One of the ongoing research themes at the IIIEE Companies pursue sustainability in their business models for several reasons. Reasons could be that society increasingly demands this, that technology advances make it feasible or that socio-economic development patterns grow markets, to name just a few. As a result, many companies experiment with new business models that pursue resource-efficiency,

Olle Melander’s group Our researchWhen type 2 diabetes has been determined, a patient’s absolute risk of future cardiovascular disease events remains very high despite available preventive therapies. Thus, primary prevention of diabetes appears instrumental in reducing the population burden of diabetes-related cardiovascular disease. This group focuses on identifying mechanisms causally related to

Anna Blom’s group Our researchOur group focuses on the complement system, which is part of the immune system. The complement system contains more than 40 proteins that circulate in the blood and these proteins play an important role in the innate defense against pathogens, and in the removal of unwanted materials.Researchers have discovered that complement proteins also have other functions; one e

Isabel Gonçalves' group Our researchMany victims of heart attacks and stroke die before reaching the hospital. The most frequent cause of myocardial infarction and stroke is the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque with the subsequent formation of a thrombus that occludes the vessel. The rupture-prone plaques are called vulnerable plaques (VP), and usually have a large lipid and necrotic core, are

Isabella Artner’s group Our researchDiabetes results from loss or dysfunction of insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas. Despite insulin injection treatment, diabetic patients suffer from long-term complications, such as blindness and kidney failure. Therefore, a central goal of diabetes research is to regenerate pancreatic beta cells or produce large numbers of functional beta cells for tra
