Petra Wäster is a Lecturer at Linköping University, specializing in the research of lysosomal function and its implications for various diseases, particularly cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Her research aims to elucidate how lysosomal functions are regulated in normal cells and how they become affected by pathological processes. She is particularly focused on the investigation of lysosomal stability, the contents they release, and the role these lysosomes play in the pathogenesis of diseases such as cancer. Her projects explore the impact of lysosomal constituents on cancer cell function, intercellular communication, and their role in extracellular matrix degradation. In addition, she is working on developing drug delivery systems that target lysosomes, which could lead to novel therapeutic strategies for treating and curing diseases related to lysosomal dysfunction.
