About me

Mikael Karlsson, Professor of Immunology at the Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology, researches the regulation of the immune system and why it sometimes becomes disrupted, leading to disease. He is particularly interested in B cells and macrophages. His research adds to knowledge of autoimmune diseases and is also related to cancer.
