Karolina Edlund

Dr. Karolina Edlund is a Scientific Associate in Systems Toxicology at Leibniz Research Centre for Working Environment and Human Factors (IfADo) in Dortmund, Germany. Her primary affiliation is with the Department of Systems Toxicology, where she conducts research in molecular mechanisms of disease.

Her research focuses on:

• Toxicology and mechanistic safety assessment
• Cancer biology with emphasis on breast cancer and liver disease
• Metabolic disorders including NAFLD/NASH progression
• Molecular pathways in drug-induced organ injury
• Multi-omics approaches in disease modeling

Publications analysis indicates strong collaborative work in hepatic pathophysiology, cancer metabolism, and toxicogenomics. Research consistently integrates transcriptomics, metabolomics and in vivo models to examine:

• Liver-kidney cross-talk in cholestatic injury
• Metabolic adaptation in therapy-resistant cancers
• Gut microbiome interactions with liver disease
• Novel biomarkers for toxicological risk assessment

Dr. Edlund maintains active collaborations across European institutions with publications featuring complex multi-author studies. Current work appears focused on translational applications of omics data in clinical disease models.
