About Lund University Diabetes Centre LUDC

Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC) is a research centre dedicated to unravelling the mechanisms behind diabetes and its complications. Our vision at LUDC is to improve patient stratification and to undertake innovative translational studies that lead to better prevention and management of diabetes and its complications through precision diabetes medicine. At LUDC, more than 300 people work in a vibrant research environment consisting of more than 30 research groups. Our scientists work within the Lund University strategic research area EXODIAB (Excellence of Diabetes Research in Sweden). EXODIAB is a joint strategic diabetes research initiative at Lund University and Uppsala University. Within the framework of EXODIAB, our scientists look for new treatments and drugs to prevent, delay, or cure diabetes. The research teams also work towards developing personalised care and treatment for patients with diabetes. Various fields of research are integrated within clinical studies and population studies (epidemiology), and platforms for collaboration between academia and industry are created. LUDC is dedicated to translational research, and the centre seeks to translate scientific discoveries into practice. LUDC-IRC, Industrial Research Centre for personalised medicine in diabetes, was established in 2017, with support from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) and financial and in kind contributions from industrial partners and Region Skåne. LUDC-IRC focuses on the identification of targetable mechanisms and pathways underlying diabetes and its complications, as well as on the discovery, validation and clinical implementation of prognostic, predictive and safety biomarkers related to diabetes.
