About the group

Our group is striving to understand what happens when the body's defense from disease, the immune system, directly or indirectly causes harm to the body.

Coeliac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes, and multiple sclerosis are examples of autoimmune disorders of a chronic inflammatory nature.
We are concentrating on coeliac disease as a model to understand the molecular mechanisms leading to chronic inflammatory disease.

Research in the group has lead to a better understanding of the molecular basis of coeliac disease, but also reveal general principles of immune regulation that are applicable to other immune-mediated disorders.

The Sollid group is part of the Department of Immunology at UiO and OUS and is located at OUS-Rikshospitalet.
