Comparing the DNA of mammals to find paths to new treatments
Mapping the genomes of other mammals gives us a deeper understanding of the biology behind diseases that also occur in humans. Having mapped some 240 mammalian genomes, Kerstin Lindblad-Toh aims to trace the genetics behind diseases such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), ALS and cancer.
A new map of the brain to reveal our thinking
Wallenberg Scholar Marie Carlén is developing entirely new concepts and methods to analyze the brain’s electrical activity in the hope of elevating our understanding of cognition to a new level.
Developing game-changing blood tests in the fight against dementia
As a Wallenberg Scholar, Henrik Zetterberg is aiming to create a palette of tests to diagnose several other forms of dementia.
Honing the communication technology of the future
Peter Andrekson’s acclaimed research has resulted in a unique system: an optical amplifier and hypersensitive receiver that enable ultrafast optical communication without disruptive noise. As a Wallenberg Scholar, he aims to further refine this technology and explore new applications. These could have an impact in fields ranging from space communication to quantum technology.
