Ina Schuppe Koistinen

Associate Professor, Karolinska Institutet

Associate Professor, Karolinska Institutet I hold the position as Alliance Director at the Centre for Translational Microbiome Research, Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden. My current research focus is in understanding the role of the microbiome in gastrointestinal diseases and women’s health. The research aims to describe the microbiome in healthy women of reproductive age as well as in pregnant women and investigates associations between the vaginal, oral and gut microbiota and the risk for diseases, such as HPV infection, fertility or pregnancy complications. I complement my research with a career as an artist. My paintings have been used to illustrate books, scientific presentations and publications and are displayed at many research labs and private collections around the world. In 2022 I published a popular science book on women's health and our research in the microbiome field called Vulva: Fakta, myter och livsomvälvande insikter.
