Immunology and Respiratory Medicine
Within the Division of Immunology and Respiratory Medicine we perform translational research in a number of different areas where the immune system and its components are studied. The main focus is to understand our immune system in health and in diseases, such as allergy, inflammatory diseases, infection and cancer.
A large part of the research is done on clinical samples in close collaboration with the hospital and health care system, but animal models are also used to gain deeper knowledge of the mechanisms that drive different types of immunological and inflammatory reactions in diseases.
The overall goal of our research is to improve the possibilities to prevent diseases, and precision medicine for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic possibilities that benefit the patients.
