Mikael Rhen

Professor Mikael Rhen researches microbial pathogenesis at Karolinska Institutet's Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology. His work focuses on Salmonella biofilm formation, antibiotic resistance mechanisms, and host-pathogen interactions using molecular microbiology approaches.

Research investigates how bacterial metabolism influences virulence and biofilm development during infections, with applications for novel therapeutic strategies against persistent infections.
