Seeking the answer to human genetic diversity
The key to many diseases is to be found in our DNA. But it is rarely a single mutated gene that makes us sick; it is a combination of different genes and environment. Wallenberg Scholar Tuuli Lappalainen wants to find patterns in our DNA that can bring us closer to new therapies.
Adolescent brain development and the risk of schizophrenia
Wallenberg Scholar Jens Hjerling Leffler and his team’s main focus is an in-depth study of what happens to neural cells as the adolescent brain develops.
Surface of leukemia cells – a potential target for new therapies
Wallenberg Clinical Scholar Thoas Fioretos and his colleagues are looking for unique features of the cells that may lead to new diagnostics and less grueling therapies.
Connecting the nervous system using stretchable electrodes
Wallenberg Academy Fellow Klas Tybrandt is developing a new interface between the nervous system and modern-day electronics. Pliable elastic microelectrodes can be used to improve contact with living tissue, potentially improving current therapies.
