A person does a work test on a test bike. The person has a breathing mask for gas analysis and ECG electrodes attached to them. A test supervisor monitors the test and looks at a screen showing different curves of the test.

Human Physiology Lab (Humanlab)

The Human Physiology Lab (Humanlab) is a research laboratory run by the Division of Clinical Physiology (Department of Laboratory Medicine). For over 20 years we have carried out our own research and supported others in human physiology, with particular depth in skeletal muscle and cardiovascular physiology. Embedded within Karolinska University Hospital in Huddinge, we work closely with ME Clinical Physiology, ME Clinical Neurophysiology and the Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery.
