Jan Holgersson

Jan Holgersson is a Professor and Chief Physician at the Department of Laboratory Medicine, University of Gothenburg. His research focuses on glycobiology, transplantation immunology, and mucin biology, with clinical applications in organ transplantation, infectious diseases, and cancer diagnostics.

Research Interests:
His work spans molecular mechanisms of glycan-mediated interactions in health and disease, particularly:

• Role of glycans in transplant rejection and xenotransplantation barriers
• Mucin glycosylation in cancer and bacterial/viral pathogenesis
• Development of glycoengineered therapeutics for infections
• Glycan biomarkers for stem cell potency and transplantation outcomes

Publication Trends:
Holgersson's 15 most recent articles (2016-2024) demonstrate consistent focus on:

• Clinical translation of glycobiology in transplantation trials
• Structural analysis of glycan-lectin interactions in disease
• Engineering mucin-based tools for pathogen inhibition
• Mass spectrometry characterization of tissue-specific glycans
