Infection and Inflammation
Infections and inflammatory diseases represent major burdens to human health. We want to understand fundamental mechanisms through which infections and immune responses impact on health and disease.
What We Do
We work in different areas of infection biology, medicine and immunology studying a range of diseases. Examples are brain infection and inflammation, acute viral and bacterial infections, rheumatic disorders as well as cancer – noting that it has recently emerged that the immune system is also a player in several diseases not previously considered to be immune-related.
Who We Are
Our research theme hosts more than 15 groups and 50 PhD students and postdocs. Most groups collaborate with clinicians and the pharmaceutical sector.

Meet Professor Trine Mogensen
How can we gain insight into biological mechanisms in human immunity against infections and at the same time develop and improve patient care?
Meet Professor Christian Kanstrup Holm
How do biochemical mechanisms such as glycolysis and the Kreb´s cycle affect the interaction between virus and host?”
