معرفی
Peder Olofsson is a Professor at Karolinska Institutet's Department of Medicine, Solna, leading the Inflammation Neuroscience research group. He holds dual appointments as Professor in Bioelectronic Medicine at Karolinska and previously served at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research (2015–2023). His work focuses on neuro-immune interactions in cardiovascular diseases, combining immunology, neuroscience, and bioengineering.
Education:
- MD and PhD from Karolinska Institutet (2008)
- Docent qualification in Medicine (2018)
Research Interests:
Dr. Olofsson investigates neural regulation of inflammation using bioelectronic medicine approaches. His lab explores how peripheral nerves control vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis, with breakthrough discoveries on vagus nerve stimulation's role in resolving inflammation. Key focus areas include neuroimmune interfaces, bioelectronic therapies, and developing non-invasive nerve stimulation technologies.
Publications: Recent work highlights include landmark studies in Science, Nature, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, emphasizing inflammation resolution mechanisms and neural pathways in cardiovascular disease.
Awards: Recipient of the Swedish Heart and Lung Foundation's Large Research Grant (2023) for pioneering work on nerve signals in atherosclerosis.
Grants/Teams: Collaborates with engineers from KTH and Linköping University through MedTechLabs. Current projects involve developing bioelectronic devices and AI-driven therapies. Lab members include PhD students Wanmin Dai, Ting Liu, and Qi Guo, supervised by assistant professors Laura Tarnawski and Vladimir Shavva.
Labs/Teams: Leads the Inflammation Neuroscience Team within the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine. Key collaborations include the Feinstein Institute and University of Bonn.
