In the 20th century, research breakthroughs contributed to better public health. The question of which scientists make discoveries that develop society has interested people for many years. One of Sweden's greats is Nobel Prize winner and professor of medicine Sune Bergström (1916-2004). There is no biography of him, and this project aims to fill this gap. We will partly document Bergström's life, work, driving forces and significance and partly write a biography of him in Swedish and English based on interviews, archive research and literature studies. Part I of the biography describes the researcher and private person Sune Bergström from his school years in the USA during the burning world war, the groundbreaking discoveries about prostaglandins and the time as a professor at the age of 31 in Lund and in Stockholm from 1959. Part two highlights Bergström's commitment to global health in poor countries and his capacity for industrial collaboration. Part three describes Bergström, the communicator and mentor, and his leadership style with a brilliant ability to gain support for research and education initiatives. The biography is scheduled for completion in the first half of 2022. The visionary Sune Bergström, his achievements and driving forces can illustrate how research and international cooperation improve the health of millions of people.
