Wallenberg Academy Fellow Steffi Burchardt is studying extinct volcanoes, and the finds she is making in their hidden depths provide valuable insights.
Seeking grafting mechanisms for better wine harvests and forestry
Wallenberg Academy Fellow Charles Melnyk intends to be the first to identify the biological mechanisms behind successful grafting.
Creating new materials from crystals on nanothreads
In Lund researchers are creating new materials possessing properties that no one has ever seen before.
Studying DNA repairs in cells at atomic level
Solar UV radiation is all around us. It damages DNA in living cells, but they usually repair themselves. Wallenberg Academy Fellow Björn Burmann intends to find out how. This may ultimately lead to better cancer therapies and new antibiotics.
