We develop methods & techniques for depicting anatomy & function in the human body & its organs. From imaging techniques, through methods of analysis and quantification of image information, to validation of new methods and image-based biomarkers

A national centre for research, PhD studies and graduate studies within biomedical engineering, since 1972.

Biomedical Optics studies the basic principles of interaction between light and biological tissues, cells and molecules and develops new technologies for use in basic research and clinical applications.

By combining mathematical models, prior knowledge, and experimental data, we unravel biological mechanisms and contribute to the development of new drugs and clinical tools.

Optical techniques as laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and fluorescence systems, and their related measurement probes, are adapted and translate for use during the neurosurgery.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) researchers bringing together patient-specific simulations, brain atlas and physiological data for clinical support in surgical planning and follow up.

A detailed assessment of various parameters in the same point is crucial for a better understanding of the physiology in the smallest vessels in the body. That leads to better diagnostics and treatment within e.g. diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Access to relevant and valid information is a prerequisite for delivering safe and reliable health care. Information is also a cornerstone for developing methods, processes and businesses. Health informatics enables this.

The goals of our research are to gather knowledge from medical data and improve the flow of information in healthcare systems.

We aim towards being the world leading group in the unravelling of systems-level mechanistic insights, using inter-connected M4 models for decision support in pharma and P4 medicine – thereby making a positive change in society.
