The laboratory of Professor Tor Ny investigates the role of the protease plasminogen in inflammatory processes such as wound healing, radiation side effects, periodontitis and periimplantitis. We have discovered that the plasma protein plasminogen is a key inflammatory regulator that play an important role in the defense against several diseases. Unique mouse models for the study of these diseases have been developed.
Umeå University offers two postdoctoral stipends for two years each to study the effects of plasminogen in disease models in mice. The studies involve common methods in cell biology, immunology molecular biology and biochemistry. Most of our studies involve analysis of genetically modified mice.
