Cardiovascular Inflammation – Research group Peder Olofsson

We study neuro-immune crosstalk and the immunology of cardiovascular inflammation.

Our research

Unrestrained inflammation is associated with many diseases, including cardiovascular and autoimmune diseases. 

We investigate the cellular and molecular regulation of inflammation by studying interactions between peripheral nerves, immune cells, vasculature and tissues, primarily using genetic models in vivo and in vitro.

The figure shows that the group combines immunology, neuroscience, vascular biology and bioinformatics.
The Olofsson group combines immunology, neuroscience, vascular biology and bioinformatics and strives to define pathophysiological molecular mechanisms with clinical relevance to contribute to improved treatment and prevention of cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases.

Teams

The group consists of four teams that work with complementary perspectives on cardiovascular inflammation.

Detailed cellular and molecular characterization can provide important insights into physiological mechanisms (www.proteinatlas.org).
