معرفی
Lina Emilsson serves as Senior Lecturer in the Department of Game Design at Uppsala University's Campus Gotland. Her academic work integrates game design methodology with neuroscience to develop applications for project management training, neurorehabilitation protocols, and educational innovation in higher learning environments. She teaches core courses in game development, project leadership, and product development while maintaining an active research profile.
Her research centers on decoding neural circuits of playfulness and translating these insights through game design principles. Key investigations include technology-assisted rehabilitation systems leveraging neurobiological and genetic frameworks, alongside creativity-enhancing frameworks for organizational leadership. This interdisciplinary approach bridges computational design with clinical neuroscience to address challenges in cognitive rehabilitation and educational engagement.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2009-2017) reveals consistent focus on molecular neuroscience mechanisms in neuropsychiatric disorders. Dominant themes include RNA-binding protein functions (particularly QKI) in schizophrenia and Alzheimer's pathology, vesicular transporter dynamics (VGLUT2, SLC10A4) in neurotransmission and behavior, and zebrafish-based neural development modeling. Her work demonstrates strong translational emphasis on biomarker discovery and therapeutic target identification.
