Liselotte Jensen

Liselotte Jensen is an Associate Professor at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine, Temple University, specializing in Cardiovascular Sciences. Her research focuses on epithelial cell immunobiology and cytokine signaling.

• PhD in Biotechnology from University of Aarhus
• MSc in Chemistry and Biotechnology from University of Aarhus
• Postdoctoral training at University of Pennsylvania and Trinity College

Her laboratory investigates the IL-36 cytokine system in epithelial tissues, with applications to psoriasis, lung diseases, and microbial immune evasion. Key research areas include:

• Epithelial stress response mechanisms
• Cytokine-receptor interactions
• Unconventional protein secretion pathways
• Epithelial-microbe co-evolution
• Inflammatory to neoplastic transitions
• Pathogen immune evasion countermeasures

Recent publications reveal collaborative work on viral pathogenesis (HSV-1), IL-36 receptor mapping, and viral immune modulation strategies. The lab employs in vivo mouse models and in vitro human cell systems to study epithelial immune functions.
