About
Inflammation, the body’s natural process in early defense of foreign invaders or in endogenous processes as wound healing, is increasingly recognized as an essential player in disease. Behind an inflammatory process are cellular and protein players communicating in complex ways. Depending on the disturbance, different cellular or protein might be involved. To understand these systems could help us understand disease development, point to new treatment options and strategies in the fights against various diseases for improved health and wellbeing.
One major focus of my research is to determine the inflammatory mechanisms of exogenous and endogenous materials. More explained, the exogenous materials could be intentionally uses as for biomaterials and similar applications, including micro- and nanomaterials in medical use. In contrary, it could also be investigations connected to non-intentionally exposure as micro- and nanoplastic particles from daily exposure. The endogenous materials are produced by the body itself and could be exemplified by cholesterol crystals formed in atherosclerotic plaques. Despite different materials, they all impact the immune system through similar as well as unique immune pathways. The overall aim by this research is understanding the inflammatory/immune system at the intersection of materials exposure and use this knowledge for improving our health.
Ongoing projects are currently focusing on understanding the connections between material properties and inflammatory patterns in relation to biomaterials development and cholesterol crystals with relevance in cardiovascular disease. A new-established project investigates the impacts of micro- and nanoplastics to blood reactions.
As a part of these research focuses, we are also investigating the responses following metabolic disease connected to obesity and diabetes.

For a long time, I have also been connected to a global network of researchers aiming at contributing to develop long-term sustainable (fibrosis-free) biodevices for cell therapy in treatment of Type 1 diabetes.
