Gladstone-UCSF Institute of Genomic Immunology Seminar
Emma Lundberg, PhD
Emma Lundberg is an associate professor of Bioengineering and Pathology at Stanford University and serves as the director of the Cell Atlas of the Human Protein Atlas initiative in Sweden, where she is also professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. At the intersection of bioimaging, proteomics, and artificial intelligence, her research aims to define the spatiotemporal organization of the human proteome at both the cellular and subcellular levels. Lundberg aims to develop integrated models of human cells to elucidate how variations in protein localization patterns influence cellular function, ultimately enabling the simulation of cell behavior and a systems-level understanding of how biological information is spatially encoded. The Lundberg Lab is responsible for creating the Subcellular Atlas of the Human Protein Atlas database. Lundberg is dedicated to building virtual cell models to simulate cell behavior and is passionate about engaging the public in her work through citizen science games and computational challenges.
Lundberg holds a master’s degree in bioengineering and a PhD in biotechnology from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. She has served as secretary general of the Human Proteome Organization and is actively involved in advisory roles for numerous open-access databases and cell mapping efforts such as the CZI AI Virtual Cell, Human Cell Atlas consortium, UniProt db, Reactome db, Human Proteome Project, and various pharma and biotech companies. As a token of her leadership skills and as an advocate for open science, she was twice recognized as a top 10 under 40 for future leaders in biopharma and omics.
