Paediatric Endocrinology

The research is focussed on clinical problems and includes clinical research projects at the clinical paediatric endocrine section and translational experimental research at the paediatric endocrinology research laboratory.

Part of the:

Research Areas

Growth and cartilage biology - Ola Nilsson's research group

Growth and cartilage biology - Ola Nilsson's research group

The ultimate goal of our research is to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing skeletal development and growth. This knowledge will then be applied to improve medical treatment in disorders of bone growth and structure as well as osteoarthritis, and to improve tissue-engineering of growth plate and articular cartilage.


 

What we do

Several active research groups are covering different areas: reproductive biology, growth physiology and genetics, diabetes mellitus, metabolism and development of hormonal pharmaceuticals for paediatric use.

A general aim of the research activities is to help children with endocrine and metabolic disorders to achieve better quality of life by improving their growth and body composition.
