Division of Clinical Chemistry and Pharmacology (KKF)

The Division of Clinical Chemistry and Pharmacology (KKF) conducts research that includes the subject areas of anesthesiology/intensive care, pharmacology and clinical pharmacology, forensic sciences and clinical chemistry.

The overall goal of the research is to improve diagnosis and treatment by developing new drugs, mapping and using new methods to predict and reduce the risk of serious side effects in e.g. cancer treatment, intensive care and hemostasis disorders. The research also includes projects aimed at solving crimes with the help of advanced analysis and AI, identifying and characterizing new online drugs etc.

The division teaches at basic and advanced level in medical, biomedical and technical education as well as conducts doctoral education.

Research

Bone, mineralization and vascular calcification.

Bone, mineralization and vascular calcification

Mineralization occurs normally in bone but has, nevertheless, much in common with the pathological process of vascular calcification, which inevitably leads to increased morbidity and mortality.

How to solve murders using postmortem metabolomics and artificial intelligence

Successful efforts from this research environment will be implemented into routine case work and will aid police work in providing investigative leads and new tools to expand objective forensic evidence.
