Principal Investigator, Associate Professor in Virology “What would be easy turned out to be difficult. That is one way of summarising over 30 years of efforts to find a vaccine or a cure for HIV, the virus that causes the disease AIDS. It is this scientific challenge that triggers the researcher Joakim Esbjörnsson.” From “Forskarnas Nyheter”(2017) Joakim Esbjörnsson is an Associate senior lecture

The field of tumor virology has provided groundbreaking insights into the causes of human cancer. In my research at Lund University I focus on I) characterization of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated mechanisms for disease development and II) use of HPV for prevention of disease.Concerning HPV-associated benign tumors as recurrent laryngeal papilloma, we study de-regulated pathways of the loca

Laryngeal Papilloma Interaction between HPV, respiratory bacteria, and a dysfunctional local immune response may promote laryngeal papilloma.  Although presence of human papillomavirus (HPV)-vaccines, there are new cases of HPV-diseases. Such a disease is laryngeal papilloma (LP) which is a benign tumor that can persist during life and is considered incurable, manifested by obstruction in the resp

There are two types of HIV, HIV-1 and HIV-2, which can lead to AIDS. HIV-1, with global spread, is the more aggressive and infectious virus. The reason for the difference in pathogenesis between HIV-1 and HIV-2 is not yet clear, and neither is the inhibiting effect that HIV-2 has on HIV-1 in dually infected understood. Our research is focused on understanding the interactions between the immune sy

In recent years, RNA molecules, with the ability to affect or turn off pathogenic genes, have become promising drug candidates in several areas. However, it has been a challenge to develop techniques to deliver the RNA molecules into the cells where they have an effect. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now developed a sensitive technique that makes it possible to study the delivery in
