Malin Johansson

Malin Johansson is a Professor at the University of Gothenburg, affiliated with the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Her research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of intestinal mucus barrier formation, mucin biochemistry, and interactions between gut microbiota and host physiology.

Her research has significantly advanced understanding of mucin structure (e.g., MUC2 and FCGBP proteins), disulfide bond stabilization, and the role of goblet cells in maintaining intestinal homeostasis. She has explored how dietary components like human milk oligosaccharides and fiber influence mucus integrity and metabolic health.

Recent publications highlight her work on transglutaminase-mediated mucin crosslinking, nociceptor neuron-goblet cell signaling, and long-term effects of radiation on intestinal inflammation. Collaborative studies with Gunnar C. Hansson's group dominate her publication record.
