Sustainable textile wastewater treatment using modified multi-layer membranes with antifouling and antibacterial properties
Treatment and re-use of textile wastewater is an important challenge in preserving existing water resources and reducing discharge of harmful pollutants into the environment. In pa...
Spatial Omics Enable Improved Pathophysiology-based Diagnosis of Parkinson´s Disease Dementia and Dementia with Lewy Bodies
We propose an innovative interdisciplinary research environment to investigate the pathophysiology of dementia in Parkinson’s disease (PDD) and Lewy Body dementia (LBD). Based on t...
Decolonizing Research Methodologies: A Research School supporting empirical data collection, fieldwork relations, ethical challenges, and transnational approaches
This programme aims to support the creation, organization, and the implementation of an interdisciplinary research school that would bring together Burkinabe, Malian, Swedish, and...
Towards efficient resistance genes-, microbiota and farmers’ indigenous knowledge-based strategy to inhibit the effect of coffee berry disease (CBD)
Ethiopia has unique position in harboring both cultivated and wild arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) and serving as a primary source of its genetic diversity. The wild (forest and se...
Affordable and low carbon building in Sub Saharan Africa
In Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) block based materials are often used since they enable building over a long period of time and permit using own and local labour.Common materials in res...
A Research network on contestations and conflicts in relation to sand mining in East- And West Africa
Sand is the world’s most used solid resource.It drives urbanization and economic growth and is the basic ingredient to countless commodities that make us ‘modern’ —from concrete an...
Integrated approaches to climate resilience in the uplands of Southeast Asia
Building on our previous research, we will combine our competences within natural and human geography, agricultural systems, ecology, sociology and rural development to analyse the...
Advancing knowledge on the epidemiology of African swine fever virus in Kenya
In East Africa, pig production is linked to household livelihoods, as a source of protein and income while significantly contributing to the national economy.However, pig productio...
Diagnostic Systems Strengthening for Cholera Control Strategies in a Fragile Region of Nigeria
Nigeria is one of 43 cholera endemic countries worldwide, largely due to deficiencies in the implementation of multi-sectoral interventions for cholera control including diagnostic...
Preparedness for epidemics and outbreaks
The general purpose is to establish a novel network that can work towards sustainable zoonotic viral diagnostics and surveillance in Rwanda.Specifically we aim to (1) establish a n...
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...
FASTER COVID-19 Vaccine Research
We will establish an environment that makes it Feasible to Assess Safety and Test Efficacy/Effectiveness Rapidly (FASTER) of COVID-19 vaccines.The FASTER project fosters a competit...
Real-life vaccine surveillance, immunological effect studies and infrastructure development for pandemic preparedness on a national level (RE-VISION)
As COVID-19 vaccines are rolled out, vaccine-induced protection in the general population and immunosuppressed patients remains unclear.Collaborative research is critical to optimi...
