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.
Lisi Wagener
Research Scholar
Lisi is working on the relation between neuropeptide and ILC2s in development of autoimmune arthritis
Lina Andersson
Research Scholar
Lina is developing protocols for the isolation and characterization of human ILC2 from peripheral blood and tissues.
Ida Ekvall
Master's thesis student
Ida is current doing her Master¨s thesis project in our lab. She is working with Agnieszka to understand how ILCs influence the development of autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis.
