With his co-workers, he has established the Stockholmregistry for biological therapies (the STURE database) for this purpose, whichhas supported research projects relating to clinical efficacy, pharmacology,outcomes, and pharmacoeconomics. He has been principal investigator in manyclinical trials of novel therapies in rheumatic diseases and has contributed toa number of important investigator-initiated trials including the SWEFOT trial.He has published over 240 original papers, book chapters and reviews, and isEditor of the textbook Targeted Treatment of the RheumaticDiseases and associate-editor of Dubois’ Lupus Erythematosus.In 2004, Professor van Vollenhoven was awarded the Scandinavian Research FoundationPrize for excellence in clinical research in rheumatology, and he is anhonorary member of several rheumatology societies.
