2.11 Rheumatology
According to the description there are three main lines of research:
• Matrix biology.
• Systemic lupus erythematodes.
• Effects and side effects of the use of cytokine inhibitors.
All these topics are very interesting and important. The department has
an extensive network for collaboration including both other departments
within the university and centres all over the world. The number of
publications is very good. External funding is certainly acceptable for
a department like rheumatology. The staff has 4 members of the active
research staff. The professor and head is 50 years old. No data on age of
the other members have been given. The number of PhD students is good
as well as the number of graduates.
Overall rating: Very good
