State-of-Art Genomics to Reveal Mechanisms of Transcription at Genes and Enhancers in Health and Disease
Dynamic regulation of RNA polymerase at promoters and enhancers defines transcriptional programs and coordinates the establishment of cell types and cellular responses in heath and...
Synaptic remodelling during human skill learning
The remarkable ability to acquire skills, such as flying an airplane or playing a musical instrument, is the basis of humankind’s most impressive achievements.Researchers have long...
Eyewitness video and Human Rights Practice
The purpose of this research project is to provide a conceptually innovative and empirically-grounded understanding of the increasingly important interplay between eyewitness video...
Cyclic sensory loss and restoration: from neural mechanisms to perceptual functions
How our perception works is well explored, and yet we do not understand how the human brain accomplishes the high degree of plasticity demonstrated by our perceptual systems. Here,...
An advanced understanding of plateau icefield response to climate change through a novel combination of repeat drone and radar surveys
Glaciers are vital but vulnerable water resources, fulfilling both natural and anthropogenic water demands. Crucial to planning the sustainable use of water-supplying glaciers are...
Combining transcriptomics and behaviour assays to identify adapations of insects to shifts in ambient climate.
Insects have a significant role in maintaining the ecological balance of ecosystems and are part of the pollinator, pest and disease vector populations. As poikilotherm animals the...
Mapping the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from combustion and traffic related particulate air pollution
Air pollution and Particulate Matter (PM) is a global health concern. However, there is incomplete knowledge on relationships between sources, particle properties and health impact...
Epidemiology and pathophysiology of takotsubo syndrome
TS is a novel syndrome with a substantial mortality rate.It is probably the most common form of acute HF due to cardiomyopathy in Sweden, and it often occurs in patients with cance...
Tailoring a functional approach for identifying and mapping ecosystem services in running waters: Towards a national assessment
Practical approaches for assessment and mapping of ecosystem services (ES), a requirement for all EU member states, have been developed for terrestrial habitats but remain in their...
Microbes as biocontrols: The function and utility of root microbiomes for inducing herbivore defence in wheat of different origin under a changing climate
The overuse of insecticides has led to huge impacts on the environment and human health, including contaminated drinking water, declines in non-target organisms like birds, fish an...
Prefiguring sustainable food enterprises for sustainability education
This project will explore how prefiguring sustainable food enterprises can accelerate food system transformations towards sustainability. Prefiguration is the practice of attemptin...
Getting to the bottom - Minimising biocide emissions from antifouling paints on leisure boats and ships
Vessel hulls are commonly coated with biocidal antifouling paints to prevent the attachment of marine organisms and thus avoid an increased fuel consumption. The paints act by rele...
Turning back time for rivers: restoring river and wetland hydromorphic connectivity using a Stage 0 approach.
´Stage 0´ is the pre human disturbance state of rivers and a key goal of river restoration.Recent evidence demonstrates that for many rivers, Stage 0 is a multi-thread (anastomosin...
Feeling the heat(h): Can reindeer grazing stabilize soil organic matter in arctic and alpine tundra heath under climate warming?
Plants, microbes, and their interactions determine soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling and stocks.Climate warming is shifting plant and microbial communities in arctic and sub...
The big buzz: Characterizing long-term insect dynamics and insect population response to anthropogenic pressure using sedimentary DNA
Rapidly diminishing insect populations since the 1990s have made researchers believe that insects are subjected to a global mass extinction event.Anthropogenic stressors relating t...
Varieties of attitudes to family migration in Europe
Immigration is a controversial topic that attracts much public attention.That is why a lot of resources are poured into understanding how people reason about policies concerning, f...
Regularity theory for free boundaries and transmission problems
Our purpose with this project i twofold.First to bridge the regularity theory of the two directions of research, free boundaries (FB) and transmission problems (TP), whenever ap...
Familial forms of Alzheimer’s disease: Investigation of the novel APPAros mutation and continued development of CRISPR-based gene therapy
We have found several amyloid precursor protein (APP) and presenilin 1 (PSEN1) mutations causing familial Alzheimer’s disease (fAD).Such studies are central to the development of i...
Communications over bursty optical channels
Our modern society depends entirely on global networks for high-capacity data communications, in which almost all data is carried by optical fibers.Traditionally, the fiber links,...
Targeting adipose tissue-liver cross talk to combat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a prevalent liver disease that affects up to 2-6% of the general population and 15-40% of obese persons.NASH is characterized by steatosis,...
