[13 Jul 2020] The individual mix of microorganisms in the human gastrointestinal tract provides vital clues as to how any future incidence of type 2 diabetes can be predicted, prevented and treated. This is demonstrated in a population study led from the University of Gothenburg.
[6 Jul 2020] When bedbound intensive care patients are moved within a hospital, the single most common risk factor is nonfunctioning technology and equipment. These transfers, a well-known moment of risk, have been studied in a University of Gothenburg thesis.
[2 Jul 2020] Vinnova, the national innovation agency, is investing an additional SEK 36 million in Genomic Medicine Sweden, the ambitious national collaboration: good news for GMC (Genome Medicine Center) West and the other regional centers in the country. The aims are to assist the further rollout of precision medicine in healthcare and promote new research and innovation collaborations among academia, industry and healthcare providers.
[18 Jun 2020] Certain patients who receive hospital care for coronavirus infection (COVID-19) exhibit clinical and neurochemical signs of brain injury, a University of Gothenburg study shows.

Research that makes an impactHere you will find international research at the upmost forefront. Examples of successful research areas are ageing, cancer, metabolism, neuroscience, obstetrics, odontology, vaccines and virology.
Historically our research has led to great success, for example dental implants, beta blockers for heart failure and the world's most sold pharmaceutical Losec. We are especially proud of our Nobel Prize Laureate Arvid Carlsson, who's discovery of the dopamine's important role in the brain was made in our campus at Medicinareberget.
