Pediatric brain tumor models (PDX) and treatment focusing novel targets as a complement to standard treatment
Swartling (IGP), Giraud, et al.
In preclinical models with xenografts, i.e. PDX or cell-lines, mice with implanted brain tumors can be treated with chemo- and/or radiotherapy or other novel targeted treatment to later be evaluated with CT, PET, MRI etc. The goal is that this information together with clinical information, with among other things sequenced tumor material, will lead to suggestions for individualized treatment.

Follow-up patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunts
Liminga, Ehrstedt, et al.
Children with hydrocephaly ofta receive a so-called ventriculoperitoneal shunt. Postoperative shunt monitoring within our region takes place through a detailed follow-up program, which is evaluated within the framework of this project.

Follow-up of patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension
Ehrstedt, Liminga, et al.
The care of children and adolescents with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is followed up within the framework of this project. We evaluate the investigation, treatment and follow-up of patients with IIH and investigate possible long-term side effects with the aim of optimizing the care provided today.

Research on neuromuscular diseases in children and adolescents
Ehrstedt, Wentzel, Gkiotsaliti, et al.
Opportunities for a faster, improved and more cost-effective diagnosis of neuromuscular diseases in children and adolescents are evaluated within the framework of this project.
