On the trail of more effective cancer therapy
We must learn to put one foot on the gas and one on the brake. At Karolinska Institutet six research teams are deploying an array of cutting-edge skills to find out how learning more about reactive oxygen radicals could both rationalize existing cancer therapy and drugs, and lead to the discovery of new ones.
Computer simulates turbulence
Wallenberg Academy Fellow Philipp Schlatter wants to take studies of turbulence to a new level. A virtual wind tunnel will show how an aircraft wing can be designed to reduce drag.
The impact of the refugee crisis on hospitality
Terms such as “host” and “hospitality” are more complicated than they might at first appear. Wallenberg Academy Fellow Fataneh Farahani is now studying the impacts of the refugee crisis on hospitality.

Things have now calmed down at Fysicum in Lund, but the hunt for the heavyweights of the atomic world continues. It is not enough to synthesize them; they must also be identified and analyzed before they decay.
