Vital symbiosis in the oceans of the world
Diatoms and nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria living in the world’s oceans play a key role in nitrogen and carbon cycles. Rachel Foster is studying how this symbiosis works at molecular level. This knowledge may aid understanding of plant evolution as well as our future climate.
Learning how liver cancer develops
Wallenberg Academy Fellow Claudia Kutter is researching into molecular mechanisms that may explain how healthy cells become cancerous.
Gravity, black holes and holograms
Wallenberg Academy Fellow Monica Guica's goal is to understand the fundamental workings of gravity.
Focus on fundamental evolutionary biology
How are new genes and functional proteins created? This is one of the most fundamental questions in evolutionary biology. An interdisciplinary research team at Uppsala University is now looking to find out. It is a high-risk project, but if they succeed they will have found one Holy Grail of evolutionary biology.
