Today Sune, head of UCAPS outreach, will re-introduce himself. Sune took on the role last year and will continue for another year!
“👋🏼 Hi everyone - I’m Sune, and I’m excited to introduce myself as the Head of Outreach and Board Member of UCAPS.
Professionally, I’m a Postdoc working at the intersection of gut physiology, immunity, and inflammatory diseases. My work focuses on understanding how gut-derived factors and microbes shape immune responses and influence our peripheral organs . I’m especially interested in how microbes can drive metabolic liver disease and studying how bacterial components, adaptive immunity, and intestinotrophic pathways contribute to gut-liver, gut-lung, and gut-brain crosstalk. I’m also deeply committed to scientific communication and building strong bridges between basic science, clinical relevance, and public engagement.
Personally, I’m driven by curiosity, collaboration, and community. I love connecting people, sharing science in ways that resonate beyond academia, and helping young researchers find their voice. Outside of science, you’ll usually find me watching football or enjoying a beer with friends - although these days, most of my time (and energy!) is joyfully devoted to taking care of my newborn.
In my role at UCAPS, I look forward to strengthening networks, expanding visibility, and amplifying the impact of our community. Whether it’s building partnerships, supporting early-career scientists, or showcasing the incredible work happening across our field, I’m excited to help UCAPS grow and thrive.
If you’d like to collaborate, exchange ideas, or just connect, my door is always open 🌟”
Welcome back Sune!
