Arne Holmgren was internationally known as the foremost authority in the scientific fields of thioredoxin and glutaredoxin studies. His science had effects on both cancer research and antimicrobial treatments. Arne Holmgren was a member of the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institutet and the RoyalSwedish Academy of Sciences.
Professor Holmgren has received several scientific awards, including The Svedberg Award (1979), Erik K Fernström Prize for Young Scientists at KI (1980), Erik K Fernström Nordic Prize for Medical Science from Lund University (1997), Abraham Spector prize from Columbia University (2006), The Science and Humanity Prize from The Oxygen Club of California (2006).
