I am interested in the impact on Health of Biodiversity and climate change, and how to mitigate and heal changes. In other words, I see HEALTH as a wide concept that involves all our entire environment going from the organic to inorganic and how they interact.
The translation of scientific findings to animal and human health as well as the ecosystem homeostasis. How to conserve and to restore adequately our forests. How to decipher the play of actors in biological systems and the dynamics of these systems. Equally, it is of my interest how to generate large and small sustainable production systems, how to create adequate reforestation systems, and how to make live side-by-side small producers and large industries.

Erik Ruuth, M.D., PH.D., Ass. Prof. is a medical doctor with a Ph.D. in immunology and an adjunct professor in cell and molecular biology at Umeå University. After completing a postdoc at Hôpital Necker Enfants Malades in Paris, France, Erik made a career within the pharmaceutical industry covering areas ranging from basic industrial research to the molecular activities of new active principles, discoveries of mechanisms of action, preclinical development phases, pharmacokinetic toxicology, clinical registry studies, for authorities such as the FDA and EMA, ranging from PhI to III and post-marketing studies (PhIV). He assumed a number of responsibilities, as head of global research projects, head of EU therapeutic areas for anti-infectives, respiratory system and central nervous system products, head of development programs, expert in global products, project leader global research leader and leader of different types from PhI to PhIII clinical trials.
