Unit of Internal Medicine

We conduct research and teaching within different areas related to internal medicine such as endocrinology, nephrology, chest medicine, gastroenterology/ hepatology and coagulation disorders.

Photo of a chest with the arms lifted and lungs, veins and heart can be seen through the skin. Everything is tinted in blue.

Unit of Cardiovascular Sciences

We conduct research and teach within subjects relating to cardiovascular sciences. The research includes both basic and methodological and clinical research.

Training in ACT for medical personnel reduces the need for sick leave

Medical care personnel in primary care have been trained in a form of therapy known as ACT. This enables them to make medical decisions on firmer grounds. The training has led to a 21% reduction in sick leave for their patients.

DNA networks in research into autoimmune renal diseases

Daniel Appelgren is investigating a type of renal disease in which the immune system attacks and damages the kidneys. He has been awarded a grant of SEK 1.25 million from the Ingrid Asp Foundation to carry out renal research at LiU.

Mathematical modelling brings brain insights

Can we see what is happening in the brain? Yes, we can in a sense, using imaging technology. But the processes in the brain remain to a large extent mysterious. Researchers are now using modelling to help understand these processes.

LiU CircM

LiU CircM is a strategic research network for researchers at Linköping University and Region Östergötland within the research field circulation and cardio-metabolic risk factors.

Researchers are looking at a heart image

Simulation of Cardiac Blood Flow from CT

Advanced CT creates amazing visualization of the beating heart. However, the complex interactions of blood flow are not fully reflected by these images. This project aims to extract blood flow data from CT images using image-based simulations.

Three researchers are standing around a patient in an MRI.

Carotid plaque assessment

This project develops novel methods for better risk assessment of carotid plaque by focusing on plaque composition and blood flow parameters rather than level of vessel constriction.
