Microvascular dysfunction as a predictor of cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death globally and although that cardiovascular (CV) mortality has decreased over the last 10-years it remains a major thre...
The source of dietary protein matters: plant-based proteins contributing to a healthy and sustainable diet – metagenomic and metabolomics approaches for human biomarkers identification
A food system enabling the achievement of a more environmentally sustainable diet demands a shift in consuming less animal and more plant-based protein.The impact of plant-based pr...
Towards sustainable and resilient farming systems in the Sahel. A combined remote sensing crop modelling approach
This research project aims to contribute to the efforts of eradicating hunger in a changing climate through sustainable agricultural intensification in the Sahel.It intends to inve...
Strengthening the research area of applied ethics
The Center for Applied Ethics at Linköping University is planning a workshop with the overall aim of strengthening the research area of applied ethics by gathering researchers in...
Mapping the neural and computational traces of lack of controllability and their relevance for depression
Stress is an established risk factor of depression, but we lack a mechanistic understanding of how stress leads to depression. Crucially, the impact of stress is dependent on wheth...
Uniting the micro- and macrobiome
Our overarching aim is to integrate microorganisms within our classical view of natural food webs.For this, we have to link studies on the micro- and macrobiome across spatial and...
Uncovering ion transporters important for photosynthetic function
The overall objective is to identify chloroplast ion transporters involved in the regulation of photosynthesis in plants and microalgae.Research on this topic is important because...
Mechanistic principles of methylmercury formation in anaerobe microbial biofilms
The global spread of mercury (Hg) is a major threat to ecosystem viability and human health, mainly due to microbially mediated formation of methylmercury (MeHg). This neurotoxic f...
Illuminate: provably good algorithms for guarding problems
In the project “Illuminate: provably good algorithms for guarding problems” we study visibility based problems--specifically those, where several stationary or mobile guards need t...
Organizing and managing quality- and improvement work in local education authorities
Developing schools is a shared responsibility between local education authorities (LEAs) and principals in local schools.However, as research about the Swedish school system mainly...
Prey requirements of the world’s seabirds
Seabirds are the most threatened group of birds. Fisheries targeting their prey is one of their main threats. Meanwhile, scientific knowledge on seabirds´ prey requirements is gene...
Association between lower urinary tract symptoms and psychiatric comorbidities in children and adolescents
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) frequently co-occur with anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).However...
Crust, Core and Collision – Unraveling the evolution of differentiated asteroids
The main aim of the proposed project is to improve our understanding of the formation, collisional evolution and cooling history of large differentiated asteroids, which in turn wi...
Mirror symmetry at genus one
The study of mirror symmetry is a central theme in modern algebraic geometry.It was conceived by string theorists some 40-years ago via mirror pairs of six dimensional geometries a...
The politics of state-building: Studying investments in state capacity through legislative debates
Why are some states better able to raise taxes, control their territory, and provide public services to their population?Research on this topic has focused on the impact of large-s...
Mapping the geographies of early modern mining knowledge. A digital history of the foreign study tours of the Swedish Bureau of Mines’s, 1691–1826
Early modern mines were like subterranean roots from which fiscal-military states drew military, economic, and scientific power.To improve this vital trade, fledgling European mini...
The origin of Sámi taxation lands: Land allocation, cultural resilience and external powers 1000-1800 AD.
The project aims to gain new knowledge about the origin and early development of the designated resource areas known as the Sámi taxation lands (sw. lappskatteland), used by the Sá...
Vascular dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and dopamine loss - a chain of events underlying cognitive decline in aging?
Cognitive decline and dementia compromise health for a great number of older individuals, and come with massive medical costs.One of the most acknowledged theories in cognitive neu...
The interplay between immune cell metabolism and plaque inflammation in atherosclerosis
Cellular metabolism and immune responses are known to be tightly intertwined, although the details are just beginning to be uncovered.Our research is focused around one central ide...
Type four pilus: RNA-mediated antigenic variation and repression of assembly
Many bacterial pathogens express Type four pili (Tfp) on their surfaces, exerting diverse functions such as twitching motility and DNA uptake.The Neisseria meningitidis (meningococ...
