aiming to develop improved methods for monitoring disease progression and treatment responses. Furthermore, Ceder actively contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals by aligning her research objectives with global health initiatives. Through her expertise in basic cancer research and oncology, Yvonne has established herself as a pivotal figure in the exploration of metastatic dissemination and its implications for cancer therapies.
