Research summary
AI-generated

Benita Sjögren's research focuses on how cells control internal signaling through proteins called RGS (Regulator of G protein Signaling) proteins, which act as molecular brakes on G protein-coupled receptors, a major class of cell surface signal receivers involved in many physiological processes. Her work examines how these proteins are regulated (including via chemical modifications and degradation) and their roles in diseases such as uveal melanoma (an eye cancer), dilated cardiomyopathy (a heart condition), and microglial (immune cell of the brain) migration relevant to neurological disorders.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade, dipping in 2018-2019 before rising again with a recent uptick in 2025-2026, suggesting sustained rather than steadily growing or declining activity.
