Mapping how protein clusters on the cell surface signal
Our lives depend on cells communicating with each other. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet are now attempting to understand how groups of proteins on the surfaces of cells are structured, and how they interpret and transmit signals to their surroundings.
Comparing the DNA of mammals to find paths to new treatments
Having mapped some 240 mammalian genomes, Wallenberg Scholar Kerstin Lindblad-Toh aims to trace the genetics behind diseases such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), ALS and cancer.
