A new tool for precision agriculture: Plant Virus-like particles as Nano-carriers for targeted delivery of agrochemicals and biomacromolecules
The management of fungal diseases in agriculture often relies on the extensive use of fungicides resulting in the accumulation of harmful residues in the crop fields leading to env...
The complex mixture of Air Pollution and NOIse on adverse CARDIOvascular health (APNOI-CARDIO)
To meet the sustainable development goals (SDG) for “good health and well-being (SDG3)”, it is important to reduce the morbidity and mortality attributed to cardiovascular diseases...
Increasing the share of long-lifecycle wood products by extracting the value of data in the sawmill industry
Sweden’s forest industry plays a key role on the path to a circular bioeconomy, but of the annually harvested forest only about 20% are transformed into products (sawn timber) with...
Perspective on future diseases in NW Europe based on ancient animal pathogens during past climate warmings
Ongoing climate warming has already triggered a rise in some animal diseases on land, but what we do not know is whether the number of diseases – bacterial and viral – will increas...
PRECISION PUBLIC HEALTH: Shifting the focus from group averages to individual variations to better understand the distribution of Body Mass Index over time and across social and geographical contexts.
Research problem and specific questionsObesity is a major public health concern globally, also affecting Sweden.Improved analytical tools for the identification of high-risk groups...
Optimized dosing regimens for the combinations of sulfonamides and trimethoprim in veterinary medicine
Due to the pending constraints for veterinarians to use antibiotics critically important for human health in Europe, the relative use of first-line antibiotics such as the combinat...
Identification of a Novel non-antibiotic Bactericidal agent to fight antimicrobial resistance
To stem the ever-growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), our research focuses on non-antibiotic strategies to combat multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens.We have develope...
Drugs in the wild: Evaluating the impacts of pharmaceutical pollution in aquatic ecosystems, from individuals to animal communities
The increasing release of pharmaceutical pollutants into waterways is now a leading global threat to aquatic wildlife and ecosystems.Despite this, knowledge on the hazards that the...
Design and implementation of silver-based nanoparticles for combating antibiotic resistance
Rapid increase of resistant bacterial infections is a major public health threat. Hence exploration of alternative treatment including nanomaterial based therapeutic strategies is...
Psychosis early detection and intervention strategies in Sweden: Evaluating potential impact and developing predictive and prognostic models to aid implementation
Psychosis early detection and intervention (ED, EI) services aim to improve health and occupational outcomes by intervening during the early stages of illness.These services have r...
Lymphocyte repertoires in autoimmunity - dissecting rheumatic disease
The overall purpose of this project is to ‘finger print’ the immune reactions associated with autoimmune rheumatic diseases and use this knowledge for the development of novel and...
Maternal anemia and children’s risk of neurodevelopmental disorders: comparing molecular, genetic, environmental, and phenotypic data across studies to assess evidence for causality
Iron deficiency is common in pregnant women. If iron deficiency is severe, this can lead to anemia. However, anemia can also be caused by other problems, such as infections and dia...
Targeting three human pathogens that are lacking an essential enzyme
The pathogens Giardia intestinalis Borrelia burgdorferi and Trichomonas vaginalis cause giardiasis, borrelia and trichomoniasis, respectively.All three pathogens lack ribonucleotid...
Can microbial and dietary interventions in mother and child prevent allergy development?
The maternal microbial environment during pregnancy, the pioneer microbiome provided to the child during vaginal delivery and the early postnatal microbiota may crucially influence...
The underlying mechanisms of assembly and endophytic colonization of Fusarium species complex causing head blight disease on cereal
Cereal diseases are of major global concerns due to their significant impact on yield quality and quantity resulting in future food insecurity.Developing the disease resistant crop...
Musculoskeletal integrity in aging – detecting risk and protective factors in bone health and osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a global concern due to its clinical consequence, fracture, which results in pain, lost mobility and premature death.This proposal is driven by the challenge to pre...
Evidence over Conviction: Controlled studies of short- and long-term effects of psychoeducational interventions for trauma informed care to promote out-of-home cared children’s health and resilience
Background and AimTrauma-informed training for important caregivers is increasingly used internationally to promote the development and resilience of children in out-of-home care,...
Biased ligands and allosteric modulators of G protein-coupled receptors: novel approaches for treating inflammatory diseases
Phagocyte activation are critical determinants of effective host defense, but their activation has to be tightlyregulated to reduce collateral tissue damage during inflammation.Rec...
Evaluated by a robot – an experimental-ethnographic study of the automation of the recruitment process in a Swedish municipality
AI (artificial intelligence) is changing the way modern society functions in several domains.The automation of the assessment of individuals, such as in recruitment, has been ident...
Evaluation of implementation and effectiveness of neck-specific exercise for persistent disability and pain after whiplash injury; a randomized controlled study using a hybrid 2 design
Effective treatment in chronic whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) and non-specific neck pain has been lacking.There is growing evidence that neck-specific exercises (NSE) have a s...
