Introduction. Medical education programs have increasingly included compulsory research skills components but rarely include explicit academic literacy instruction for medical research. This article presents results from a project that developed methods of bridging the gap between textbook literacy and scientific literacy in a setting where English coexists with the local language. Methods. A pape

Medicinsk strålningsfysik är ett tvärvetenskapligt ämne där man studerar, vidareutvecklar och tar fram nya tillämpningar av joniserande och icke-joniserande strålning och radioaktiva spårsubstanser för bästa möjliga användning inom hälso- och sjukvård och medicinsk forskning. Området har viktiga tillämpningar inom strålbehandling vid cancer samt när det gäller strålningsdiagnostik med hjälp av rönMedical Radiation Physics is an interdisciplinary subject, which is directed towards development and discovery of new knowledge for applications of radiation and radioactivity. Important fields of application are radiotherapy to treat cancer, radiation diagnostics using X-rays, computed tomography, nuclear medicine and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We mainly work on developing new methods for

Våra primära forskningsområden är strålterapi (RT), magnetresonanstomografi (MRI), experimentell röntgenavbildning (XRI) och nuklearmedicin (NM). Inom RT-fysikforskningen utvecklas individualiserad, adaptiv strålbehandling med hjälp av nya metoder för avbildning och rörelsehantering, baserat på fördjupad förståelse av klinisk dosimetri och strålningsbiologi. MRI-forskningen inkluderar utveckling aOur major research fields are radiation therapy (RT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), experimental x-ray imaging (XRI) and nuclear medicine (NM). Research in RT physics aims towards development of personalized, adaptive RT using multi-modality imaging and active motion management, building on improved understanding of clinical dosimetry and radiobiology. MRI research includes new measurement tec

Ageing of the world’s population has amplified neurodegenerative disorders, of which Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are most common dementias. Both disorders are characterized by abnormal aggregation of proteins in brain. The molecular mechanism (or mechanisms) leading to the abnormal accumulation of ggregation of proteins remains unknown. We want to understand why abnormal

För närvarande är fokus inriktat på utvecklingen av en ny teknik där järnoxid-nanopartiklar kan användas som kontrastmedel för ultraljud. Vi hoppas att tekniken skall kunna hjälpa till att ställa tidigare diagnoser vid exempelvis cancersjukdom, men också att kunna vara ett hjälpmedel för kirurger att lokalisera sjuk vävnad under operation. Bilden visar en ultraljudsbild av en lymfnod som tagit uppCurrently the focus is on the development of a novel technique where iron oxide nano-particles may be used as a contrast agent for ultrasound. We expect the technique to be useful to put an earlier diagnosis in diseases such as cancer, but also to be an aid for surgeons in localizing diseased tissue. The picture shows a grey scale ultrasound image of a lymph node where particles have been deposite

Avdelningen för medicinsk etik bildades 1991. Medicinsk etik ett tvärvetenskapligt forsknings- och undervisningsämne. Syftet med den medicinsk etiska forskningen är att från olika utgångspunkter (analytiskt, kritiskt och historiskt) studera medicinskt beslutsfattande och medicinsk forskning, både de som fattas av individen och på samhällsnivå. Under de drygt 30 år som avdelningen funnits har det The Unit of Medical Ethics at the Faculty of Medicine at Lund University was founded in 1991, the first of its kind in Sweden. Most of the members of the unit have a background in philosophy and/or medical or research ethics, but some of us also have qualifications in medicine, genetics, law, sociology, and political science. Our research interests include ethical aspects of stem cell research, i

I denna grupp ingår kliniska forskare inom främst områdena lymfom, sarkom och endokrina tumörer. Vår forskning är inriktad på kliniska prövningar, men även registerforskning, tumörbiologi och radiobiologi.This unit combines several areas within clinical oncological research, with a focus on lymphoma, sarcoma and endocrine tumours. This includes clinical trials, clinical epidemiology, and basic tumour biology and radiobiology.

Background: Geant4 is a Monte Carlo code extensively used in medical physics for a wide range of applications, such as dosimetry, micro- and nanodosimetry, imaging, radiation protection, and nuclear medicine. Geant4 is continuously evolving, so it is crucial to have a system that benchmarks this Monte Carlo code for medical physics against reference data and to perform regression testing. Aims: To

Institutionen för Experimentell Medicinsk Vetenskap har som uppgift att bedriva forskning på molekylär, cellulär och integrativ nivå rörande de livsprocesser som bestämmer kroppens funktion, normalt och vid sjukdom. Institutionen består idag av sex sektioner med unefär 60 forskargrupper och ca 350 medarbetare. Institutionen ska prestera forskning på högsta internationella nivå, utgöra en bas för Our mission is to perform molecular, cellular and integrative research at the highest international level and to train a new generation of successful scientists. We study biological processes that govern normal human bodily functions that are involved in disease pathogenesis. Several of our research environments have been recognized as outstanding both at the national and European levels. We also

Viruses are small parasites that infect living cells to multiply their genomes and to produce new virus particles. Understanding of viral replication and gene expression is of paramount importance to determine how viruses cause disease and for development of antiviral drugs. Research efforts in the group: Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) is a sexually transmitted virus. The infection is normal

The main objectives for Lindkvist laboratory are to make use of structural biology techniques, such as X-ray crystallography, and combine that with microscopy to reveal mechanisms of action in the metabolic systems in the human body. We have for many years been studying the role of bacterial toxins (superantigens) in the immune system, as well as the specificity of certain channels facilitating th
