Oliver Seifert

Oliver Seifert is a Senior Associate Professor at Linköping University, affiliated with the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences (BKV) and the Division of Cell and Neurobiology (CNB). His research focuses on dermatological conditions such as lichen sclerosus, psoriasis, and their epidemiological, immunological, and genetic underpinnings. He has contributed to studies on disease incidence, comorbidity patterns, and quality-of-life impacts, leveraging nationwide register data and molecular approaches.

• Key areas: Cutaneous disorders, epidemiology, immunology, and neurobiology.
• Recent work includes analyzing lichen sclerosus regional variations and psoriasis severity linked to genetic factors.

His division, CNB, investigates cell biology and neurobiology, fostering interdisciplinary research. Notable collaborations include studies on chronic pain mechanisms, ion channel dysfunction in epilepsy, and nano-material applications in medical devices.
