About this group
Group information
Our research group wants to improve the lives of sick children. We do this by researching diseases that affect children and adolescents, from their causes, how they can be prevented, best diagnosed and treated to the short- and long-term consequences of the diseases. We study, among other things, fetal growth, the sick newborn, bladder and bowel dysfunction, growth and puberty disorders, heart disease and diabetes mellitus. Increased knowledge about how acute and chronic diseases in children and adolescents can be prevented and better treated is of great importance for both the development of medical knowledge and for society at large – children are our future! The goal of the research is to, with the best interests of the child in mind, contribute important pieces of the puzzle that advance the frontier of knowledge regarding diseases that affect children and adolescents.
