Meet the IFBLS Board of Directors 2024-2026

President Gabriella Lillsunde Larsson

What attracted you to work within IFBLS?

I have been passionate about working in and for the profession for a long time. I enjoy organizational tasks and have a curious nature.

IFBLS is an association of national societies, what is your national association and what is your role in the association?

The Swedish national association is the Swedish Institute of Biomedical Laboratory Science (IBL). I am the vice president, and I chair the international work that we do together with Vårdförbundet (the Swedish Health Professionals). We have ongoing work also on a Nordic and European level. 

In your opinion, why is international work important?

I think it is important because we get to meet professionals from different settings and areas. I believe that by learning from one another, we can collectively advance the field. 

Outside of work, what are your favourite activities? I am very fond of winter swimming, hiking and doing yoga.
