SIC Seminar Series - Inta Gribonika

Title: Microbiota control of skin’s humoral immunity

We are excited to welcome Inta Gribonika from Lund University:

SIC Seminar with Inta Gribonika, Lund University, Sweden
SIC Seminar with Inta Gribonika, Lund University, Sweden

Inta obtained a BSc degree in biology from the University of Latvia (Riga, Latvia), working on virus-like particle nanotechnology in the lab of Prof. Kaspars Tars.

She was awarded Marie Curie ITN fellowship to pursue doctoral training in immunology with Prof. Nils Lycke at the University of Gothenburg (GU) (Göteborg, Sweden), where she studied mucosal immune responses to oral antigens.

As a postdoctoral researcher, she then joined the lab of Prof. Jonas A Nilsson at Sahlgrenska Center for Cancer Research, GU, to focus on the epigenetic remodeling of uveal melanoma, followed by postdoctoral training in the lab of Dr. Yasmine Belkaid lab (NIAID/NIH, USA), where she focused on skin’s humoral immunity to commensal microbiota.

Since March 2025 she is a tenure-track investigator and a group leader at Lund University, Sweden.
