Davidsson group Our research Whereas clinical hematology is the branch of medicine concerned with the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of blood disorders, molecular hematology can be defined as the study of hematopoiesis from a molecular and genetic perspective. For several decades, the hematopoietic system has been the foremost biological model when investigating human malignant diseas

DOUSE Group Our ResearchWe seek to define molecular principles underpinning dynamic changes to chromatin structure during human development. We are interested in mechanistic detail: how chromatin regulatory complexes engage and modify the epigenome, and how misregulation of such processes leads to neurological disease. To this end we integrate insights from chromatin biochemistry with functional (

Ottosson Group Our ResearchThe overall purpose of our research is to generate specific and disease-relevant interneurons using neuronal reprogramming techniques.Interneurons are specific neuronal cells in the brain that are paramount for neural function. Loss or dysfunction of interneurons in the cortex is implicated in several brain disorders such as psychiatric diseases. Recent studies suggest a

Consiglio Group Our ResearchThe Consiglio Lab investigates how biological sex impacts human immunity using systems immunology approaches. Generally, females mount more robust immune responses than males, resulting in lower severity of infections, decreased frequency of cancer, but increased prevalence of autoimmunity. Yet, we do not fully understand the precise mechanisms that underlie such sex di

Hansson Group Our ResearchThe broad interest of our group lies in understanding the molecular differences between fetal and adult hematopoiesis. Proteins are the machinery of the cell, responsible for executing the functions essential for cells to operate, survive, differentiate and divide. Increasing evidence emphasises that a substantial variance of protein expression is conveyed at the levels o

Magnusson Group Our ResearchThe main aim of our research is to develop stem cell based therapies for blood and pulmonary disorders. Cancer stem cells (CSC) – which are resistance to conventional therapies – share the normal stem cells capacity of self-renewal. Therefore, it is crucial to define the regulators of self-renewal in normal stem cells and CSC in order to design new treatments that speci

Järås Group Our ResearchAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a fatal disorder of the blood-forming bone marrow cells. The cellular origin of AML is thought to be a normal hematopoietic stem cell that through a series of genetic lesions gives rise to cells with leukemia-initiating capacity, also termed leukemia stem cells (LSCs), which propagate into frank AML.
