معرفی
Johan Engblom is Professor and Head of the Department of Biomedical Science at Malmö University's Faculty of Health and Society. His primary affiliations include leadership roles at the Biofilms Research Center for Biointerfaces (BRCB), the Skin and Wound Care research platform, and the Water Science Lab. Engblom's research focuses on three interconnected pillars: (1) Lipid and polymer biochemistry, (2) Biobarrier functionality (skin/mucosa) in pharmaceutical design, and (3) Translational pharmacy bridging molecular mechanisms with patient applications.
Recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate strong emphasis on dermatological biophysics, featuring studies on stratum corneum hydration mechanisms, antibacterial agents, and non-invasive biomarker sampling techniques. His team frequently employs X-ray diffraction and vapor sorption methodologies to analyze skin barrier properties. Research outputs consistently target clinical applications, particularly in diabetic skincare and early melanoma detection.
Engblom leads several ongoing projects including HALRIC (Hanseatic research infrastructure), vitamin efficacy in skin formulations, and biobarrier healing mechanisms. The BRCB lab under his direction specializes in interdisciplinary biofilm research at biological interfaces.
