Marie Lagerquist is a Professor at the Institute of Medicine at the University of Gothenburg, specializing in Molecular Endocrinology. She graduated from the University of Gothenburg with a degree in Molecular Biology in 1998 and completed her PhD in 2004. Lagerquist began her academic career as a research assistant in 2005, funded by the Swedish Research Council, and became an Associate Professor in 2012. In 2023, she was promoted to Professor, taking on the role of deputy director of the Department of Internal Medicine and Clinical Nutrition. Her research focuses primarily on the mechanisms through which estrogen protects bone health, specifically through estrogen receptor alpha (ERa). Lagerquist has demonstrated that significant bone-protective effects of estrogen are mediated via membrane-initiated ERα signaling pathways. Currently, her research investigates the role of estrogen in both the skeletal system and its influence on immune responses. Over the years, she has published extensively in high-impact journals, contributing invaluable insights into the field of molecular endocrinology and its implications for bone health and disease.
