The focus area deals with various aspects of traumatology. Within clinical traumatology, research is conducted in epidemiology, clinical trauma care and patient outcomes, as well as military medicine. Experimental traumatology, on the other hand, focuses on developing new methods and technology for diagnosing, monitoring and treating traumatically injured patients, from the injury event, through the entire care chain. Projects in the focus area develop methodology for the treatment of acute and non-healing wounds, investigate new methods for skin transplantation and develop new technology for wound monitoring and prehospital diagnostics.
Coordinator for the focus area ‘Traumatology’ is
Dr. Johan Junker
