Endocrinology unit

As an integral part of the Department of Medicine, Huddinge, the Endocrinology unit is studying the role of lipid metabolism in cardiometabolic diseases. Professor Mikael Rydén is heading the Unit of Endocrinology with the Lipid laboratory and Clinical Research Center.

Lipid Laboratory and Clinical Research Center

The unit is comprised by one fully equipped wet laboratory, called the Lipid laboratory, located in the at KI Campus Flemingsberg and a Clinical Research Center at the adjacent Karolinska University Hospital, Huddinge. The Clinical Research Center is part of a core facility within the Strategic Research Programme in Diabetes. 

The Unit of Endocrinology with the Lipid laboratory is world leading in the studies of human white adipose tissue, with ongoing local, national and international collaborations with research groups conducting metabolic research. 

Studies of white adipose tissue

Our scientific mission is to study role of human white adipose tissue in common cardiometabolic diseases. We have a long-standing record as one of the world-leading groups in the field of human adipose tissue research. Altogether, the unit consists of four independent groups led by principal investigators with specific areas of interest, senior researchers, post-doctoral fellows, PhD students and technical staff.
