Said Havarinasab serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences (BKV) within Linköping University's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, conducting research through the Division of Clinical Chemistry and Pharmacology (KKF) on immunotoxicological impacts of environmental and pharmaceutical agents.
His research expertise spans:
- Immunology and Autoimmune Disease Mechanisms
- Heavy Metal Toxicology (mercury, silver, gold)
- Drug-Induced Immune Reactions
- Genetic Susceptibility to Autoimmunity
- Threshold Dose Determination for Immune Effects
Analysis of his 2017-2024 publications reveals consistent investigation into autoimmune triggers, particularly how heavy metals and pharmaceuticals induce autoantibody production via molecular pathways like NF-kappaB. His work predominantly utilizes murine models—including transgenic strains—to dissect genetic factors (e.g., Bank1, HLA haplotypes) in disorders resembling systemic lupus erythematosus and drug-induced hepatotoxicity, establishing critical exposure thresholds for immune dysregulation.
Award and funding status:
- Scientific Awards: No awards documented in available sources
- Grants and Mentoring: No information provided on research funding or student supervision
His experimental work operates within KKF's framework, employing integrated in vitro and in vivo methodologies to assess xenobiotic-induced immune responses using both animal models and human tissue studies.
