Centre for Innovation Research – CIRCLE – is an interdisciplinary centre which connects innovation researchers from different faculties at Lund University as well as other Swedish and international universities. The meaning of the term innovation has transformed and is now tightly linked to sustainable development goals including climate change, social sustainability and food security. CIRCLE’s a
Our ultimate research vision is to discover, develop and implement novel neuroprotective and neurorestorative therapies for neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, Huntingtons disease and stroke. My group works with translational research that is tightly linked to clinical research questions. Our experimental focus is to understand neurovascular disease mechanisms. We examine the dysfu
The Center for Advanced Middle Eastern Studies (CMES) at Lund University was inaugurated in 2007 to coordinate and develop education and research working on the region across various disciplines within the university. The purpose of the center is to utilize existing capacities at Lund University and create a new competence at the center to encourage and produce research and academic opportunities
Injectable Bioresorbable Organic Bioelectronics Neuropharmacology—our ambition is to supplement classical biochemical signaling with the modulation of bioelectricity using both ionic and electronic processes. We focus on organic electronics that self-assemble directly inside or near the nervous system to form electronic circuits that mimic its structure and organization, enabling seamless integratInjectable Bioresorbable Organic Bioelectronics Neuropharmacology—our ambition is to supplement classical biochemical signaling with the modulation of bioelectricity using both ionic and electronic processes.

Bacterial infections spanning from local wound infections, affecting patients with non-healing leg ulcers, postoperative wounds or burns, to severe infections and sepsis, are significant medical problems. Today's anti-infective treatments do not address the excessive activation of inflammatory pathways during infection and sepsis, and resistance problems are increasing. Hence, there is a huge unmBacterial infections spanning from local wound infections, affecting patients with non-healing leg ulcers, postoperative wounds or burns, to severe infections and sepsis, are significant medical problems.

In 2009, a nationwide initiative was established in order to lead and develop world-leading research in Sweden. Lund University received strategic research funding from the Swedish Foundation for Stategic Research and the Swedish Government for 12 strategic research areas (SRAs) of excellence. Of these 12 SRAs, StemTherapy (the strategic research area for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine) cont
A shift in new venture creation can be observed from purely profit-oriented models to alternatives attempting to also answer social and environmental needs. Because of their nature, these alternatives face issues regarding their integration in traditional financial and business spheres. Shared Value Creation is a framework that attempts to analyse these ventures and those challenges. Blockchain te
Our research group on paediatric haematology is focused on bleeding- and coagulation disorders in children, in particular on haemophilia and venous thrombosis. Haemophilia A and B are hereditary, X chromosomal recessive bleeding disorders caused by deficiency or absence of coagulation factors VIII (FVIII) or IX (FIX) in the blood. The general aim of this part of the research program is to improve Our research group on paediatric haematology is focused on bleeding- and coagulation disorders in children, in particular on haemophilia and venous thrombosis.

The Urban Systems and Dynamics group, led by Prof. Nik, advances the boundaries of Building Physics to explore the complex interactions between buildings, urban systems, and climate. Our research focuses on designing and optimizing strategies for buildings and urban systems (with a big focus on energy systems) that drive the sustainable urban transition and enhance the built environment's resilien
Lund Hemodynamic Lab was initiated in 2010 by Göran Rådegran in order to provide high quality investigations, essential in risk assessment in guidance of PAH therapies & listing for transplantation & utilizing myocardial biopsies in steering of immunosuppression to prevent rejection after transplantation.
Our mission is to establish a major trans-faculty bio-imaging center at Lund University (Lund University Bioimaging Center), combining knowledge in the fields of medical physics, preclinical and clinical medicine, chemistry, technology and applied mathematics in order to develop imaging methods for the advanced study of human morphology, cellular metabolism and physiological function in health and
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,
Sweden's ATMP ecosystem is rapidly expanding, solidifying its place as a key player in Europe. Currently ranking among the top three countries among the EU9 for identified therapeutic ATMP companies, Sweden's strategic investments are further reinforcing its leadership (MSC 2020). This includes ongoing initiatives to establish industrial-scale ATMP manufacturing capabilities, enhancing the country
In diffusion MRI (dMRI), images are sensitised to water diffusion by the application of magnetic field gradients. Cell membranes hinder the diffusional motion and thereby contribute to the contrast in dMRI. Thus, the diffusion of water molecules is used a probe of tissue microstructure. Data from dMRI is often analysed using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), which yields image biomarkers that reflecIn diffusion MRI (dMRI), images are sensitised to water diffusion by the application of magnetic field gradients.

Epilepsy is a devastating neurological disorder characterized by synchronous neuronal activity, which manifests as epileptic seizures. It usually develops after an initial insult, such as head trauma or stroke, which triggers the epileptogenic process. During epileptogenesis, the affected brain regions undergo multiple changes in connectivity and gene expression, and among the most affected genes Epilepsy is a devastating neurological disorder characterized by synchronous neuronal activity, which manifests as epileptic seizures.
