When Dr. Klein retired in 1993, Dr. Ernberg became chair of the newly established combined Microbiology and Tumor Biology Department at the Karolinska Institute. <\/p>\n<p>His present laboratory (with 10 researchers) focuses on experimental systems and clinical collaborations to better understand the connection between viruses and cancer.  Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the most common virus infection in man, is the &#8220;model&#8221; that he has used to elucidate the complex sequence of events leading to tumor development, particularly related to Epstein-Barr virus tumor virology and latency in at risk patients.  <\/p>\n<p>He recently has proposed a theory of complex gene regulation networks leading to a new model of carcinogenesis. His cancer cell attractor theory may be generalized to all cancer cell populations, offering a previously unidentified characteristic for studying cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Ernberg was awarded the Karolinska Institute Grand Silver Medal in 2016 for special recognition of his outstanding contributions to medical research and the Karolinska Institute.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karolinska Institute-trained Ingemar Ernberg, M.D., Ph.D., is considered one of the foremost cancer researchers in the
