Björkström has authored >140 articles within the fields of immunology, cancer, and infection. He is an ERC Starting Grant recipient, WAF fellow, SSF Future Research Leader and has received numerous awards for his work including the Anders Jahre Award for Young Researchers, IPSCSG Investigator Award, and the UEG Rising Star Award.
The main focus of his research is to understand the biology of human innate and unconventional lymphocytes in health and disease with a focus on the human liver and biliary tract system as well as the uterus. His research group is specialized in advanced immunological methods for analysis of rare populations of human immune cells in tissues.

Take the chance to meet him for personal discussion (please contact the host).
