Eva Sverremark Ekström

Eva Sverremark Ekström is a Professor and Head of the Department of Molecular Biosciences at Stockholm University's Wenner-Gren Institute. Her research focuses on how early-life interactions between immune cells and gut bacteria shape immunological function, with implications for diseases like asthma and allergy.

• Key Research Themes
  • Molecular mechanisms of microbe-host communication during immune development
  • Role of microbiota in immune-mediated disease pathogenesis
  • Therapeutic potential of bacterial components in chemotherapy-induced intestinal inflammation

The group maintains an international collaborative network and investigates both basic biological processes and clinical applications through human tissue studies.
