Section for Biomedicine

In the Section for Biomedicine, we use experimental models to study human and veterinary diseases in mammals. Our research also includes animal welfare related concerns as well as laboratory related aspects. Basic scientific disciplines are pharmacology, toxicology, pathology and immunology. 

The section has a strong focus on improving health in humans and animals through a deeper understanding of disease development and prevention.

Besides our seven research groups listed below , the section also hosts

Comparative Pediatrics (COPE)

COPE studies health and disease during early development in animals and humans.

Experimental Pharmacology and Toxicology (ExPT)

The ExPT Lab works with increased oxidative stress which has been associated with several chronic diseases including atherosclerosis, liver steatosis, diabetes and cancer.

Immunology

Our research group focuses on novel regulatory mechanisms that control the immune system and on development of future immune diagnostic tools based on nanotechnology.

Laboratory Animal Science and welfare (LASW)

Our research group focuses on improving and refining laboratory animal models, to improve animal welfare and ensure the highest possible validity and quality of animal experimentation.

Microbial and Nutritional Immunology (MiNI)

MiNI aims at investigating how microbes and compounds in our environment, in particular food components, affect the immune system.

Veterinary Pharmacology

We study the disease mechanisms behind especially heart- and infectious diseases. We work with client-owned dogs and pigs bred for research purposes.
