Transforming blood collection practice in laboratory animals with next generation microsampling technology
Modern bioanalytical techniques are extremely sensitive and require very small sample volumes for analysis.This spurred new sampling methods referred to as microsampling techniques...
Loss of ribosome specialization in skeletal muscle as a contributing factor for pathophysiology in Duchenne Muscular dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common form of muscular dystrophy with no effective treatment.In this project I propose to test a novel hypothesis that the loss of ri...
The development and function of effector and memory CD4 T cells during infection
Viruses represent the most common cause of acute respiratory inflammation and gastroenteritis in humans and are responsible for substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide.T cell...
Towards defeating a global killer – evolution, host-adaptation and transmission dynamics of pathogenic Escherichia coli
Escherichia coli (E. coli) cause a range of diseases and with rising levels of antibiotic resistance is considered a global health threat to humans and animals.Adhesion is a key fa...
Discovering and exploiting the molecular basis of microbial warfare
Bacteria have evolved many ingenious defences against attack by viruses (phages).Probably the most well-known mechanisms involve degradation of phage nucleic acids to protect the h...
The Role of Christianity for the Emergence of Rabbinic Judaism
The study’s aim is to explore the role of Jesus-oriented groups (“Christians”) for the emergence of rabbinic Judaism during the 2–4th centuries CE.Social identity and social confli...
Recovering diversity in salmon populations and cultures of fishing: the subarctic River Teno basin as a confluence and a Living Lab
The project aims to support collaborative governance (Umu) for the recovery of a diverse Atlantic salmon complex, with a special emphasis on developing population-specific, target-...
Aquatic fungal biodiversity: developing knowledge and strategies to inform conservation priorities and measures
Aquatic fungi (AF) ensure the health, function, and resilience of freshwater and estuarine ecosystems.Yet, their biodiversity is overlooked and largely unknown and they are exclude...
Criminal careers from adolescence to retirement age in individuals with experience of out-of-home care: prevalence, patterns and intergenerational associations.
Individuals with experiences of the child welfare system, here covering both foster-family and residential care (out-of-home care/OHC), are more engaged in criminal behavior compar...
Preserving the natural heritage of wolves: a multidisciplinary approach towards effective and socially acceptable management of wolf-dog hybridization across Europe
Anthropogenic hybridization (AH) is an increasing concern for global biodiversity conservation.AH that involves domesticated animals, artificially selected for a suite of genetical...
Reconciling fragmented and contested landscapes
RECONNECT focuses on the connections and, in particular, the disconnect of biodiversity conservation from other aspects of contemporary landscapes and societies. Fragmentation, con...
Marine sponge biodiversity from genes to ecosystems: delivering knowledge and tools for sustainable management and conservation
Sponges (phylum Porifera) are widely distributed across the oceans and form highly-structured habitats (sponge grounds, gardens and reefs) that play key functional roles and delive...
Identifying effective management strategies for enhancing trans-national metapopulation protection of the Arctic Fox in mainland Europe
The tundra ecosystem is exposed to the fastest climate change within Europe, where fragmentation of tundra habitats is a major threat that accelerates the extinction risk of native...
Biospheres as Effective Conservation Measures
Unescos Biosphere reserves (BRs) are role models and learning sites for combining biodiversity conservation and human development and have been exploring methods since the programm...
New approaches in determining the impacts of chemical pollution to protect the biodiversity of the Baltic Sea
Several anthropogenic pressures threaten Baltic Sea biodiversity, and chemical pollution is one of the main threats.To achieve good environmental status (GES), the regulatory effor...
Prioritising riparian ecotones to sustain and connect multiple biodiversity and functional components in river networks
RIPARIANET will leverage high-resolution remote-sensing information to answer the questions: i) how can we remotely assess riparian integrity and identify areas which provide effec...
Just" conservation? Bridging values for equitable biodiversity governance
The protection of nature and reversal of biodiversity and ecosystem decline are core in the European Green Deal to support green recovery following Covid 19 and build societal resi...
Scenarios for protecting European avian redistributions
We will address three thematic priorities to mitigate future expected biodiversity (BD) losses: 1) identifying priority areas and gaps in protected area networks, 2) managing prote...
CLIMATE INVASIVES -Minimizing the negative effects of climate change-induced spread of invasive alien species to marine protected areas
Climate change leads to that the earth´s climate zones move towards the poles, which in turn leads to range shifts in many marine species and enables that alien species spread more...
Water intake and seasonal environmental stressors in cardiometabolic disease (WISECARD): identifying causes and opportunity for preventive intervention
Metabolic diseases are major health problems worldwide and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Several studies have observed marked seasonality of incident CVD and...
