Anders Lindvall – Advisor

Anders Lindvall was born in the city of Sundsvall, Sweden, in 1942. After graduation from high school in 1960 he served in the Swedish Air Force for 1½ years. In 1962 – 1967 he completed his Master of Science in Engineering at the Lund Institute of Technology, Sweden. During this time he also ran a project at the Dept. of Neurophysiology at Lund University Hospital, Sweden. In 1967 he entered a medical education program at the University of Lund. A two years stay at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) was incorporated in the program. At UCLA he studied biomathematics (Prof. Carol Newton) and telemetry transmission, recording and analyses techniques of EEG.s at the Space Biology Laboratory (Prof. John Hanley, Brain Research Institute). After his MD-degree in 1976 he served his internship followed by a staff position at the Dept. of Infectious Diseases, University Hospital in Uppsala, Sweden. He then investigated the role of a Herpes virus (Epstein-Barr) in the chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS/ME). He was head of the Dept. of Clinical Metal Biology at the University Hospital 1989-2000. He then, in cooperation with prof. Ulf Lindh, investigated the cellular uptake and distribution of metals in chronic diseases, especially in CFS/ME. During 1992-2005 he was part of a research team at the Center for Metal Biology (Prof. Ulf Lindh) in Uppsala to evaluate selected methods of detoxification from heavy metal overload. Since 1994 he has been part owner and CEO of MediMetal AB (MM). The company has been active in international projects in the field of Ship Recycling, under the leadership of Dr George Kinigalakis (part owner of MM, as are Ulf Lindh and Olle Selinus). From 2005 Dr Lindvall has been engaged as medical consultant on a continuous basis to providers of medical care in Stockholm County and, from 2017, also in Uppsala. He resides in Uppsala, has a wife and two grown-up children.
