Almost 10 million people die from cancer annually, which has a profound effect on society as a whole. At RaySearch Laboratories we take great pride in the work that we do because it plays an integral role in the fight against the disease. We believe software holds the key to advancing and improving cancer treatment for patients worldwide.

My driving force
My story began in 1986 when I lost my mother to lung cancer. Fueled by the vision of a world where cancer is conquered, I made it my personal mission to do everything within my power and ability to see this vision become a reality.
The RaySearch story began in 2000 when I launched the company based on the scientific knowledge I acquired during my PhD years at the Karolinska Institute. During that time, I developed mathematical models and software for optimizing radiation therapy, thus improving the treatment plan and delivery for the individual cancer patient.
My driving force is to improve the quality of treatment for those affected by cancer. RaySearch’s innovative software solutions enable clinics to provide superior treatment options to more patients - in less time.
For me, it’s personal.
