Elisabeth Nyström

Elisabeth Nyström is a principal investigator at Karolinska Institutet, where she leads a research program focused on mucus biology and mucosal immunology. She obtained her PhD in Medical Biochemistry and Cell Biology at the University of Gothenburg in the Mucin Biology Group, and completed her postdoctoral training in the Becker-Pauly laboratory at Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel, where she developed a strong interest in mucus biology and the regulatory role of post-translational modifications.

Her research investigates how epithelial-derived factors regulate the intestinal mucus barrier and shape tissue homeostasis and inflammatory responses, from molecule to physiology. By integrating molecular and structural approaches with intestinal biology, her work aims to define how mucus and mucus-producing goblet cells shape the interface between the host and the external environment.
