My name is Rikard Fristedt and I work as a researcher at RISE in Borås, at the Department of Chemistry and Applied Mechanics in the Chemical Problem Solving unit.
I have a PhD in cell biology from Linköping University in Sweden and postdoctoral training from UCLA in Los Angeles, USA, and VU University in Amsterdam, Netherlands. For the past seven years, I have worked as a senior laboratory manager at Chalmers University of Technology, Department of LIFE, in the Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences. At Chalmers, I was responsible for several laboratories in analytical chemistry as well as for analytical instrumentation. In May 2025, I started at RISE.
My area of expertise is biochemistry and the use of separation methods (chromatography) and various analytical detection methods, especially mass spectrometry (LC-MS and GC-MS), to study biomolecules. At RISE, my work primarily focuses on using these analytical methods to answer complex chemical and biological questions.
