Välkommen till Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper, en av sex institutioner vid Medicinska fakulteten, Lunds universitet. Genom vår forskning ökar vi kunskapen och förståelsen om människors hälsa och livskvalitet. Hälsofrämjande och förebyggande insatser, behandlande åtgärder, vård och omsorg och rehabilitering är centrala forskningsområden. Vi arbetar i nära samarbete med hälso- och sjukvård och kThe Department of Health Sciences is one of six departments at the Faculty of Medicine, Lund University. We conduct research within the field of health sciences. Health promotion and prevention efforts, Treatment measures, Health and social care and Rehabilitation are key research areas. We work in close collaboration with health care and municipalities to translate research results into practical

Hjärt-kärlsjukdom är världens vanligaste dödsorsak. Det främsta underliggande tillståndet är ateroskleros: plack som bildas i blodkärlens väggar och kan orsaka akuta komplikationer, såsom hjärtinfarkt och stroke. Genom vår forskning ämnar vi identifiera kliniska metoder som kan hjälpa oss att hitta plack med hög komplikationsrisk, för att i tid kunna ge adekvat förebyggande behandling. Vi vill äveCardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death. The main underlying condition is atherosclerosis: plaques formed in the arteries which can cause complications as stroke or myocardial infarction. Our research aims to prevent complications by identifying clinical methods to detect patients with high-risk plaques to personalize treatment strategies as well as novel mechanisms to use as ther

Existing metastatic disease represents a major clinical challenge. The long-term goal of our study is to gain deeper understanding of cellular mechanisms underlying cancer metastasis. We focus on identification and validation of new predictive biomarkers and drug targets that are specifically for metastatic cancer. We recently focus on studying the role of lipid kinases in particular, phosphatidyl

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,

Sektionen Forskning, samverkan och innovation (FSI) omfattar idag fyra avdelningar - LU Innovation (inklusive VentureLab), Forskningsservice, Samverkan och Development Office.

The Lund Cardiac MR Group at the Department of Clinical Physiology, Lund University was established 1999 by professor Håkan Arheden and is led by a steering committee consisting of professors Håkan Arheden, Henrik Engblom, Anthony Aletras, associate professors Einar Heiberg, Ellen Ostenfeld, Erik Hedström, Katarina Steding-Ehrenborg and Johannes Töger. The group performs clinically integrated res

Hudcancer, inklusive malignt melanom, keratinocytcancer (tidigare icke-melanomhudcancer) och också mer sällsynta hudcancerdiagnoser ökar snabbt i de flesta ljushyade populationer. En hudcancerdiagnos ger inte bara inverkan på hälsoekonomiska mätvärden utan också främst på individens livskvalitet. I vår forskargrupp fokuserar vi på kliniskt baserad och registerbaserad hudcancerforskning men även tiSkin cancers, including malignant melanoma, keratinocyte cancer (formerly non- melanoma skin cancer) and also more rare skin cancers are increasing rapidly in most fair-skinned populations. A skin cancer diagnosis has impact not only on health economics but also on the quality of life of the individual. In our research group we focus on clinical skin cancer research as well as on translational ski

Pufendorfinstitutet är ett tvärvetenskapligt institut med syfte att stimulera till samarbete mellan forskare från olika discipliner inom Lunds universitet. I "Teman" och" Advanced Study Groups" ges forskare från alla universitetets fakulteter möjlighet att tillsammans utforska vetenskapliga problem .The Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies is an interdisciplinary institute with the aim to stimulate collaboration between researchers from different disciplines within Lund University. In "Themes" and "Advanced Study Groups", researchers from all faculties of the university are given the opportunity to jointly explore scientific issues.

Forskningen på avdelningen är mångsidig och länkas samman genom seminariet i medierad kultur och information. Forskningen genomsyras av en kritisk analys av digitaliseringen av kultur och samhälle som inkluderar forskningsteman såsom kulturarvsinstitutioner, informationens infrastruktur, kulturpolitik, förlag, bokmarknad, konsumtion och digitalt vardagsliv, läsning, lyssning och förändrade litteraThe research conducted at the division is multifaceted and include several disciplines, all of which get regularly presented at our joint seminar “Mediated Culture and Information. A critical analytical perspective on the digitalization of culture and society permeates our research, which focuses on themes such as cultural heritage institutions, infrastructures of information, cultural policy and

In this group we study how metastatic processes depend on suppression of the immune response and how the immune system actually instead promotes breast cancer metastasis. The research has a strong translational character with clinical collaborations and primary material as base in all projects. The focus is on immunosuppressive cell populations and metastatic processes in breast cancer. Understand
