Our research aims to understand the function of DNA methylation in the biology of human CD4+ T-cells, and use this knowledge to dissect its role in disease.

We have studied adverse effects on the immune system by exposure in vitro and in vivo using both animal models and humans. This has enabled us to establish the threshold dose for effect of different modes of exposure to mercury, silver, and gold.

Childhood immune maturation and allergy development: Epigenetic regulation by maternal immunity and microbial exposure during pregnancy.

We are studying the pathogenesis of the disease in experimental systems using broad cell biological techniques. Special interest is devoted to psoriasin which is a small protein...

Our research program has been made possible by a generous donation from the Ingrid Asp Foundation. Our ultimate goal is to obtain an improved understanding of the pathogenesis of psoriasis and to find new modalities for its therapy.

Cells in the immune system of patients with multiple sclerosis behave differently from those of healthy individuals. LiU researchers have exploited this difference to develop a method that can predict disease activity in multiple sclerosis.

Children who develop asthma or allergies have an altered immune response to intestinal bacteria in the mucous membranes even as infants. This has been shown by a new study at Linköping University in Sweden.

Graduate school Forum Scientium, a bridge between medicine, natural sciences and engineering, stimulates creativity and a common use of ideas, knowledge, and equipment.

Many currently used drugs are ineffective for treating complex diseases. However, modern biology today generates enormous amounts of inexpensive, accurate, high-throughput data (‘omics), at several molecular levels.§

A long-term ambition is to contribute to increased understanding of underlying mechanisms for the disease onset, progress and perceived quality of life in systemic inflammatory diseases, especially with regard to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
