معرفی
Karin Öllinger is a Professor at Linköping University's Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences (BKV), part of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. She leads research in the Division of Cell and Neurobiology, focusing on lysosomal functions in disease contexts. Her work targets cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, exploring therapeutic interventions through lysosomal regulation.
Research interests center on lysosomes' roles in cellular processes like degradation, nutrient sensing, and cell death, with implications for disease mechanisms. Her studies include lysosomal dysfunction in Parkinson's disease, melanoma diagnostics, and UVA-induced cellular responses.
Publications highlight lysosomal leakage in Parkinson's models, diagnostic markers for melanoma, and extracellular vesicle dynamics in skin cells. Ongoing work emphasizes translating lysosomal biology into clinical applications.
No scientific awards are explicitly listed, though her research contributes to major biomedical fields. Advising and grant details are not specified in available materials. She collaborates with teams in the Division of Cell and Neurobiology, fostering interdisciplinary approaches to biomedical challenges.
