Topics
Diabetes
Diabetes
SRP Diabetes is based on several different research groups at Karolinska Institutet and Umeå University. An integrated research environment in the diabetes area has been formed where results are translated between basic and clinical science with the aim to improve the care and treatment of people with diabetes.
Healthcare Sciences and Ageing
Healthcare Sciences and Ageing
Health care sciences include studies in a number of disciplines such as nursing, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, ageing, and health economics. Studies at KI can be applied to such widely-separated areas as cancer, dementia and musculoskeletal problems, as well as defined sub-sets of the general population.
Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Public Health Sciences
Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Public Health Sciences
Researchers in epidemiology and public health sciences study how the environment, lifestyle and genetic factors affect health and the aetiology of disease. This knowledge is used to create methods and approaches for the prevention of disease and ill health.
Endocrinology and Metabolism
Endocrinology and Metabolism
Research into endocrinology and metabolism touches upon many of the most important health problems of our time, including diabetes, obesity, hypertension, osteoporosis and hormonal disturbances. The research spans drug metabolism and intensive care to psychiatry and life style issues.
Physical activity
