Felix Mitelman (born 26 August 1940) is a
He is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Polish Academy of Science. He was awarded the Jubilee Prize of the Swedish Medical Association in 1989, the Nordic Fernström prize in 2007, the Söderberg Prize in Medicine in 2008, and the European Society of Human Genetics Award in 2013. He is the founding editor (1989) and editor-in-chief of the scientific journal Genes, Chromosomes & Cancer.
Key publications
In total, Mitelman has co-authored more than 700 academic papers. Together with Fredrik Mertens and Bertil Johansson he maintains a database of all published chromosome aberrations in neoplastic disorders, with clinical features, now numbering more than 65,000 cases (as of December 2016).[1][2] The Mitelman Database of Chromosome Aberrations and Gene Fusions in Cancer also contains information on the molecular genetic and clinical consequences of cancer-associated chromosome aberrations. The database is available on-line. (See below.)
