Virtual test bed for strategic urban and energy planning through integrated digital models
To achieve the energy transition required to reach the national and global climate goals, new and innovative energy system solutions are needed.At present, however, there is a stro...
First-line cryoablation for early treatment of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation – a randomized study comparing early trigger isolation using the Cryoballoon versus antiarrhythmic medication
Atrial fibrillation (AF) causes poor quality of life, stroke, hospitalizations and death. Antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD) are first-line therapy, albeit only 40% are free from AF after...
Physical exercise during neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer as a means to increase pathological complete response rates: the randomized Neo-ACT trial
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is increasingly used in breast cancer.The best proof of NACT efficacy is pathological complete response (pCR), i.e. the absence of invasive tumour o...
Developing methods for studies of Antarctic ice shelves with modern infrastructure
The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is considered the greatest remaining uncertainty for predicting future global sea level rise.It is drained by glaciers that terminate in the oce...
Next Generation Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries have since 2010 doubled in energy density and become 90%(!) cheaper by R&D advances and following Wright’s law.Today 350 GWh/y are produced, by 2030 2 TWh...
DeepTime Palaeogenomics - Tracing species evolution using ancient genomes sampled on a million-year time scale
Although ancient DNA has been highlighted as one of the most important scientific developments in recent years, due to its effectiveness in unlocking novel information about prehis...
Epigenetics for precision medicine and future therapies in type 2 diabetes
During 17-years, we have studied if epigenetics affect type 2 diabetes (T2D). We identified epigenetic changes (DNA methylation) in tissues from T2D patients versus controls. But t...
Stem cell-based treatments for Parkinson’s disease: Novel concepts and future therapies
Neurodegenerative diseases are debilitating conditions that result in dysfunction and loss of nerve cells.The brain has a very limited capacity for self-repair, and there is an unm...
Basic and Plastic Instincts : Brain Mechanisms of Adaptation in Innate Behaviours
Adaptation is a prerequisite for survival, at the species level, but also for the individual.Animals, including humans, have developed innate behaviours to ensure consistent, rapid...
Writing Visual Relations
The artistic research project Writing Visual Relations will investigate possibilities of writing about visual art.Through the literary mode of ekphrastic writing, the research will...
Maintaining the human mitochondrial genome
Mitochondria in eukaryotes constitute a dynamic network that is continuously fusing and dividing. This network is the main producer of cellular ATP, the energy currency used for a...
Conviviality and Contamination
The project is an experimental exploration of Conviviality (and Diversity) by means of Contamination.It involves literary writers and academic scholars with a strong South African...
Novel mechanisms restricting virus infection in the brain
A current dogma in immunology is that the first line of defense against virus infections is mediated by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which induce production of the antivir...
New Princes: Johan of Östergötland (1589–1618) and Archduke Charles of Austria (1590–1624)
The emergence of centralized states in seventeenth-century Europe is among the most significant developments in European history. It not only changed the role of rulers in Europe,...
Trust and Credibility through Standardization: The Accreditation of Crime Scene Work
How can expertise be trusted when it is too complex to be assessed and evaluated by its recipients?This project analyzes the process of striving to make the production of complex e...
Comprehensive mapping of metabolic perturbations in emerging and re-emerging RNA viruses for novel therapeutic approaches
Natural epidemics and outbreaks of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases are growing global problems and primarily attributed to the RNA viruses like SARS-CoV-2, Crimean Con...
Sharing land: Sami resource management before and under the early phases of settler colonization
This project aims to clarify how the indigenous Sami shared land and resources in the Swedish lappmarker from 1645, when there were almost no settlers, to 1845, when the Sami were...
Targeted therapies and treatment monitoring in FET sarcomas
Our overall objective is to improve treatments and the quality of life for patients suffering from the more than 25 forms of sarcomas that are characterized by FET (FUS, EWSR1, TAF...
Transnational civil society and foreign policy: The role of diasporas in comparative perspective
Civil society in European countries is becoming more diverse and transnational largely as a consequence of migration. Yet the significance of these changes on foreign policy is und...
Understanding and preventing NK cell-mediated lung tissue-damage upon severe respiratory viral infections
Severe respiratory viral infections are major morbidities worldwide as demonstrated by the current outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 as well as recurrent epidemics with influenza virus. Natur...
