Joey Lau Börjesson is an Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer at Uppsala University's Department of Medical Cell Biology within the Faculty of Medicine. Leading Research Group 21.6.12, Dr. Lau Börjesson maintains an active laboratory focused on pancreatic islet biology and diabetes research with contact information listed at BMC, Husargatan 3 in Uppsala.
Dr. Lau Börjesson's research interests center on pancreatic islet transplantation, beta cell biology, and diabetes pathophysiology. Their work investigates the vascularization and engraftment of transplanted islets, stem cell-derived beta cells, and molecular mechanisms underlying beta cell function and survival. Recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on improving islet transplantation outcomes through understanding vascularization, neural integration, and molecular targeting of beta cells.
Analysis of recent publications (2019-2025) reveals consistent research in islet transplantation techniques, stem cell differentiation into functional beta cells, and molecular mechanisms of beta cell function. The work spans from basic islet physiology to translational applications, with particular emphasis on vascular and neural integration of transplanted islets and novel approaches to beta cell targeting for imaging and therapy.
Dr. Lau Börjesson actively collaborates with researchers across Uppsala University, particularly with members of the Department of Medical Cell Biology including Per-Ola Carlsson's research group, Daniel Espes, and Svitlana Vasylovska. The research appears to be supported by various Swedish research funding bodies focused on diabetes and regenerative medicine, though specific grants aren't detailed in the available information.
As leader of Research Group 21.6.12, Dr. Lau Börjesson oversees a team investigating pancreatic islet biology and transplantation. The group works closely with other research teams at the Department of Medical Cell Biology, particularly those focused on diabetes, islet transplantation, and stem cell research, contributing to Uppsala University's strong reputation in diabetes research.
