Nurse Holding a Baby During Birth

Programme: Continuous lactate measurement and prevention of fetal hypoxia during labour and delivery

Current fetal monitoring methods have weaknesses and the researchers in this new programme aim to improve them to reduce…

Via 3D microscopy, the filtration structure of the kidney, the 200–500 nanometre wide podocyte foot processes, are visualised with light microscopy (left image). This enables simple automatic analysis and quantification of the health condition of the kidney (images right), with possible application within clinical renal diagnostics.

Programme: Optical 3D microscopy for more effective diagnosis of kidney diseases

Automatic image analysis of morphological changes will provide a faster, safer and quantitatively improved analysis of the development of…

Programme: Spectral CT-imaging and Endovascular Techniques

The purpose of the programme is to use technology to diagnose and treat cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, and cancer.
