Current research interests centre for primary health care research (CPF) laboratory
CPF experimental research laboratory is part of Center for primary health care research (https://www.skane.se/en/about-us/research/for-dig-som-forskar/center-for-primary-health-care-research/molecular-family-medicine-laboratory/). It was established with a goal to understand the pathophysiology of common diseases diagnosed in primary health care and to develop diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for risk assessment and prevention of chronic diseases, commonly diagnosed in primary health care.
Research focus
Our focus is mitochondrial genetic and epigenetic changes, their interaction with nuclear genome, and mitochondrial dysfunction in chronic diseases and aging.
The goal of our research is to identify diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for common chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, type 2 diabetes mellitus; mental disorders etc. We use clinical samples such as serum/plasma, biopsies and whole blood for analysis and large databases, which include clinical information on patients.
MSc students
We often have thesis projects for master’s students within the projects conducted in our group. Please, contact Ashfaque Memon (Ashfaque.memon@med.lu.se) or Kristina Sundquist (kristina.sundquist@med.lu.se) or Xiao wang (xiao.wang@med.lu.se) for more details.
