Dan Hultmark is a Swedish biologist currently Professor Emeritus, whose research focused on the mechanisms of innate immunity, using Drosophila as a model system, at Umeå University and an Elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.^{[1] [2] [3]} Hultmark is also a member of the Drosophila 12 Genomes Consortium,^[4] Tribolium Genome Sequencing Consortium.^[5]

Awards and honors

Hultmark received the Flormanska belöningen of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (1994) and the Göran Gustafsson Prize in Molecular Biology (1996).^[6] He is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Association for The Advancement of Science section of biological sciences since 2007.^[7] Between 2009 and 2013 Hultmark was invited by the Academy of Finland to the Institute of Medical Technology, University of Tampere as a Finland Distinguished Professor.^[8]
