About our research in these fields

DIABETES:

Research on diabetes has become one of the most prominent research areas at Lund University. It has been supported by two major national center grants. No less than four of the PIs hold individual ERC grants. The signature field of Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC) is the genetics of Type 2 Diabetes, a field it has pioneered and is now steering towards a functional genomics approach with a strong translational element. Islet biology is also at the cutting edge of international diabetes research. LUDC has access to large patient cohorts and biobanks, which are unique in the world. Technical platforms for omics, imaging, transgenic models and profiling of plasma samples are available and there is a tight association with the clinical department. LUDC, which comprises approx. 400 scientists, is a vibrant research environment well-known for its interactive and generous atmosphere.

THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM:

Chronic respiratory diseases are common diseases in modern society. Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome are all diseases that severely affect quality of life. The overarching aim for our research milieu is to identify optimal regenerative capacity by understanding key pathophysiological mechanisms in chronic inflammatory airway diseases, for use in phenotyping, predicting prognosis and evaluate response to therapy, but also to develop new cell therapies. To reach these goals we have built-up a translational research milieu in Lund for clinical- and experimental top research. In this milieu we have excellent clinicians, large biobanks, and experimental researchers working with tissue microarrays for cell patterns and extracellular matrix, cell culture platforms with cell sorting capacities, extracellular competence, mass spectrometry, and stem cell progenitors. We strongly believe that regenerative medicine has the potential to increase the preclinical knowledge of the pathophysiological mechanisms behind serious life shortening lung diseases ultimately identifying therapeutic cells for future therapy.

THE HEMATOPOIETIC SYSTEM:

The hematopoiesis research environment at Lund University has an internationally leading role. More than 20 independent research groups are currently working on various aspects of basic and translational hematological research and are physically co-localized across two neighboring floors providing a highly interactive and dynamic research environment. A major aim is to promote the development of improved cell-based therapies of hematological diseases. Examples of such research include developmental hematopoiesis and lineage specification, biology of hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stroma cells, as well as ES/iPS cell and gene therapy applications.
