Dr. Landgren received his M.D. in 1995 from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. Following clinical training as a hematology/internal medicine specialist physician, he earned a Ph.D. with a focus on diagnostics and prognostics in Hodgkin lymphoma in 2002 at Karolinska Institute. He then served as an attending physician at Karolinska and conducted clinical research on lymphoproliferative malignancies and related precursors. He came to the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) in 2004, where he served as an Investigator before he joined the Medical Oncology Branch.
Dr. Landgren's major research interests are in the treatment, causation, diagnostics and prognostics, and natural history of multiple myeloma and its precursor condition, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). He also studies related hematologic malignancies and their precursor states, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia and monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL); Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia, and IgM MGUS, as well as myeloproliferative neoplasms. His research focuses on treatment-, host-, disease-, and immune-related factors in the pathway from precursor to full-blown malignancy and their relation to outcome.
