Ronald van Vollenhoven
Professor van Vollenhoven currently holds the position of Senior Physician and Chief of the Clinical Research Unit in the Department of Rheumatology at the Karolinska University Hospital and Associate Professor of Rheumatology at the Karolinska Institute. Professor van Vollenhoven’s research interests focus around the development and systematic evaluation of biological and immunomodulatory treatments for rheumatic diseases. With his co-workers, he has established the Stockholm registry for biological therapies (the STURE database) for this purpose, which has supported research projects relating to clinical efficacy, pharmacology, outcomes and pharmacoeconomics.
Professor van Vollenhoven received his MD and PhD degrees from the University of Leiden in The Netherlands. After graduating in 1984 he pursued immunology research at Cornell Medical College in New York, followed by residency (specialty training) in internal medicine at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and a fellowship in rheumatology at Stanford University in Palo Alto following which he received American Board of Internal Medicine certification in both internal medicine and rheumatology.
He has been principal investigator in many clinical trials of novel therapies in rheumatic diseases and has published over 120 original papers, book chapters and reviews. In 2004, Professor van Vollenhoven was awarded the Scandinavian Research Foundation Prize for excellence in clinical research in rheumatology. He is a member of several editorial boards, chair of the Swedish health economics working group HeraS and member-elect of the EULAR scientific programme committee.
