Unit profile

Description

The Department of Laboratory Medicine is one of six departments at the Faculty of Medicine at Lund University. We conduct research and education in the field of laboratory medicine, focusing on understanding how diseases arise and how diagnostics and treatment can be improved for the benefit of the patients. We conduct research across a broad spectrum of medical disciplines with strong clinical connection. We also offer comprehensive postgraduate education and are an active participant in undergraduate and advanced level education, particularly in the medical program and the biomedicine program. Our research is characterised by close collaboration with healthcare providers, and several of our research environments are national leaders in their fields. We are also a key player in Lund University's strategic investment in stem cell research and play a central role in the development of advanced therapies (ATMP).
