\u2013 We get so much from our animals. Quite simply, they make us better humans. Therefore, they deserve that we do all in our power to ease their complaints and make them feel well. This insight is my driving force as a veterinarian as well as a researcher.<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Henrik R\u00f6nnberg is a professor at the University Animal Hospital in Uppsala, Sweden, and an important member of the team of researchers behind Predipet.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

He grew up surrounded by animals, and early decided to become a veterinarian.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u2013 I have always considered it a very interesting profession. Not the least because I\u2019m genuinely interested in animals. Animals contribute to increased quality of life. They communicate with us and I believe that the presence of animals brings a better atmosphere and more harmonious pace to an environment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u2013 He took his exam in 1994 and has since then been performing clinical work, above all with pets. At an early stage he became interested in oncology, and in 2002 he defended his thesis within this specialty. He initiated the European group of veterinary oncology and is one of the co-founders of the oncology group within ECVIM-CA (European College of Veterinary Internal Medicine). Through this specialist college he now tutors a three-year residency at the University Animal Hospital of SLU.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Already 1999 Henrik was contacted by Staffan Eriksson, Predipet\u2019s Head of Research. Since then Henrik has participated in the research.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u2013 I was very pleased to be asked. As a veterinarian, I consider it a task of great importance. Obviously, it\u2019s quite urgent when it comes to human medicine, but somehow it feels even more important in a veterinary context. Our patients can\u2019t speak for themselves. We can never ask a dog or a cat how it feels, or where it hurts. Therefore, the symptoms often get severe before they are discovered. By then it\u2019s too late to take actions in most cases.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Henrik tells that it is quite a long scientific journey that has resulted in that the assay by now is ready to be used on a larger scale.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u2013 Above all, it has been important to verify that our results hold in a long series of tests. We\u2019ve been quite tough on the marker in order to assure that it doesn\u2019t only react in cases when animals show symptoms, but also when animals have tumors but don\u2019t, yet, display clear symptoms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u2013 All along the research project we\u2019ve had a forward-looking process. We\u2019ve also been contacted by several international groups of scientists, who have expressed wishes to collaborate. That feels like an acknowledgment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Henrik\u2019s role in the project is, primarily, to put the results into a veterinary context.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u2013 The result of an analysis doesn\u2019t say everything. The trick is to be able to combine it with the full picture of the patient in order to make a correct interpretation. This is an important part of the commercialization process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u2013 With four children and two step children my family is my other interest. I like to join my children in their activities, whether it is horse riding, dancing or gymnastics. I appreciate to come home to my family, cook a nice meal, lower the pace and recharge my batteries.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u2013 I guess I also have to admit that I have a weakness for heavy metal from the 1980\u2019s. Once I played in a heavy metal band, but now, unfortunately, I haven\u2019t got time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Does that mean that you are a frequent visitor to Sweden Rock Festival?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u2013 Unfortunately, I\u2019ve never had the chance to attend as it coincides with the examination period of the veterinary education, so I haven\u2019t been able to get time off. But Sweden Rock is definitely on my bucket list.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
