Researchers whose discoveries contribute to health attract interest. Nobel Prize winner Sune Bergström (1916-2004) was an influential Swedish medical researcher in the 20th century, but he has no biography. This project aims to fill this gap. We highlight how Bergström and his colleagues became successful and describe his life, work and importance based on interviews, archival research and literature. This is presented in a biography in Swedish and English. Part I describes the researcher and private person Sune Bergström from his school years in the USA during the burning world war, groundbreaking discoveries about prostaglandins and his time as a professor at the age of 31 in Lund and in Stockholm from 1959. Part two highlights his commitment to global health and his industrial collaborations. Part three is about the communicator, mentor and research leader and analyzes his leadership style and good contacts with national and global leaders and authorities, such as the WHO (World Health Organization) and the NIH (National Institutes of Health) in the US. Project leaders Gustafsson and Tjärnlund have extensive experience in research, archival studies and research communication. We are applying for funding to complete the project, which has so far conducted around 50 interviews with key individuals and collected material from 15 different archives. The biography is expected to be completed in 2024. The visionary Sune Bergström, his actions and driving forces can illustrate how research contributes to improved health for millions of people.
