Medical Biotechnology

Medical biotechnology is an application of biotechnology that improves the lives of individuals every day. In the medical biotechnology research group, we use state-of-the-art technologies to obtain knowledge applicable in the development of better diagnostics and therapeutics. In addition, we seek knowledge of fundamental biological systems, allowing a better differentiation between disease and normal human development and health.

Medical Biotechnology

Medical biotechnology is an application of biotechnology that improves the lives of individuals every day. In the medical biotechnology research group, we use state-of-the-art technologies to obtain knowledge applicable in the development of better diagnostics and therapeutics. In addition, we seek knowledge of fundamental biological systems, allowing a better differentiation between disease and normal human development and health.

Focus areas:

  • Aging and age related diseases​
  • Cardiovascular and heart diseases​
  • Cancer and circulating tumor cells​
  • Type 2 diabetes​
  • Pathological calcium signalling ​
  • Proteases and disease​
  • Cell and animal disease models​
  • Natural products, probiotics and microbiota

Vision

Our research is driven by the ambition of applying science to understand, prevent and treat human diseases.

Collaborations

Within the area of medical biotechnology we collaborate broadly with local and national institutions and experts. These include, but are not limited to, researchers from Faculty of Medicine, AAU and Aalborg University Hospital, Copenhagen University, Herlev Hospital, Danish Technical University, and Aarhus University. Internationally we collaborate with researchers all over the world including Japan, China, Australia, Europe and US.
