Dr. Stefan Rocco Hansson is a Professor at the Division of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Institute of Clinical Sciences Lund, Lund University, and the Head of Office at the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Division (Lund). He received his MD from the Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper, Lund University, Lund, Sweden. His research focus is on preeclampsia. Based on findings from protein- and gene-array studies, free fetal hemoglobin has been shown to be a potential new predictive and diagnostic marker for preeclampsia. Currently, he is focusing on a new potential treatment for preeclampsia based on a free hemoglobin scavenger: alpha-1-microglobulin (A1M).
