Description
A significant part of diabetes research at Lund University is conducted within EXODIAB, which is a strategic research area (SRA) in Sweden. Within EXODIAB, Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC) and Uppsala University work closely together.
Research
Researchers at LUDC conduct experimental basic research in modern laboratories, study people's lifestyles, and conduct clinical trials involving patients. The long-term goal is to prevent and cure diabetes as well as improve the treatment of the disease and its complications. Read about the strategic research area on lunduniversity.lu.se.
