Petter Brodin is Garfield Weston Chair and Professor of pediatric immunology at Imperial College London and professor of Pediatric immunology at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. The Brodin lab (https://brodinlab.com/) develops and applies novel experimental and computational methods to describe human immune system variation with a particular interest in the immune systems of children, its development early in life, and its role in health and disease during childhood.

Petter Brodin is a consultant in pediatric immunology combining clinical work at Astrid Lindgren children’s hospital, unit for pediatric rheumatology, Karolinska University Hospital with leading two research teams of 25 members at Karolinska Institutes in Stockholm, Sweden and Imperial College London, UK. These teams develop and applies system immunology approaches to study human immune system variation in health and disease and human immune system development early in life. The work of the group involves the elucidation of heritable and non-heritable factors that shape human immunity, immune system development and adaptation to microbial factors early in life as well as a research program in clinical application of systems immunology in children to diagnose and describe immune system dysregulation and enable precision medicine. To enable these activities the group develops novel experimental and computational methods to more comprehensively and accurately monitoring immune systems in humans. Brodin also founded and led the SciLifeLab national facility for Mass cytometry (2014-2024) and served as head of the unit for clinical pediatrics at the department of Women’s and Children’s Health, Karolinska Institutet (2018-2024).
