Hunting down and TRAPing appetite neurones
In this project we have an unprecedented opportunity to interrogate the brain´s appetite ensembles - those culprit neurones contributing to eating disorders and obesity development...
Dynamic pathways of cardiovascular, social and behavioral risk factors in cognitive aging
Effective treatments of late-life cognitive impairment and dementia are currently unavailable, stressing the need for preventive strategies. Evidence suggests old-age cognitive abi...
Private providers in active labor market policy: effects and mechanisms
Research problemsGetting the unemployed back to work is a key challenge for societies around the world.Traditionally, public authorities have provided the support, but recently pri...
Illuminating the origin and consequences of genomic structural variation in cancer
Structural variants (SVs) are a pervasive trait of cancer genomes but their origin, evolution, and clinical impact remain poorly understood.In this project, I aim at unraveling the...
Cell therapy for the recovery of damaged donor lungs for transplantation
Lung transplantation faces two unresolved challenges: the inadequate number of transplantable donor organs and the low survival rate in recipients who do receive a graft. Consequen...
Regulatory properties of NK cells in solid tumors
Due to their important role to eradicate tumors, natural killer (NK) cells are increasingly utilized in cancer immunotherapy.While the infusion of NK cells shows clinical benefit i...
ASPECT Trial: Att bedöma socialt skydd i Vietnam för att eliminera katastrofala kostnader in tuberkulos
Tuberculosis (TB) is a public health threat that disproportionately affects the world’s poor.Social and economic barriers impede access to TB care, disrupt treatment adherence, and...
Exercise Training among Children with Cerebral Palsy to Increase Health and Wellbeing
The purpose of the Exercise Training Effects among Children with Cerebral Palsy (ExTraChild) research project is to develop, evaluate and implement optimal, personalised exercise s...
The role of gene silencing for maintenance of differentiated dopaminergic and serotonergic neuronal identity and function in healthy aging and disease
How stable silencing of alternative gene programs is maintained once a neuronal identity has been established remain largely unexplored.A central question is if repression of genes...
The Struggle for Influence: Gender and Sexual Equality Policymaking at the European Union
Research problem and specific questionsThis project investigates the European Union’s (EU) policymaking regarding intimate citizenship issues – i.e., the set of social policies con...
Tau pathology in Alzheimer´s - understanding pathophysiology through biomarkers in blood and CSF
Tau pathology is key in Alzheimer´s disease (AD), and plasma pTau shows great promise as easily accessible blood biomarkers.This project builds on generating further knowledge on t...
Metal-organic framework-based CO2 reduction catalysis in electrocatalytic devices for sustainable methanol and ethylene production
Carbon dioxide capture and utilization is one of the key technologies to decrease CO2 emissions and to minimize our climate footprint.At the same time, large scale point source emi...
An integrated systems approach to decipher cell-level gene-regulatory circuits necessary for developing precision medicine for cardiometabolic disorders and coronary artery disease
Traditional research approaches of complex traits like cardiometabolic disorders (CMDs) and coronary artery disease (CAD) suffer from being too candidate gene- or pathway-focused,...
Breeding for Boundaries: using specific and general quantitative disease resistance to control compartmentalization of necrotrophic stem decay pathogens in breeding
This study aims to contribute new understanding of quantitative disease resistance (QDR) in Norway spruce (spruce) to support resistance breeding in Sweden. QDR is the dominating f...
Plasmid copy number control in bacterial pathogenesis and antibiotic resistance
Plasmids in Enterobacteriaceae often encode virulence determinants and multi-antibiotic resistance that contribute to the fitness of bacteria during infection.We previously demonst...
Work från home - legal challenges for work environment and insurance protection
Research problem and specific questionsThe pandemic has resulted in a new organization of work, with both work from home and workplace presence. The division leads to new challenge...
Elucidating the evolutionary history of small intestine neuroendocrine tumors
Small intestine neuroendocrine tumor (SI-NET), the most common cancer of the small bowel, has several unusual properties, including multifocality (multiple clustered tumors), low m...
Student funding, welfare, and participation in higher education
Research problem and questionsStudent funding policy determines to what extent the state, families and students are responsible for covering study costs, which include tuition fees...
Effects of early-life exposure to common food and drinking water contaminants on child health and development
Early life development is highly dependent on adequate nutrition, but also susceptible to toxic insult.Toxic metals, such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, manganese, and methylmercury (a...
Increasing immunotherapeutic efficacy through manipulation of hypoxic response
In this project we will build on the previous support we have received from Vetenskapsrådet that has allowed us to establish that increasing the capacity for hypoxic response in cy...
