Department of Medical Sciences Annual Report 2014 Fastställd av Lars Rönnblom 2015-04-29 Introduction Following the trend from recent years, 2014 was also a positive year for the Department of Medical Sciences. The Department has continued to grow, both in staff and in revenues. The staff is now 210, and the Department has more than 300 associated co-workers at the Uppsala University Hospital, working in more than 20 different clinical specialities. The turnover has increased to 250 MSEK, and the external research funding to 170 MSEK which can be attributed to the sustained ability of the researchers at the Department to attract grants from e.g. the Swedish Research council, the Cancer Society, the Swedish Heart & Lung Foundation and from the EU. As two examples of large grants awarded, I would like to mention the 300 MSEK grant from the Heart &Lung foundation and Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.to Swedish CardioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS), coordinated by professors Lars Lind and Johan Sundström, and the 35MSEK grant to professor Agneta Siegbahn for “Biomarkers for Cardiovascular disease” from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research. In this context I also would like to mention the excellent services provided by the platforms hosted by the Department; the SNP&SEQ Technology platform and the Array and Analysis facility, and the two new platforms, Clinical Biomarkers, and In Vitro and Systems Pharmacology] The performance of the Department's research groups is also shown by the close to 650 peer reviewed publications during 2014, an increase with 10% from 2013, and by the 11theses produced during 2014. The theses presented represent all six research programs at the Department, namely Cancer, Cardiology and Clinical physiology, Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases, Epidemiology, Inflammation and autoimmunity, and Microbiology and Infectious diseases. Major research findings achieved during 2014 by researchers at the Department will be presented on the following pages. Teachers at our department are very active in many of the undergraduate programs at the Faculty of Medicine. Some 2000 students pass courses for which we are responsible every year. The department aims to provide a good environment for learning combined with education given at a high academic level. During 2014 a few persons retired after long and very successful careers. On behalf of the Department I would like to thank professor Eva Vingård for her many important contributions As a new head of the Department, I would like to thank my predecessor Eva Tiensuu Janson for performing such an excellent job during her years as head of IMV, which has been handled over to me in very good condition! Finally, I would like to conclude by thanking all personnel at the Department for their dedicated work during 2014.
