Division of Inflammation and Infection (II)

The Division of Inflammation and Infection (II) includes clinical subject areas such as Immunology, Rheumatology, Pathology and Microbiology.

Our aim is to provide education and research within this wide field, having the body’s defense system as its common ground, in such a way that a profound understanding of the inflammatory process and the microbes, significant role for health and curiosity to participate in research is achieved.

Research

Frozen bio samples.

GraBB – Pregnancy Biobank

In collaboration between LiU, the Women's Clinic in Linköping and Linköping University Hospital a biobank has been created with blood samples from 8,000 pregnant women.

Tick-borne infections

We conduct translational, patient-centered research on tick-borne infections and COVID-19. Collaborative projects form the foundation of the translational research being carried out.

Cell migration in health and disease

Directional cell motility follows us from creation to death and is a vital part of life. Our main interest in this regard is how water flux via AQP contribute to the process of membrane protrusion necessary for directional whole cell translocation.
