Research groups at Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine

Biomedical Imaging and Spectroscopy; Clinical Instrument Translation (BISCIT)

We develop methods and instrumentation that advance spectroscopy, light transport modeling, and imaging of tissue; creating quantitative, non-invasive tools for the clinical detection, monitoring or treatment of skin diseases and injuries.

Cell signaling in intestinal inflammation

All cells in an organism communicate with one another and with their environment through integrated signaling pathways. By exploring the molecular events that shape cellular decision-making, we can predict and control the fate of individual cells.

Experimental Orthopedics

The purpose of this research is to ensure and accelerate the healing of injured bones and tendons.The project involves clinical research that builds on our previous experimental work, mainly regarding PTH and bisphosphonates.

Gene Regulation during Development and Disease

All cells of a developing organism possess the same genome. We try to understand how different groups of proteins ‘read’ the right portion of the genome in each cell, and how the perturbation of this process can cause human disease.

Nucleic Acids Technologies Lab

The Nucleic Acids Technologies Lab explores the use of nucleic acids as biorecognition molecules to develop highly specific and sensitive systems, with various detection modalities.

Organic nanocrystals

We develop new nanoscale materials and devices for biomedical applications and catalysis. The common theme is using simple organic crystalline building blocks.

The Pantazis Lab

In the Pantazis laboratory, we employ cutting-edge experimental and computational approaches to understand how the intricate structure of ion channels relates to their function.

Selective vulnerability to neurodegeneration

Neurodegenerative diseases cause stereotypical signs based on the specific brain region that is targeted. We try to understand how unaffected regions resist disease with the hope that these secrets can be transferred to vulnerable brain regions.

von Castelmur lab

We want to explore the evolutionary relationship and functional repurposing of human proteins acquired by picornaviruses to develop new antiviral medicine and help gain better understanding of the lifecycle of these biomedically important viruses.
