Mattias Svensson
Principal Investigator
Mattias is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Rheumatology and Inflammation Research, University of Gothenburg. He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Gothenburg and his postdoctoral training at the La Jolla Insitute of Immunology and the University of California San Diego (UCSD). Mattias also serves at the Deputy Head of Department at The Department of Rheumatology and Inflammation Research
Miriam Bollmann
Postdoctoral Scholar
Miriam received her Ph.D. from the University in Magdenburg, Germany. She is developing novel methods to study the interaction between stromal cells and immune cells in the synvoium.
Gunilla recieved her degree as Biomedical Scientist from the University of Gothenburg. She is currently responsible for collecting and analyzing clinical samples obtained from patients. She is also performing moelcular and functional in vitro assays with fibroblast-like synvocytes.
Anders Nguyen
PhD Student
Anders recieved his M.Sc. from the University of Gothenburg. He is currently stuyding the interaction between ILCs and stromal cells in the pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthrtiis. His work includes performing molecular and functional in vitro and in vivo assay.
Agnieszka Lastowska
PhD Student
Agnieszka received her M.Sc from the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. She is currently investigating what mechanisms that regulates the development and activation of ILCs in humans and mice.
Gustav is a biotechnologist from Chalmers University. He is currently developing multicolor immunofloursecent staining protocols for detecting innate immune cells (e.g. ILCs) and stromal cells (e.g. fibroblast-like synoviocytes) in human tissue samples.
Isabel Haupt
Research Scholar
Isabel is investigating the location of ILC2 within the synovium of RA patients and their interaction with FLS.
Konstantin Daume
Research Scholar
Lina Andersson
Research Scholar
Konstantin is working with Agnieszka to characterize the role of ILCs in development of autoimmune arthritis
Lina is developing protocols for the isolation and characterization of human ILC2 from peripheral blood and tissues.
Liza Rask
Bachelor thesis student
Liza is molecular Bbology student from the University of Gothenburg, who is currently doing her bachelor thesis project (30hp) in our lab. Her project is focused on developing novel in vitro 3D models of human synovium, which can be used assess different anti-rheumatic therapies
