معرفی
Indra Miķelsone is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Human Physiology and Biochemistry at Rīga Stradiņš University, Latvia. She holds a doctoral degree in biological sciences (Dr.biol) and is actively contributing to research in human physiology, with a focus on microcirculation, endothelial dysfunction, metabolic syndrome, psoriasis, and ageing. Her work aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in health and well-being.
Her research interests span microcirculation, endothelial dysfunction, metabolic syndrome, psoriasis, and ageing, with a strong emphasis on inflammatory and vascular mechanisms. She investigates how metabolic and inflammatory conditions affect vascular function and contribute to systemic disease. Her expertise also extends to cytokine dynamics in neurological and dermatological disorders.
The recent publication trends indicate a consistent focus on the interplay between inflammation, metabolism, and vascular health. Her work bridges dermatology, cardiology, and endocrinology, exploring how conditions like psoriasis and metabolic syndrome impact microcirculatory and systemic vascular function. She also examines neuroinflammatory aspects of migraine, linking body mass index and cytokine profiles to disease expression.
- Leading Researcher, Institute of Experimental and Clinical Medicine (2013–2017)
- Researcher, Institute of Experimental and Clinical Medicine (2007–2013)
- Project Leader, 'HR, HRV, BP: Fiziskās slodzes ietekme uz fona stresa līmeņa izmaiņām un kognitīvajām spējām' (2024–2025)
She has participated in numerous conferences and research weeks, presenting posters and oral presentations on migraine, psoriasis, and metabolic syndrome. Although no formal students are listed, her leadership in student projects suggests mentorship roles. No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in the provided text.
Her research is conducted within collaborative networks at Rīga Stradiņš University, involving multidisciplinary teams focusing on physiological and biochemical mechanisms in chronic diseases. She frequently collaborates with researchers such as A. Jurka, P. Tretjakovs, and V. Bondare-Ansberga, contributing to both clinical and experimental studies.
