Development of a lung METAstasis-on-a-CHIP model for osteosarcoma as a biomimetic testing platform for drug discovery and therapeutic innovation
Osteosarcoma is a highly aggressive bone cancer that primarily affects children.Secondary lung metastasis is the most critical clinical factor, with 70% of those who develop lung m...
Land use implications of the renewable energy transition
To mitigate climate change, most electricity production will have to come from renewable energy (RE) sources. A challenge is that RE has a much larger land footprint than conventio...
Effective Field Theories to understand and predict the Nature of the XYZ Exotic Hadrons
Two decades ago, the eld of strongly interacting particles entered a golden age with the discovery of exotic hadrons labeled as XYZs.The breakthrough fueled a surge in experimental...
Gamma-secretase allosteric modulation as preventive therapy in Alzheimer’s Disease
The recent advent of therapeutic Aβ-antibodies has validated amyloid plaques as drug targets in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). They remain expensive, prone to side effects, and clinical...
Collective Adaptation
Human collectives adapt their cognitive strategies and social networks flexibly in response to multiple changing problems.For example, we as scientists continuously revise our team...
Uncovering the molecular mechanisms of oligodendrocyte plasticity in cognitive aging.
Myelin, an oligodendrocyte membrane spirally wrapped around axons, has only recently been appreciated to be a plastic structure, which constantly remodels in response to experience...
Causes and consequences of aberrant mRNA translation in cancer
Shortages in amino acids are weapons in the warfare between tumor cells and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes.Tumor cells enhance or inhibit the production of key amino acid metabolit...
Open Force Microscopy for Biology and Biomedicine
The emergence and establishment of mechanobiology has led to a growing demand for the mechanical characterization of biological samples. Moreover, nanomechanical tests for diagnosi...
Protein Landscapes: The political geography of the production and consumption of animal proteins
Despite the devastating effects of the meat-dairy industry on climate and environment, the production and consumption of animal-based protein is at historically high levels. I refe...
Novel in situ imaging technology to explore the “ladder of vertical migrations” to the deep-sea
The pelagic deep ocean is the largest but least-understood habitat on Earth, harboring enormous fish stocks, a rich (and largely undiscovered) biodiversity, as well as a large carb...
A New Labour Law for Supply Chain Capitalism
Labour law gradually protects fewer of the worlds workers.Changes in work and capital structure, new technologies and evolving modes of supply and production (together: supply chai...
Preclinical in vivo proof-of-concept for cyclic oligopeptide rescuers of pathogenic protein misfolding and aggregation associated with neurodegeneration
Within the ERC Consolidator Grant ProMiDis, my team and I have developed genetically engineered bacteria that function as a stand-alone, living discovery platform for short, drug-l...
Mantras in Religion, Media and Society in Global Southern Asia
Over 4 million people in Europe, including Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh minorities and Yoga practitioners, use mantras—sacred utterances, formulas, or syllables—for the purposes of ritual...
Ways of imagining in children's lives with information texts
What makes a piece of information personally engaging, and what does it even mean when it is experienced as such?Adopting a child-centred view on an emergent form of literate life,...
Reading the mind’s eye: AI-inspired personalised brain models of mental imagery
How do we create mental images?Despite extensive research, we still miss an overarching mechanistic understanding of mental imagery: How do the various brain regions involved in me...
High-resolution Boron and beyond Geologic reconstructions for carbon and climate processes
The link between climate and CO2 is not always straightforward, particularly during periods of multiple climatic and environmental changes, but atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) pla...
Regional Variation in Social Norms and Climate Change Action
A growing body of research in the behavioral and social sciences highlight the potentially productive role of social norms in changing behavior towards more climate change action.T...
Unveiling atomic-scale elemental distribution of electrode/electrolyte interfaces and interphase in batteries
Developing high-energy-density rechargeable battery technologies is essential to solve energy and environmental problems.However, its development is currently impeded by a poor und...
Targeted Re-engineering of the Tumor Matrix to Advance Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy can prolong lives of cancer patient subgroups, but fails in solid tumors with dense fibrotic stroma, such as pancreatic cancer.Fibrotic stroma prevents the recruitmen...
Personalized and Subjective approaches to Natural Language Processing
My project, PERSONAE, will make language technology (LT) accessible and valuable to everyone.I will revolutionize research in subjective tasks in NLP such as abusive language detec...
