Thoracic Mobility in Cystic Fibrosis Care
Bakgrund:Cystisk fibros (CF) är en obotlig ärftlig genetisk störning som i första hand påverkar luftvägarnas och mag-tarmsystemets slem som blir tjockare och segare än normalt. Sle...
Molecular patho-mechanism of biomass smoke induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among women: Population based- and in vitro exposure studies
Background: Biomass smoke (BMS) exposure is a risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the same order of magnitude as tobacco smoking. The use of biomass fue...
Immunological correlates of protection in COVID-19 disease and after COVID-19 vaccination
The newly emerged corona virus SARS-CoV-2 causing pandemic COVID-19 is still causing significant morbidity and mortality worldwide.An important question is what immunological respo...
Wuhan Interaction with Stockholm Evidence-based Research (WISER) project on health perspectives in the older population facing the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak
The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak severely affected the cities of Wuhan and Stockholm in 2020. The most affected was the old segment of the population, where thousands died in hospitals and...
Mucosal immunity against SARS-CoV-2 – an unexplored field
The role of mucosal immunity in COVID-19 has received little attention, despite the fact that SARS-CoV-2 enters the body through the respiratory and possibly, oro-gastrointestinal...
Speciation in action: divergent climate adaptation and genome clashes in hybrids
Climate adaptation should lead to coordinated changes in mitochondrial and nuclear (mitonuclear) DNA units, which underlay the biochemical machinery responsible for energy metaboli...
Fundamental aspects of peptide self-assembly
In this project we will address some fundamental aspects of peptide self-assembly.Particular research questions involve: (i) Kinetic versus thermodynamic stability and the proper i...
Developments for the theoretical description of X-ray spectroscopy of multinuclear catalysts and metalloproteins.
Oxygen evolution and nitrogen fixation are some of the most important chemical reactions, both in biology and in our society.As multinuclear transition metal complexes are the type...
Family and Childhood Development: A nationally representative longitudinal cohort study in a developing country setting
The central objective of our project is to build a network of researchers that can assist governmental and non-governmental agencies in low-income countries in the design of cost-e...

Troubling Testimonies. Knowledge production through Yazidi women’s war narratives
This research project addresses the puzzle of how knowledge of the gendered nature of war is produced and circulated.It will do so through analyzing testimonies of Yazidi women and...
Evolutionary bursts — varying selection and rapid adaptation in the wild
Why do some populations evolve rapidly while others stagnate and even go extinct in a changing environment? The rate of evolution is determined by the amount of genetic variation a...
Sustainable Finance Lab
Purpose and goal:The purpose of the project is to create a more sustainable world through the transformative powers of the financial system that avoids to ´do harm´, and instead ´d...
A sparse formulation of the acoustic scattering of finite inhomogeneous structures
The objective of this fundamental research project is to derive a novel formulation for the acoustic scattering of finite structures with arbitrary shape and boundary conditions, w...
Grow warm, live cold: ontogeny and plasticity of thermoregulation over a life-time
The overall goal of this grant is to answer the timely question of whether animals born during stochastic, extreme temperature events (heat waves, cold snaps) develop physiological...
Friends or Foes: Deciphering the details of the role of HtrA proteins in neurodegenerative diseases by NMR spectroscopy.
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease are the two most wide-spread neurodegenerative diseases severely affecting the daily lives of millions of humans.The cellular protein quality co...
Explorations of the Epoch of Reionization
The Epoch of Reionization is the period when the first stars and galaxies formed and ionizing light escaped into the intergalactic medium, gradually ionizing and heating the entire...
Advances in Stochastic Control Theory and Applications
The problem to make optimal decisions under uncertainty can in many cases be handleded within the mathematical theory of optimal stochastic control. There exists today a powerful m...
