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
Our research is focused on the regulation of the complement system in health and disease. Complement is crucial part of innate immunity and thus protects host from infections and contributes to removal of dying cells. We study involvement of complement in pathology of rheumatic and inflammatory diseases as well as several types of cancer. Further, we investigate strategies developed by bacterial
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
Värmeöverföring är ett grundläggande ämne baserat på fysik och matematik samt ett tillämpat ingenjörsämne vilande på empiriska samband. Ämnet Värmeöverföring är centralt inom energitekniken men har även stor betydelse inom andra teknikgrenar. Forskningen inriktas mot kopplad värmeledning, konvektion och termisk strålning, effektivisering av konvektiv värmeöverföring genom ytmodifierande metodiker,
Forskningspolitik är en del av det bredare fältet ”forskning om forskning” (Science and Technology Studies) och policystudier. Det är ett tvärvetenskapligt område som studerar styrning och ledning av privat och offentlig forskning samt innovation. Detta kan inbegripa anslagspolitik, ledning och organisering av forsknings- och innovationsmiljöer, utvärdering av forskning, vetenskapliga prioriteringResearch policy is an interdisciplinary field dedicated to the study of the management and governance of research and innovation. Research policy is located at the intersection between Science and Technology Studies (STS) and policy studies. Research in research policy focuses on, among other issues: analysis of funding instruments and their impacts on knowledge production; prioritization and eval
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
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,
