Welcome to Krefting Research Centre! Here we conduct allergy and respiratory research.

Our mission is to understand the epidemiology and pathophysiology of asthma and improve asthma management. The Krefting Research Centre was founded in 2008 and has a primary financial support from VBG Group’s principal owner Herman Krefting Foundation for Allergy and Asthma Research. We are a part of the Institute of Medicine at the University of Gothenburg.
