معرفی
Sara K. Lindén is a Professor at the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Cell Biology, University of Gothenburg. Her research spans multiple biological systems, focusing on mucin biochemistry, host-pathogen interactions, and glycosylation patterns across human respiratory and gastrointestinal systems, as well as fish mucosal surfaces. Key methodologies include mass spectrometry, histochemical staining, and in vitro infection models.
- University of Gothenburg, Department of Medical Biochemistry and Cell Biology
Research Interests:
- Mucin structure and function in host defense
- Glycosylation patterns in human and fish mucosal tissues
- Pathogen binding mechanisms (Helicobacter pylori, Aeromonas salmonicida, Brachyspira hyodysenteriae)
- Impact of smoking and inflammation on airway mucin composition
- Quorum sensing inhibition by host mucins
Article Trends: Recent work emphasizes comparative mucin biology across species (human, pig, fish), with applications in infectious disease prevention, COPD pathology, and aquaculture health management. Studies integrate glycomics, proteomics, and functional assays to elucidate molecular interactions.
Collaborations: Active in interdisciplinary research involving immunology, microbiology, and veterinary science. Collaborators include teams studying respiratory diseases (COPD), fish pathogens (Aeromonas, Moraxella), and porcine dysentery.
