معرفی
Tine Veronica Karlsen is an Associate Professor at the Department of Biomedicine, University of Bergen, Norway. She is affiliated with the Cardiovascular Research and Translational Cancer and Vascular Research groups, where her work focuses on vascular physiology, lymphatic function, and interstitial fluid dynamics. Her research explores the pathophysiology of edema, sodium homeostasis, and the role of the lymphatic system in health and disease.
Research Interests:
- Vascular and lymphatic physiology
- Interstitial fluid regulation and edema formation
- Sodium storage and hypertension
- Tumor microenvironment and drug delivery
- Microvascular permeability and endothelial barrier function
Her recent publications reveal a strong trend in understanding how high salt intake affects skin and muscle physiology, with implications for hypertension and inflammatory diseases like psoriasis. She has pioneered minimally invasive imaging techniques to quantify lymph flow using near-infrared-labeled albumin. Her work spans from basic animal models to translational applications in cancer and cardiovascular disease.
