Magnus Paulsson is an Associate Professor in Infection Medicine (BMC) at Lund University, Sweden. His roles include research supervision, project management, and coordination of studies on Lung infections and immunity through the Infect@LU network.
- Primary Affiliation: Lund University, Infection Medicine (BMC)
- Additional Roles: Project Manager (Lung infections and immunity), Affiliated Researcher, Project Coordinator
Research Interests focus on bacterial pathogenesis, host immune responses, and clinical diagnostics. Key areas include:
- Host-pathogen interactions during bacterial infections
- Development of biomarkers for ventilator-associated pneumonia
- Antibiotic therapy optimization
- Role of heparin-binding proteins in inflammation
- Clinical transcriptomics of microbial persistence
- Emergency department diagnostic workflows
Selected Research Trends from 21 publications show expertise in retrospective cohort studies (66% overlap), infectious agents (100%), protein binding mechanisms (68%), and innate immune system dynamics (51%). Recent work emphasizes respiratory tract diagnostics and co-stimulatory immune signaling.
Supervision involves mentoring two active research students: Elin Gromelsky Ljungcrantz and Hanna Rydén. His projects from 2019-2027 include:
- CITRA: Clinical transcriptomics of microbial persistence (2019-2027)
- Diagnostic biomarker trials for ventilator-associated pneumonia (2021-2025)
- New host-pathogen interaction methodologies (2024-2026)
- Sputum diagnostics using cell/protein analysis (2024-2025)
- Pneumonia patient clustering for improved diagnosis (2025-2027)
Collaborations span institutions like Karolinska Institute and Umeå University, with grants from The Royal Physiographic Society in Lund, Åke Wibergs Foundation, and Familjen Knut och Ragnvi Jacobssons Stiftelse.
