Markus Sperandio

Markus Sperandio is a Professor at the Biomedical Center Munich, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU Munich). His research focuses on neutrophil recruitment during inflammation and its molecular regulation, with a particular interest in fetal immune ontogeny, glyco-structures, and circadian rhythms in immunity.

Research Interests: His work explores how sialylation, alarmins (e.g., S100A8/A9), and ion channels (e.g., KV1.3, TRPM7) modulate leukocyte trafficking. Recent projects investigate the interplay between circadian clocks and inflammatory responses, as well as pathways like the non-canonical NF-κB pathway in fetal development.

Article Trends: His publications emphasize neutrophil adhesion, selectin ligands, and magnesium-dependent signaling in inflammation. Contributions span in vivo models of sepsis, murine fetal immunity, and nanoparticle-induced pulmonary inflammation.

Grants & Collaborations: Dr. Sperandio leads projects within collaborative networks like TRR 359 PILOT and TRR 332 - Neutrophils, funded by institutions such as the German Research Foundation (DFG).
