Helen Vaher is a dedicated researcher at the University of Copenhagen, focusing on the understanding and development of inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and vitiligo. Her research explores the role of keratinocytes and microRNAs in these prevalent conditions, aiming to delineate the molecular pathways involved in their development. She has led several projects highlighting the functions of microRNAs, specifically miR-146a/b and miR-10a, in the regulation of inflammation and keratinocyte proliferation by targeting the NF-κB pathway. In recent years, Helen's interests have pivoted towards the role of T cells in inflammatory skin diseases, particularly their immunological responses. Her current studies investigate the epidermal T-cell subsets' responses to contact allergens while continuing to explore the roles of microRNAs in skin disease development, especially in the context of tissue-resident memory cells and allergic contact dermatitis.
