Björn Dahlbäck
Björn Dahlbäck (born 1949) is a Swedish physician, medical researcher, and professor of clinical chemistry, specializing in hematology and the molecular mechanisms of blood coagulation.[1] He determined that activated protein C (APC) resistance is the most common inherited risk factor of venous thrombosis.
Education and career[edit]
Dahlbäck graduated with an M.D. from Lund University and then completed his medical internship and residency at Malmö's University Hospital,[2] which is now merged into Skåne University Hospital. In 1981 he received from Lund University his doctorate with dissertation The activation of prothrombin on the platelet surface[3] under the supervision of Johan Stenflo. Dahlbäck was a postdoc at La Jolla's Scripps Research, where his supervisor was Hans J. Müller-Eberhard, and later was a visiting scholar at Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF). In 1989 at Lund University, Dahlbäck was appointed a full professor of clinical chemistry, specializing in hematology and cardiac and cardiovascular systems.[2][1] He is also the director of the blood coagulation unit at Malmö General Hospital.[4]
His research was important in showing that APC resistance is caused by a harmful mutation in the F5 gene corresponding to the protein Factor V; the specific mutation was subsequently identified by several groups of researchers and is now called Factor V Leiden.[2] In 2013, Dahlbäck and colleagues identified the F5 gene mutation that causes the phenotype called "east Texas bleeding disorder".[5][2]
He has received several honors and awards,[2] including in 1996 the Louis-Jeantet Prize for Medicine[4] and in 2019 H. M. The King's Medal (H.M. Konungens Medalj) of the 12th size from the Royal Court of Sweden.[6] He is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.[7]
In 2000, Academic Press published Hematology: Landmark Papers of the Twentieth Century , which included the 1994 paper Resistance to activated protein C as a basis for venous thrombosis by Peter J. Svensson and Björn Dahlbäck.[8][9]
