The year is 2072, and the worst storm in two hundred years is about to hit Scania, in the south of Sweden. In Skanör-Falsterbo, a family is celebrating Christmas when the storm alarm sounds. The waves draw closer to the house, and the family dash towards the nearby church. What happens next is the result of many decades of decisions: did we work together, or did the lines of conflict become even d

Lao Saal has a mission; to make it possible to – just by testing a blood sample – reveal, not only if you have cancer, but also which therapies may be most effective, and how well is the cancer actually responding to treatment. His idea is to trace the genetic material that escapes from tumours and into the blood circulation. “It’s a great feeling when you can go the whole way from having an idea

If you are active in a student organisation, in other words a student union, nation or the Academic Society (AF), support is available from the Student Health Centre. This could concern everything from providing information to and interacting with other students to obtaining support for combining your student life commitments with your studies. For many students, student life is an important eleme

You rush into the supermarket; your mother-in-law is coming for dinner. But which products end up in your shopping basket and why? Researchers have previously tracked eye movements to understand which products attract you in a shop. In order to get closer to the truth, they now want to use new computational models in which the brain’s cognitive processes also play a major role. As you stand in the

Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the abnormal accumulation and spread of the tau protein in the brain. An international study can now show how tau spreads according to four distinct patterns that lead to different symptoms with different prognoses of the affected individuals. The study was published in Nature Medicine. “In contrast to how we have so far interpreted the spread of tau in the

Diabetes results from loss or dysfunction of insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas. Despite insulin injection treatment, diabetic patients suffer from long-term complications, such as blindness and kidney failure. Therefore, a central goal of diabetes research is to regenerate beta cells or produce large numbers of functional beta cells for transplantation. The successful generation of beta

Virus är bland de enklaste biologiska objekt i vår omgivning. Vanligen består de av en behållare av protein molekyler, en så kallad viruskapsel, som att bygga på denna viktiga insikt leder vi en bred studie av Herpesvirus där vi utforskar fysikaliska mekanismer som styr virus infektionen och ge en möjlighet till att kontrollera och även stoppa den. Dessutom öppnar studierna porten till strategierMy research area is Virus Biophysics. Research focuses on key physical mechanisms controlling replication of double-stranded DNA and RNA viruses. Experimental model systems used in my group are dsDNA bacteriophages, human Herpes viruses and Rotaviruses. I am specifically interested in physical mechanisms of genome packaging and ejection from viral capsids, viral packaging motors, DNA structural tr

Preeclampsia is a severe pregnancy-related condition that annually affects 10M women worldwide. The etiology is largely unknown and diagnosis is currently based on maternal clinical symptoms: high blood pressure and organ damage manifesting after 20 weeks of gestation. Delivery is currently the only cure. Increased long-term risk for cardiovascular diseases and stroke after preeclampsia point to i
