The brain, nerves and psyche are together one of ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡â€™s biggest research areas, and one where we in fact have a leading role in experimental neuroscience. Research is ongoing into nerve cells’ signaling systems and networks, how they develop from stem cells and what goes wrong when diseases develop.

Preventing age-related diseases and functional loss is an important challenge. We still do not know, for example, what happens when memory fails and dementia and Alzheimer's disease develop. More research is needed in order to develop a deeper understanding of the natural course of ageing, as well as risk and protective factors for various diseases.

Both in Sweden and throughout the world, metabolic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, heart failure and kidney failure are increasing - conditions that all involve much suffering and the risk of early death. By improving our understanding of molecules in each cell, we can identify biomarkers that predict the risk of developing metabolic diseases.

̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ conducts successful research in regenerative medicine and stem cells, with several strong research groups targeting a variety of disease areas. One example of an established and common stem cell treatment is bone marrow transplantation for leukaemia (blood cancer).

New research environments allows us to deepen and improve our research, become even more internationally successful and attract new research talent from around the world.

̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ offers the widest range of ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ education in Sweden. Several of the programmes include clinical training or other training within the healthcare system.
