Jonas Bergquist, MD, PhD, is a Full Chair Professor in Analytical Chemistry and Neurochemistry at the Department of Chemistry at Uppsala University.[1] He also has served as an Associate Professor of Clinical Neuroscience at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital and Gothenburg University, Gothenburg, Sweden. In 1999, he became a Researcher in Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden. In 2005, he was appointed the Chaired Professor of Analytical Chemistry and Neurochemistry, heading the Bergquist group at the Department of Chemistry, Biomedical Centre, Uppsala University. Since 2011, he is an Adjunct Professor of Pathology at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, US, and since 2015, a Professor of Precision Medicine, Binzhou Medical University, Yantai, China.[2]

Research interests: various neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS); his research "involves methods to measure substances that can act as biomarkers for early diagnosis and contribute to the understanding of what initiates the disease process... [and] measure not only the individual substances but also seek patterns and monitor how they change during illness,... [the Bergquist group's] specialty is the analysis of cerebrospinal fluid and its chemical composition."[2]

Working groups and committees[edit | edit source]

Member of the Biomarkers Working Group and Neurologic/Cognitive/CNS Imaging Working Group of the Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Common Data Element (CDE) Project sponsored by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.[5]

2017 Ramsay Award[edit | edit source]

A team comprised of Dr. Bergquist and Dr. Jonas Blomberg of Uppsala University and Dr. Carl-Gerhard Gottfries and Dr. Olof Zachrisson of the Gottfries Clinic were awarded a 2017 Ramsay Award grant from the Solve ME/CFS Initiative for research into biomarkers for initiation (infection) and metabolic derangement in ME/CFS.[6]
