Medical physics
The overall aim of our research is to develop and improve diagnostic tools and to improve therapy. The research is primarily focused on cancer, but also arthrosclerosis and heart failure are studied. Improving diagnosis is done by developing new applications and methods, and characterizing new parameters based on molecular and medical imaging.

Biological polymers
Mesoscale structure formation and interaction. Interactions and adoption of higher order organisation of biological macromolecules are of fundamental importance in maintaining biological function and technological exploitation.

Bionanotechnology
Bionanotechnology is a branch of nanotechnology which uses biological starting materials, utilises biological design or fabrication principles or is applied in medicine or biotechnology. Bionanotechnology has become an exciting field of research and an area of technology development, especially since the length scale nanotechnology can access more and more coincides with the length scale of basic biological structures and fundamental biological components.
