Martin Ivar Högbom (born 29 May 1974) is a Swedish biochemist and structural biologist. He was appointed professor of structural biochemistry at Stockholm University in 2013 and worked as visiting professor at Stanford University during 2016 and 2018.[1] [2]

Högbom's research regards bio-inorganic chemistry, mainly how enzymes employ metal ions and radical species to perform particularly challenging chemical reactions. The research concerns biological energy conversion,[3] [4] deoxyribonucleotide synthesis,[5] and biochemical oxidation of hydrocarbons.[6]

Högbom was awarded The European Medal for Bio-Inorganic Chemistry in 2010[7] and the Svedberg prize in 2012.[8]

He was a member of the Young Academy of Sweden (2011–2016) and served as its president from 2014 to 2015.[9] He was elected as a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 2020.[10]
