Elias Arnér (Elias S. J. Arnér; born 2 March 1966) is a Swedish professor in biochemistry active in the fields of redox biology and cancer research.
He received his Ph.D. in 1993 from Karolinska Institutet on the subject of nucleoside analogues in relation to cancer and HIV treatment.
The research of Arnér focuses on redox control of cell function and mechanisms of selenoprotein dependent pathways, with a special interest in the mammalian thioredoxin system.
Another focus of research is the development of production systems for selenoproteins and their potential use in diverse biotechnological applications.
He has created several installation, seminars and publications with the conceptual artist Per Hüttner: Begrepp – En samling[3] and (In)Visible Dialogues.
