Ida Elin Maria Uddbäck

Ida Elin Maria Uddbäck is a PhD Guest Researcher at the Department of Immunology and Microbiology within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. Her work focuses on the intricate relationship between CD8 T cells and respiratory viral infections, particularly influenza, with emphasis on tissue-resident memory T cells in the lung.

Dr. Uddbäck's educational background includes foundational work in bacteriology that established her molecular biology expertise before transitioning to viral immunology. Her research has evolved to center on how CD8 T cells in the respiratory tract can be leveraged for vaccine development against viral pathogens.

• Specializes in CD8 T cell responses to respiratory viral infections
• Investigates tissue-resident memory T cells in lung immunology
• Studies persistent antigen's role in long-term immune memory
• Focuses on influenza virus and vaccine development strategies

Her recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on understanding how memory T cells in the respiratory tract can prevent viral transmission, with her 2024 Nature paper representing a significant contribution to the field. Her work bridges basic immunological mechanisms with practical vaccine applications.

Dr. Uddbäck has established collaborations with prominent researchers in the field, including Christensen, Thomsen, and Kohlmeier, as evidenced by her publication record. Her research has garnered attention across multiple platforms with citations on social media and academic networks.

Currently, she is advancing her postdoctoral research to deepen understanding of tissue-resident memory T cell development in the lung, with implications for next-generation vaccine design against respiratory pathogens.
