The Authoritarianism-Pandemic Nexus in Cambodia: Prospects for social, economic and political inclusion in a post-pandemic world
The Covid-19 pandemic has arrived during a global rise in authoritarian government.It is necessary to evaluate measures to curb the pandemic not only in terms of saving lives and p...
Deciphering the genetic control of early flowering and growth behaviour in faba bean (Vicia faba): Development of high-precision markers for increased yield of a protein crop for Sweden
To achieve an environmentally sustainable and resilient food production in Sweden there is today a great need for an increased availability of protein from domestically produced cr...
NeuroFood: Optimizing health effects of Swedish berries on the brain through food processing
The main goal of the proposed project is to optimize health effects of Swedish berries on the brain through food processing.The project is based on results from my previous FORMAS...
The corticostriatal system in health and disease
The purpose of this proposal is to improve our understanding of how different parts of the cerebral cortex interact with each other and with basal ganglia circuits to generate purp...
Let’s get physical: Improving life-long participation in health-promoting levels of physical activity after musculoskeletal injury .
The overall aim is to facilitate life-long participation in health-promoting levels of physical activity after musculoskeletal injury.It is a continuation of a VR-funded project.Wo...
Functional decoding of genetic factors underlying diabetes by use of stem cells
Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is a multifactorial disease, involving common genetic variants. Most risk alleles compromise β-cell function and insulin secretion. However, the actual genes...
Exploring redox enzymes for optimized biomass conversion
Efficient depolymerization of biomass is fundamental for the use of non-fossil carbon sources in fuels and chemicals.Recently, the research on biomass conversion was boosted by the...
Haemoglobin, globin and iron in preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction
Preeclampsia (PE) is a severe pregnancy condition that affects ~8.5M women worldwide annually.The aetiology of PE is poorly understood, and its diagnosis is currently based on mate...
Decoding the Heterogeneity and Regulation of Cancer Metabolism.
A defining hallmark of cancer is an altered metabolism which is critical to support a rapid proliferation. However, the cancer metabolism also differs not only from individual to i...
Investing molecular mechanisms that link DNA repair deficiency and immune response in triple negative breast cancer
Breast cancer is the most frequent malignancy in women. Improved clinical management and targeted therapeutics have dramatically improved patient outcome in the disease. But not fo...
Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Spinal Cord and Vertebral Column Development during Embryogenesis
Purpose of the proposed study is to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive and regulate formation of the spinal cord and vertebral column during embryogenesis u...
Translational studies of short stature and skeletal disorders
Only a minority of children who seek medical attention for short stature can be given a precise mechanistic diagnosis such as growth hormone deficiency. More often the term “idiopa...
Improved potato cultivation on northern latitudes by early tuberization and maturation
The aim of the project is to improve the competitiveness of potato cultivation on northern latitudes with long days and shorter growing season by improving early tuberization and f...
Plant autophagy for sustainable agriculture
Improving sustainability of agriculture is one of the most important and challenging tasks facing humanity.Growing population of the planet puts an increasing demand on the food su...
Misconduct and Whistleblowing in Political Parties
Our aim is to identify and examine the mechanisms of whistleblowing in political parties.Whistleblowing, understood as insiders’ disclosure of illegal, immoral, or illegitimate pra...
Conservation of unique ecosystems in large northern lakes
The biodiversity crisis is emerging as one of humanities existential risks, and there is a desperate need for increased and more efficient conservation efforts.Preliminary research...
Beyond “unprepared”: Towards an integrative expertise of drought
The overarching hypothesis of this project is that the understanding of preparedness is fundamentally transformed in the era of Anthropocene.In Sweden, recent events such as the co...
A self-healing brain for neurological disorders - turning glia cells into interneurons
Neurological disorders such as schizophrenia and epilepsy are linked to damage of inhibitory parvalbumin (PV) interneurons.There are indication that interneuron restoration could c...
Sustainable poverty alleviation at the intersection of agricultural dynamics and farmers decision making
With over 80% of the extremely poor being dependent on agriculture for their livelihood, alleviating poverty while promoting sustainable agriculture is one of the imperatives for...
Physiological and pathophysiological actions of androgens in the cardiovascular system
Despite a strong male preponderance in cardiovascular disease, actions of androgens (“male” sex steroids, e.g. testosterone, mainly acting via the androgen receptor; AR) are poorly...
