Biography

Hannes Axelsson is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Gothenburg. His research focuses on the dynamics of memory B cells in the context of respiratory viral infections, with a specific interest in SARS-CoV-2. He has contributed to the understanding of immune responses in COVID-19 patients, studying single-cell BCR transcriptome analysis to uncover the persistence of early-formed, antigen-specific clones. Axelsson's work has revealed important insights into the immune cell profiles in relation to influenza virus infections, examining the interactions between innate and adaptive immune cells and exploring the sex bias observed in invariant natural killer T cells. His recent publications include significant findings about IgG responses in mild and severe COVID-19 infections, aiming to improve our understanding of humoral immunity in viral infections.
