Research activities

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 inflammation and cancer.

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.

Pragmatic Research in Orthopedics - PRIO

Pragmatic Research in Orthopedics is a research group that aim to optimize the quality of care within the field of orthopedic surgery. We have a strong focus on the orthopedic interventions aimed at the lower extremities.

The Cantù Lab - Genome Regulation in Development and Disease

The Cantù Lab at LiU is focused on one important goal: to discover the mechanisms of genome regulation that drive cell differentiation and specialization during embryonic development.

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.

Pantazis Laboratory of Cellular Excitability – PaLaCE

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

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.
