Hjärtinflammationsgruppen vid Lunds universitet undersöker immunologiska och inflammatoriska mekanismer som är involverade i hjärtsjukdomar. I djurmodeller utvecklar vi nya terapier riktade mot dessa mekanismer, som syftar till att minska hjärtskadan och förbättra hjärtfunktionen vid hjärtinfarkt, myokardit och septisk kardiomyopati. Vi bedriver också kliniska studier i stora patientkohorter för aThe Cardiac Inflammation Research Group at Lund University investigates immune and inflammatory mechanisms involved in cardiac disease. In animal models, we are developing novel therapies that target these mechanisms, aiming to reduce myocardial damage and improve cardiac function in myocardial infarction, myocarditis and septic cardiomyopathy. We are also performing clinical studies in large pati

Encouraging Innovation and Research and Development stands as a priority of the EU and it is considered a cornerstone of economic growth and prosperity, but can it be promoted at any price? Due to the increasing importance of intangible assets in international trade, multinational corporations have been setting the transfer prices for intra-group transactions of such assets resorting to tax plann

Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease, and a rapidly growing cause of musculoskeletal disability, chronic pain, and reduced quality of life in an ageing European population. Our aims are to gain novel insights into osteoarthritis - its etiology, occurrence, natural history, treatments, prediction, disease monitoring, and disease burden - to allow for better care, decision making,

Under de senaste 100 åren har vi successivt minskat vår dagliga fysiska aktivitet. Eftersom vi är mindre vältränade, svagare och mer överviktiga har benägenheten att drabbas av sjukdomar som diabetes och hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar ökat. WHO rapporterar att 25% av vuxna inte uppfyller de globala rekommenderade nivåerna av fysisk aktivitet. Vår forskningsenhet är intresserad av att lära sig hur genetiDuring the last 100 years, we have gradually reduced our daily physical activity. As less fit, weaker, and fatter, we have become more prone to diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The WHO reports that one in four adults do not meet the global recommended levels of physical activity. Our research unit is interested in learning how genetic variation influences skeletal muscle function

Lungcancer är en vanlig tumörsjukdom med dåliga behandlingsresultat och den cancerform som skördar flest liv i Sverige och globalt. Rökning är den starkaste riskfaktorn för lungcancer men 10-15% av patienterna har aldrig rökt. Lungcancer är en heterogen sjukdom på molekylär nivå. För att förbättra diagnostiken, behandlingen och prognosen i lungcancer behövs en bättre förståelse av tumörspecifika fLung cancer, the leading cause of cancer death, is divided into histological subtypes with large differences in molecular alterations, clinical presentation, and patient outcome. By a combined clinical and molecular approach we focus on improving the molecular understanding of lung cancer and translate research findings into a clinical diagnostics. By characterization of the genomic, transcriptio

Epidemiology is the study of the distribution of diseases and disease promoting factors in the population. The cardiovascular epidemiology research group focuses on studies of cerebrovascular diseases (stroke) and heart diseases, such as myocardial infarction, heart failure or atrial fibrillation. The research is performed in well characterized population-based cohorts, with extensive information

The ability to successfully replace lost nigral dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease (PD) has been clearly shown with fetal ventral mesencephalic transplants, albeit inconsistently. The need to trial this approach with stem-cell-derived neurons is approaching, but it should only commence when all the key issues have been adequately resolved.

We aim to identify novel interventions for prevention and treatment of diabetes-related cardiovascular disease (CVD). Our strategy is to identify genetic, endocrine and metabolic disturbances in humans which are causally related to disease development and are detectable many years before disease presents. We then test in both animals and in human intervention studies if manipulation of such molecu
