He does research with the aim to reduce mortality from eye tumours

Unlike most other types of cancer, the survival in ocular melanoma has not improved in several decades. This is something that eye specialist and researcher Gustav Stålhammar wants to change.
"It is time we give this disease a fight. We need to investigate if it’s better to prevent the development of metastases rather than treating them once they appear," he says.
