"We will discover things we didn't even know we were looking for"

 

For over hundred years Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation has given long term support for basic research in Sweden. For recent years, every year, more than two billion Swedish crowns – for building new knowledge for a brighter future.

Ion channels play a crucial role in many bodily functions and are therefore targets for the development of drugs for conditions such as epilepsy and arrhythmia. Researchers from five Swedish universities are combining biological experiments with artificial intelligence to create a new strategy for designing drug molecules for these complex structures.

The abstract world of mathematics offers many challenges. As a Wallenberg Scholar, Andreas Strömbergsson has the opportunity to adopt a new approach to complex mathematical problems. His research centers on the overlap between number theory and dynamical systems, often relating to classical problems that are several hundred years old.
