Youth Climate Mobilisation in Swedish Politics: Building an Inclusive and Sustainable Democracy
Recent years have seen an upsurge of climate mobilization by children and youth globally as well as in Sweden.Yet, while children and youth activists have become the front figures...
The economic importance of interactions between different pollinator species: giving order to biodiversity ~ ecosystem service relationships
This project investigates the importance of wild pollinator diversity for agricultural strawberry production in order to strengthen our understanding of how the stability of biodiv...
Large, unexpected greenhouse gas emissions from the wastewater treatment sector that are not accounted for by present emission factors
We have successfully developed three novel measurement methods for the potent greenhouse gases methane and nitrous oxide, for mapping and visualization over large surfaces (hypersp...
Autophagy-based improvement of productivity, quality and resilience in potato
Potato is the world’s most important non-cereal staple crop and a major source of starch for industrial food and non-food applications.To fully realize its potential for food secur...
Using impure altruism to promote pro-environmental behavior
To promote more sustainable lifestyles, it is vital to understand what motives drive pro-environmental acts among individuals and households. Our proposed project studies one such...
Bacterial Breaching of a Physiologically Arranged Intestinal Epithelial Barrier
Gut bacterial infections – caused by e.g. Salmonella, Shigella and Campylobacter species – impose a major global health burden. The impact is predicted to increase further, due to...
Impact of location and genetics on human virus-specific CD8+ T cell differentiation and function
CD8+ T cells are critical to generate immunity to most viral infections.Studies of human blood have been instrumental to advance our understanding of how CD8+ T cells function and...
Towards a pREcision medicine Approach to Target Alzheimer´s Disease and Related Dementias (TREAT-ADRD)
Due to global aging, Alzheimer´s disease and related dementias (ADRD) are increasing in the population.No disease-modifying treatment currently exists, but recent advances in the f...
Blue mussels in natural and artificial habitats: ecological, genetic and managerial consequences of interactions among subpopulations
Blue mussels, Mytilus spp., are important components of benthic communities in sedimentary and rocky habitats as well as artificial habitats along the Swedish coastlines.Despite th...
The environmental afterlife of the Suez Canal: Marine species transformation and biodiversity in the Mediterranean Sea
The Mediterranean Sea is undergoing an unmatched species transformation, due to a species influx enabled by successive dredging of the Suez Canal. So far, 350 tropical species have...
Dynamics, diversity and ecology of mould growth in buildings – creating knowledge to improve assessment of mould damage.
When there is moisture in a building, there is a risk of mould. Mould- and moisture damage is a societal problem with high economic and health costs. An important task to achieve a...
Biomimetic sensors for monitoring of Norovirus and SARS-C ov-2 genetic variants in water
In this project, we intend to develop sensitive, robust and low-cost sensors and affinity reagents for the analysis of waterborne viruses in waste- and raw- water.The approach is b...
Revealing the Mechanims of Elastic Dosage Compensation
Correct balance of gene expression dosage is vital for normal cell function and homeostasis.Chromosomal copy number variation (CNV) results in imbalance of hundreds of genes in a s...
Wild resources and predictions for strawberry production in light of climate change and global pollinator decline
Strawberry is by far the most important soft fruit crop in Sweden.This project addresses three specific threats that climate change and the current global pollinator decline raise...
Will ocean acidification cause a large-scale loss of habitat-forming brown seaweeds?
Brown seaweeds are the largest and most complex group of marine macroalgae.They form underwater forests that are biodiversity hotspots and they provide ecosystem services with imme...
Intrisnsic muscle weakness - an overlooked comorbidity in need of molecular insight
Intrinsic muscle weakness (i.e., weakness without loss of muscle mass) is a comorbidity afflicting many patients including cancer, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and cardiovascular dise...
Mechanism and targeting of topoisomerase regulatory interactions to arrest MYC-driven tumors
Inhibitors of DNA topoisomerases (TOPs, TOP1 and TOP2) are mainstays of anticancer therapy. While they have proven effective, the toxicity of current TOP drugs in non-cancer cells,...
Nociceptor neurons stop anti-tumor immunity
Pain is a common feature of various cancers. Cancer cells actively secrete factors promoting the neuronal infiltration of tumors.Stopping the electrical signals of tumor-infiltrati...
Decarbonized and circular paint-shop
Purpose and goal:Volvo CE has clear goals to achieve a more energy-efficient, circular and sustainable paint shop through their work with SBTi. The primary focus areas of this proj...
Navigating Places, Negotiating Boundaries: A Multidisciplinary Study of Migrant Children’s Educational Transitions in Sweden
The purpose of this research environment grant is to generate long-standing empirical and theoretical knowledge about how educational transitions are shaped by boundaries and place...
