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

The ultimate goal of the research performed in my laboratory is to understand the pathogenesis of laminin a2 chain deficient muscular dystrophy (also known as MDC1A) and to develop a pharmacological treatment for this deteriorating disorder.

Epilepsi är en av vår tids mest förödande neurologiska sjukdomar. Den försämrar livskvaliteten för mer än 60 miljoner människor världen över och trots vissa framsteg i utvecklingen av nya läkemedel är de behandlingsformer som finns tillgängliga endast symptomatiska. Medicinerna har allvarliga biverkningar och saknar dessutom fullgod effekt hos en tredjedel av patienterna. Nyligen upptäckte man atEpilepsy is one of the most devastating neurological diseases, affecting at least 60 million people worldwide. But despite certain progress in antiepileptic drug developmental, available pharmacological treatments are only symptomatic, have side effects and fail to adequately control seizures in a third of patients. Recently, neuropeptides and neurotrophic factors emerged as strong regulators of

Osteoporos drabbar till övervägande del äldre kvinnor och dess kliniska konsekvens - fraktur - resulterar i smärta, förlorad självständighet och för tidig död. I vår forskning undersöker vi hur genetiska faktorer och omgivningsfaktorer bidrar till skelettstyrka hos unga vuxna och hos äldre kvinnor. Tonvikten ligger på att definiera gener, åldersrelaterade interaktioner mellan gen och miljö och intOsteoporosis predominantly, but not exclusively affects older women and its clinical consequence, fracture, results in pain, lost independence and premature death. In our research we investigate the genetic and non-genetic factors contributing to skeletal strength in young adults, men and elderly women, with an emphasis on defining the genes, age related gene-environment interactions and interact

Husstyrelser har ansvar för bl a lokalytor och gemensamma faciliteter, vaktmästeri och reception. Husstyrelser finns för följande lokalområden: E-huset, M-huset, V-huset och A-huset. Vid övriga lokalområden, Kemicentrum, Fysiska institutionen, LTH Ingenjörshögskolan i Helsingborg och Matematikcentrum utövas husstyrelsefunktionen av institutionsstyrelsen.Joint services are responsible for premises and facilities, caretaking and the receptions in the various buildings at LTH. Joint services operate in four of LTHs buildings. In other cases, Departmental Boards have the corresponding responsibilities.

Vi bedriver forskning och utbildning med inriktning mot funktionshinder och rehabilitering. Målgrupperna är personer med neurologiska funktionsnedsättningar till följd av stroke, traumatisk hjärnskada, ryggmärgsskada post-polio, multipel skleros, Parkinsons sjukdom och neuromuskulär sjukdom. Forskargruppen leds av en professor i rehabiliteringsmedicin. I gruppen ingår två disputerade forskare oWe conduct research and education with a focus on disability and rehabilitation. The target groups are individuals with neurologic disabilities as a result of stroke, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, post-polio, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and neuromuscular disorders. The research group is led by a Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine and includes two researchers who

The main objectives for Lindkvist laboratory are to make use of structural biology techniques, such as X-ray crystallography, and combine that with microscopy to reveal mechanisms of action in the metabolic systems in the human body. We have for many years been studying the role of bacterial toxins (superantigens) in the immune system, as well as the specificity of certain channels facilitating th

Our research group on paediatric haematology is focused on bleeding- and coagulation disorders in children, in particular on haemophilia and venous thrombosis. Haemophilia A and B are hereditary, X chromosomal recessive bleeding disorders caused by deficiency or absence of coagulation factors VIII (FVIII) or IX (FIX) in the blood. The general aim of this part of the research program is to improve Our research group on paediatric haematology is focused on bleeding- and coagulation disorders in children, in particular on haemophilia and venous thrombosis.
