Research groups
Research performed at the department is organized into 10 research groups and two technology platforms, and is essentially directed toward studies on basal medical, biomedical and biological problems.
Some of the research performed has a clear anchor in clinical research and is based towards patient-related medical problems. This form of activity is mirrored by the focus that the Department has had in recent years on translational medical research.
Cellular Networks Group (CELLNET)
Craniofacial Development Biology
Neural Networks Research Group
The Translational Signaling Group (TSG)
Molecular Imaging Center (MIC)
-
BiorecognitionSmall images:
The research group Biorecognition investigates the molecular mechanisms behind biomolecular binding and functional response in metabolic and signal transduction pathways.
-
Cellular Networks Group (CELLNET)Small images:
The cell-cell communication and interaction is central for the angiogenic process in both normal and pathological condition.
-
Cardiovascular ResearchSmall images:
Interstitial fluid, extracellular matrix and tissue microenvironment form the foundations for our research.
-
Craniofacial Development BiologySmall images:
Organ formation is a complex process controlled by reciprocal signaling interactions between cell types of different origin. Interacting cells are organized into various three-dimensional structures with different tissue and organ specific cells.
-
Matrix BiologySmall images:
The matrix biology groups investigates mechanisms of cell adhesion to collagen and the importance of proteoglycan synthesis for cellular function.
-
Neural Networks Research GroupSmall images:
The Neural Networks Research Group conduct basic and translational research within the areas of neurobiological research with an emphasis on structure and function of neurons, networks and systems.
-
Neuroscience Research GroupSmall images:
Basic and translational research in the field of neurophysiology, molecular neuroscience and neuroimaging.
-
Neurotargeting Research GroupSmall images:
Advances in molecular neurobiology now provide possibilities for the development of new therapies designed for treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
-
Translational Cancer ResearchSmall images:
Research within the formation of cancer tumors and which cellular mechanisms that controls the development of cancer.
-
The Translational Signaling GroupSmall images:
Research of signaltransduction and it's effect on genetranscription, viability of cells and dynamical cellstructures.
