Pharmaceutical cellbiology

Description

The research area consists of four PI:s that work on different aspects of cell biology; development of novel molecular biology tools (professor Ola Söderberg), investigation of the role of vitamin D and other steroids in cell function (senior lecturer Maria Norlin), analysis of cell signaling in tumors (professor Johan Lennartsson) and the oncoprotein Myc (senior professor Lars-Gunnar Larsson) The research environment joins researchers with different expertize around a common goal: to understand the cell biology in health and disease, and to employ this knowledge for improved diagnostics and therapy. The unit works in close collaboration around four main projects: Method development, Vitamin D, Cell signaling and Myc.
