Sofia Lundqvist

At Swedish Hospital Seattle, I improve lab management and efficiency through innovation. I support clinical research, aid doctors with data-driven decisions, and help ensure better patient care. I also train and mentor young clinical chemistry professionals

As lab supervisor, I manage operations and staff, support career growth, and promote training. I ensure quality control, monitor costs, and apply new technologies to improve efficiency and earn management recognition

As a senior clinical chemistry technician, I pursue continuous learning to stay current with new technology. I joined AACC and IFCC to connect with professionals, follow the latest research, and gain valuable experience, training, and certifications.

As a clinical chemist, I gained skills in chemical testing, instrument use, sample processing, and data analysis. I learned disease impacts on biomarkers, proper testing methods, teamwork, and reporting, building a strong foundation for my career.

During my Master's in Chemical Testing at Karolinska Institute (2010–2012), I studied clinical chemistry, biochemical analysis, instrument use, and data interpretation, gained hands-on lab experience with sample processing and quality control, and developed research, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

During my Bachelor's in Biochemistry at Karolinska Institute (2006–2010), I studied molecular biology, protein chemistry, and metabolism, gained hands-on lab experience in protein analysis, enzymology, and data interpretation, and developed research, teamwork, and problem-solving skills
