LEVIC är en tvärvetenskaplig forskargrupp med forskare från juridik, filosofi, kognitiv psykologi och matematisk statistik. Vår forskning handlar om bevisvärdering, framförallt bevisvärdering i brottmål. Vi undersöker empiriskt hur bevisvärdering görs i domstolarna, och vi är särskilt intresserade av kognitiv bias, t.ex. olika typer av matematiska tankefel i de sannolikhetsbedömningar som uppkommeLEVIC is a cross-disciplinary research group with researchers from law, philosophy, cognitive psychology and statistics. Our research concerns legal fact-finding, especially criminal evidence. We investigate empirically how legal decision-makers (judges or jurors) evaluate evidence, and we are particularly interested in cognitive bias and probabilistic fallacies. We do research that aims to improv

Our research group on paediatric haematology is focused on bleeding- and coagulation disorders in children, in particular on haemophilia and venous thrombosis. Haemophilia A and B are hereditary, X chromosomal recessive bleeding disorders caused by deficiency or absence of coagulation factors VIII (FVIII) or IX (FIX) in the blood.

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will provide high-precision time series photometry for millions of stars with at least a half-hour cadence. Of particular interest are the circular regions of 12° radius centred around the ecliptic poles that will be observed continuously for a full year. Spectroscopic stellar parameters are desirable to characterize and select suitable targets for

Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease, and a rapidly growing cause of musculoskeletal disability, chronic pain, and reduced quality of life in an ageing European population. Our aims are to gain novel insights into osteoarthritis - its etiology, occurrence, natural history, treatments, prediction, disease monitoring, and disease burden - to allow for better care, decision making, Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease, and a rapidly growing cause of musculoskeletal disability, chronic pain, and reduced quality of life in an ageing European population.

Artificial Intelligence in Cardiothoracic Science was funded 2006. Traditionally, medical decisions are based on the combined strength of clinical facts and the experience of the clinician. A growing understanding of the molecular, genetic and biochemical basis of diseases have greatly increased the degree of complexity in medical decision-making.

MERGE (ModElling the Regional and Global Earth system) står för modellering av jordens klimatsystem, med fokus på vegetation och terrestra ekosystem. Målet för den nationella strategiska plattformen är att öka kunskapen om klimatet med speciellt fokus på hur atmosfär, markyta, vegetation och ekosystem samverkar. Verksamheten omfattar avancerad forskning, disciplinär och tvärvetenskaplig forskarutbMERGE is a Strategic Research Area working with modelling the regional and global Climate System with focus on the interactions between the climate and the terrestrial biosphere. MERGE brings together more than 150 researchers collaborating across five Swedish universities - Lund University, Chalmers, University of Gothenburg, KTH and SMHI. The cutting-edge research environment are experts on the

MedCUL är Medicinska fakultetens Centrum för Undervisning och Lärande. Vi erbjuder kompetensutveckling inom undervisning och lärande. Vi verkar för att utformning av, beslut om och genomförande av utbildning ska vila på aktuellt internationellt kunskapsläge inom utbildningsområdet.MedCUL coordinates the faculty's quality assurance work at undergraduate level in cooperation with educational committees and program directors. We collaborate with teachers and educational leaders in developmental projects. Our research in medical education concerns areas related to our practice such as Problem Based Learning (PBL), workplace learning and supervision, PhD student supervision and

Avdelningen för övergripande utbildningsstöd ansvarar för verksamhet av programövergripande karaktär, såsom projekt och koordinering av frågor som omfattar alla utbildningsprogram på grund- och avancerad nivå vid fakulteten.This division is responsible for activities involving several or all programmes at the Faculty of Medicine, and the coordination of development projects and analysis concerning education at the Bachelor and Master levels.

Epilepsy is a devastating neurological disorder characterized by synchronous neuronal activity, which manifests as epileptic seizures. It usually develops after an initial insult, such as head trauma or stroke, which triggers the epileptogenic process. During epileptogenesis, the affected brain regions undergo multiple changes in connectivity and gene expression, and among the most affected genes Epilepsy is a devastating neurological disorder characterized by synchronous neuronal activity, which manifests as epileptic seizures.

Hereditärt angioödem (HAE) är en ovanlig men allvarlig sjukdom som orsakas av en genetiskt betingad brist eller nedsatt funktion hos enzymhämmaren C1-esteras inhibitor (C1INH). C1INH reglerar aktiviteten i komplement- och kontaktaktiverings-systemen och den störda funktionen vid HAE orsakar återkommande svullnader, huvudsakligen i hud och slemhinnor. I projektet undersöker vi genetik och komorbidiHereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare but important disease caused by a genetic deficiency or impaired function of the C1-esterase inhibitor (C1INH). C1INH is a key regulator of complement and the contact activation system. In HAE, the dysfuntional C1INH-activity results in recurrent swellings of skin and mucosal linings. In the project, we investigate genetics and co-morbidities in HAE from an ep
