Susanne Gabrielsson's Biography

Susanne Gabrielsson, Professor, Division of Immunology and Allergy, Department of Medicine Solna, Karolinska Institutet

Professor Gabrielsson is leading a group dedicated to exosome/extracellular vesicle research at the Karolinska Institutet, Sweden. She has been a pioneer in the fields of exosomes in lung diseases and the immune effects of exosomes. Dr. Gabrielsson was the first to describe the presence of exosomes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and in breast milk. Her work has revealed that exosomes are major players in lung diseases such as asthma and sarcoidosis. Her work in animal models is giving new insights into how exosome-based cancer immunotherapeutics should be designed for optimal immune stimulation.
