Resolving the structure of the ´eyes´ of plants.
All plants constantly adapt to sunlight, regulating their growth, development, and reproduction.The response is enabled by phytochrome proteins, which detect red and far-red light...
Highly accurate spectral photon counting CT for improved cancer diagnosis
Cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality with an expected 10 million deaths annually.A very widely used imaging modality for diagnosing cancer is x-ray computed tomography...
Efficient proofs and computations: a unifying approach
Computational complexity developed greatly since the 1970s and now spans all aspects of efficient computation from analysing concrete applied problems to some of the deepest mathem...
CASSAVANET4DEV: In a race to prevent hunger: Cassava Bioinformatics for African cassava biotechnology.
In sub-Saharan Africa almost 25% were estimated to be undernourished, representing almost one third of people suffering from hunger globally.Cassava, with its resilience to heat an...
LINKING ISLET CELL FUNCTION TO SINGLE CELL TRANSCRIPTOMICS IN TISSUE TO IDENTIFY MOLECULAR MARKERS OF DIABETES
Single-cell RNA sequencing gives access to virtually every transcript in a cell, allowing us to monitor cellular states and cell identities.However, methods to simultaneously profi...
Facial Analysis in the Era of Mobile Devices and Face Masks
We address the challenge of reliable analysis of facial images when the ocular region is the only visible part.Occlusion may appear in unconstrained environments, but it is now an...
Driving forces and role of the formation of stable membrane vesicles in cells
Membrane vesicles involved in molecule trafficking are fundamental to maintain cellular homeostasis.In contrast to the well-known clathrin-coated vesicles responsible for intracel...
Exploring compact objects through X-ray polarimetry
In this project proposal, new insights are sought on celestial compact objects, including mass-accreting neutron stars and black holes, as well as pulsars, through the novel techni...
Tailored Magnesium-based Alloys for Bone Replacement - Metallic glass-forming composites enabled by additive manufacturing
Additive manufacturing (AM), or 3D-printing, has enabled production of complex structures, and in orthopaedics, the provision of patient-specific implants. Here, satisfactory solut...
Structure and mechanisms of ion-exchange
Na+/H+ exchangers catalyse an ion-exchange mechanism that is carried out in most, if not all cells.SLC9B2, also known as NHA2, correlates with the long-sought after sodium/lithium...
Dynamic variants: Determining the evolutionary significance of chromosomal inversions
Inversions are large-scale structural mutations that may encompass hundreds of genes but segregate together as a single unit due to suppressed recombination, allowing them to funct...
Biophysical investigation of the mechanisms behind pore-formation by amyloid-β peptides in biomembranes
The amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide spontanously self-assembles into various aggregates with neurotoxic properties.Our aim is to characterize the early aggregation events, and how they are...
Exploring the use of Fermi problems to elicit students´ and pre-service teachers´ intercultural awareness in mathematics classrooms
This workshop explores the use of so-called Fermi problems (FPs) to elicit students´ and pre-service teachers’ intercultural awareness (ICA) in mathematics classrooms.FPs are conte...
Drug design in the chemical space beyond the ¨rule of 5¨
Discovery of oral drugs that reach intracellular, difficult-to-drug targets is a daunting task.We have revealed that such drugs are often found in the uncharted chemical space beyo...
Graphene oxide coated glass fibres for enhanced composite properties (GO-FRP)
Purpose and goal:The project succeeded in creating FRP coupons with GO-modified fibre surface. The GO-modification facilitate good wetting of the commercial fibres without any pre-...
Topological interactions: Understanding viscoelasticity on the nano-scale
Polymers exhibit complex flow properties. One example is the pronounced non Newtonian behavior or in other words the change in viscosity with shear rate.The distinctive changes in...
Search for new neutral particles with the IceCube neutrino telescope
IceCube at the South Pole is the largest neutrino telescope in operation. Its main aim is to study the high-energy neutrino sky, but it can also address fundamental physics topics....
Artificial Plant Cells and Beyond
Synthetic plant biologists combine engineering with biology to build, modify and increase the fundamental understanding of plant machineries.The entire body of plants are highly co...
Förbättra livsmedelssäkerhet genom jordbruk innovationsplattformar, växtförädling och agronomisk interventioner för att förbättras durra mot Striga resistens i Sudan
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is an important staple food crop that plays a vital role in improving household food security in Sub-Saharan Africa.Unfortunately, biotic and abiotic stre...
Collegial Planning and Preparation as Subject-didactical School Improvement
Planning and preparation (PaP) are vital for high-quality teaching and thus for student learning. Nevertheless, the infrastructure to support teachers´ PaP is often poorly develope...
