Linda Elowsson is an Associate Researcher in the Lung Biology department at Lund University's Faculty of Medicine. With a PhD in biomaterials and tissue engineering, she has focused her career on regenerative medicine, transitioning from postdoctoral work on cryogels to her current role as a project manager and researcher in lung disease microenvironment studies.

Her research explores how cellular microenvironments influence responses in chronic lung diseases like COPD and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Key projects include developing cell-instructive biomaterials for lung repair, studying mechanotransduction in lung regeneration, and identifying cross-disease biomarkers between long-term COVID-19 and IPF. She employs 3D ex vivo lung models and collaborates across disciplines with clinicians, physiotherapists, and bioengineers.
Linda’s recent publications focus on elemental metabolism in fibrotic lungs (2025), proteomic biomarkers for post-COVID lung abnormalities (2025), collagen’s role in IPF pathology (2025), overlapping fibrosis pathways in post-COVID and IPF patients (2024), and mesenchymal stem cell behavior in IPF (2024). These works highlight her expertise in biomaterial development, ECM dynamics, and fibrosis reversal strategies.
She contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in health and well-being. Her active grants include funding from the Crafoord Foundation and the Swedish Heart Lung Foundation for lung regeneration projects.
- Assistant Supervisor for Cederberg, A. (PhD candidate, 2024–present)
- Principal Investigator in Biomaterials@LU network (2023–present)
Linda collaborates with multidisciplinary teams including clinicians, physiotherapists, and engineers. Her work involves advanced techniques like cyclic stretch models for lung regeneration and nano-XRF analysis of fibrotic tissue.
