Christoph Thaiss
Assistant Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Thaiss Lab investigates how gut-brain interactions influence health and disease. By studying microbiome-host communication, the lab explores how microbial signals impact immune function, metabolism, and neurological health. Using multi-omic technologies and computational models, they aim to uncover mechanisms underlying inflammation, neurological disorders, and metabolic diseases. Their research supports the development of personalized therapies targeting the gut-brain axis.

Avnesh Thakor
Professor of Radiology (Pediatric Radiology)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsInterventional Radiologists can access almost any part of the human body without the need for conventional open surgical techniques. As such, they are poised to change the way patients can be treated, given they can locally deliver drug, gene, cell and cell-free therapies directly to affected organs using image-guided endovascular, percutaneous, endoluminal, and even using device implantation approaches

Simon Thalén
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiological Sciences Laboratory
BioI am a clinical physiology resident at Karolinska University Hospital and completed my thesis on cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). With a background in mathematics, I am trying to live at the intersection of mathematics, technology, and medicine. My thesis focused on MRI evaluation of constrictive heart diseases, such as pericardial effusion and constrictive pericarditis. I used phase contrast MRI to measure respiratory variation in mitral and tricuspid peak early blood flow velocities and T1 mapping to characterize pericardial effusion fluid.
