IUCC

Documenting Sweden’s Cancer Research for UICC and Cancerfonden I had the great privilege of being commissioned by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) in collaboration with the Swedish Cancer Society (Cancerfonden) to capture Sweden’s groundbreaking work in cancer research, early detection, and patient support. This photo assignment took me behind the scenes at Uppsala University’s Department of Immunology, Genetics, and Pathology, where cutting-edge research in precision medicine and targeted therapies is shaping the future of cancer treatment. I also visited primary healthcare centres, where I witnessed how early detection and attentive care are saving lives. Through Cancerlinjen, Cancerfonden’s national support line, I documented the compassionate voices offering guidance and support to individuals and families affected by cancer. This project reminded me of the power of visual storytelling — to inform, connect, and honor the work of those driving change. I'm proud to share this as part of my ongoing journey to document purposeful, human-centered projects.
