Lindkvist is heading a successful research group focusing on medical structural biology. Lindkvist was recruited to Lund in 2010. Since then, Lindkvist has built up an excellence-environment for structural biology including X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM at the faculty of medicine. Lindkvist research is currently focusing on structural biology and combining that with cell biology with the aim to unravel the molecular details of cancer and metabolic disease, and to develop therapeutics.
