معرفی
Michal Jacek Sobkowiak is a Lecturer and Research Specialist at the Department of Dental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, with a focus on Immunology, Microbiology, and Cancer and Oncology. His work bridges oral health, microbial interactions, and immune responses in viral and tumor contexts.
- PhD in Immunology (2019) from Karolinska Institutet.
- Master of Medical Science (2012) from Karolinska Institutet.
Dr. Sobkowiak's research explores mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, oral microbiome dynamics, and immune responses to viral infections (e.g., SARS-CoV-2, HSV-1, HBV) and cancer (pancreatic, head and neck). His work includes epidemiological studies of oral infections, vaccine immunology, and microbial pathogenesis in oncology.
His recent publications highlight trends in MAIT cell functionality, viral immune evasion, amyloid aggregation in viral pathogenesis, and microbial identification techniques (MALDI-TOF MS). Collaborative projects span immunocompromised individuals, tumor microbiota, and cross-disciplinary applications of immunology.
Dr. Sobkowiak works within the Division of Oral Diagnostics and Surgery at Karolinska Institutet, often collaborating with teams led by Chen M.S., Ozenci V., and Sandberg J.K.
