Developing new methods for earlier diagnosis of prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is one of the commonest forms of cancer in Sweden. There are often no symptoms in the early stages, and the PSA diagnostic test is not completely reliable. Joakim Lundeberg is building on his earlier breakthroughs in gene analysis to create a more watertight diagnostic method.
Forest growth slowing due to water shortage
Growth in Swedish forests has declined over the past decade – in sharp contrast to all forecasts.
“Forests are suffering from a shortage of water. It’s vital we find out why this is,” says Wallenberg Scholar Hjalmar Laudon.

Data from space probes aiding our understanding of plasma flares
Swedish researchers are hoping to understand, and thereby predict, plasma flares capable of harming sensitive electronics, says Tünde Fülöp.
Searching for a theory of negative dependence
The method of Lorentzian polynomials gained widespread international recognition when launched by Petter Brändén and June Huh. As a Wallenberg Scholar, Brändén wants to improve the method and give it broader application.
