Wallenberg Molecular Medicine Clinical Researcher - Martin Magnusson

The focus of cardiologist Martin Magnusson’s research is epidemiological clinical heart failure as well as diabetes and cardiovascular studies. “We use large population-based and patient-based cohorts to investigate biomarkers and their association with disease. It all aims to find new drug targets for diabetes and cardiovascular disease.”

Martin Magnusson is a senior consultant in cardiology at Skåne University Hospital and a researcher at Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine (WCMM). In 2022, every week a researcher working at WCMM at Lund University and Skåne University Hospital is presented. In the video, Martin Magnusson shares more about his research.
