RESEARCH for a better life
At the Faculty of Medicine we do research for patients and for people s health and well-being
Research for patients and for people s health and well-being At the faculty we do research in health sciences, clinical sciences and experimental research for people s health and well-being We do research based in the needs of patients and healthcare providers, research in or together with the healthcare sector, and research that is converted into new treatments and diagnostics The faculty is part of a broad university which gives us unique opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations
Strong interdisciplinary research Examples of research areas: The nervous system and injuries and diseases of the nervous system Diabetes Cardiovascular diseases Blood and blood related diseases Cancer Stem cell biology The ageing human and population
Forskningsinfrastruktur i framkant P Lunds universitet, inom ramen f r Medicinska fakulteten verksamhet, finns forskningsinfrastruktur i absolut framkant och omr det r under st ndig utveckling N gra exempel: - Lund Bioimaging Center (LBIC) - Center for Translational Genomics (CTG) - SciLifeLab @ Lund
SciLifeLab in Lund National research infrastructure , focusing on molecular life sciences Formed in 2022 as one of six nodes in Sweden. - Chemical Biology Consortium Sweden - Clinical Genomics Lund - Cryo-Electron Microscopy - Human Antibody Therapeutics - National Bioinformatics Infrastructure - Structural Proteomics InfraLife a collaboration between SciLifeLab, MAX IV och ESS
Sharing knowledge and research Through our events we spread knowledge and new research findings to the interested public, students, decision makers and patient groups Public events - The Research Day - Kunskapskrogen - Science lunches - Lund culture night
Focus on collaboration Close collaboration with the healthcare sector - a prerequisite for us to be able to conduct education and research Collaboration with industry and business to ensure that research benefits patients Focus on internationalisation and creating diversity in the recruitment of both students and researchers to create a more creative environment
