Materials science for a sustainable world – SEK 3 billion to new research initiatives
Revealing how the cell uptakes sugar
Over half of our drugs impact proteins found on the cell membrane. These include the membrane proteins that regulate uptake of sugar by cells. Wallenberg Scholar David Drew is breaking new ground by adding to our understanding of the structure and function of transport proteins.
Research into scarring – paving the way for new treatments of spinal cord injuries
Wallenberg Academy Fellow Christian Göritz is studying the mechanisms underlying the formation of scar tissue. The goal is to control scarring, an ability that may ultimately lead to new therapies.
Resource efficient chemistry
Inspired by photosynthesis from the plant world, an interdisciplinary research team now aims to find new, virtually waste-free production methods.
Creating new research fields using organic electronics
Over the past twenty years new discoveries have come thick and fast out of Magnus Berggren’s research laboratory. Just recently, for instance, the lab produced the first ever material that can change from a solid phase to a gel with the help of electricity.
