Bröstcancer är idag den vanligaste cancerformen hos kvinnor och antalet diagnostiserade världen över ökar. Samtidigt blir vi mer och mer överviktiga. Bröstcancer och övervikt har många gemensamma riskfaktorer och fetma är i sig är en riskfaktor för att utveckla bröstcancer. Även om de kliniska sambanden är tydliga saknas biologiska förklaringsmodeller till hur systemiska och lokala effekter av fetBreast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide with a steady increase in the number diagnosed. Comparable to this increased incidence, obesity is a pressing public health concern and the positive association between a more obese body constitution on breast cancer risk has convincingly been demonstrated. Obesity associated alterations in circulating lipids/cholesterol might partly link

The overall goal of our research unit is to understand metabolic control of insulin secretion and why it fails in type 2 diabetes (T2D). In recent years, this has meant that we have used information from GWAS (Genome-wide association study) to direct our efforts towards the genes which are actually linked to the development of the disease. To reach this overarching goal, we have worked along tw

Genom att kombinera kunskapen från kliniskt aktiva läkare och forskare tror vi att vi snabbt och effektivt kan få kunskap om de spektrala egenskaperna hos hudcancer och jättecellartrit och översätta detta till avbildningsverktyg för detektion av tumörgränser och diagnostik. Genom att mäta blodflöde under och efter periorbital rekonstruktiv kirurgi strävar vi efter att uppdatera kirurgiska teknikerBy combining the knowledge of clinically active medical doctors and researchers we believe that we can rapidly and effectively gain knowledge on the spectral properties of skin cancer and giant cell arthritis and translate this into imaging tools for tumor border outlining and diagnosis. Through monitoring of blood flow perfusion during and following periorbital reconstructive surgery we aim to up

Maligna lymfom är tumörer utgående från immunsystemet. De innefattar ca 50 olika undergrupper med vitt skilda kliniska förlopp. Målet för vårt arbete är att förbättra överlevnad och livskvalitet för patienter med maligna lymfom, också med hänsyn tid långtidseffekter av behandling, samt att förbättra metoder för diagnostik och prognostik för dessa sjukdomar. Vår grupp har sedan många år bedriviThe area of research for our group is malignant lymphomas – aiming for the improvement of the quality of life and survival of these patients. The paradigm behind most of current health care is evidence –based medicine. The evidence basis is primarily derived from clinical trials, but data can also be extracted from alternate sources such as national or regional data registries. The objective of ou

Projektet rör nyanlända personers rättsliga och ekonomiska status från uppehållstillstånd till medborgarskap. Ett exempel är en undersökning av hur försörjningskravet vid anhöriginvandring tillämpas vid svenska migrationsdomstolar. I domstolarna diskvalificeras vissa beteende vid tillämpning av försörjningskravet. Vidare har gruppers erläggande av skatter och mottagande av bidrag studerats för att
