Head: Ola Hansson Our research interest is to understand how genetic variation influences skeletal muscle function and whole-body metabolism. We use translational approaches and regularly conduct focused intervention studies in humans, including skeletal muscle biopsies. From the biopsies, muscle stem cells (satellite cells) are isolated and later used for preclinical measurements. In our projects

Albert Salehi’s group The etiology of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes is complex and involves the interaction between both genetic and environmental factors including nutritional state with consequent metabolic signals. There are currently no clinical treatments to prevent, reverse, or efficiently cure the progression of rapid beta-cell demise or insulin resistance in diabetes-prone individ

Head: Karin Stenkula My research group is focused on experimental cell biology research within the diabetes and obesity field. The overall purpose of our research is to explore both normal adipose cell function and the cellular mechanisms causing impaired glucose- and lipid metabolism associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. At a single cell level, we have shown that the GLUT4 trans

Daniel Agardh’s group Our researchThe overall purpose of our research is to uncover the genetic and environmental etiology of three autoimmune diseases – celiac disease, type 1 diabetes, and autoimmune thyroiditis. Specific autoantibody markers are used to predict the clinical onset of these three lifelong autoimmune diseases. Longitudinal studies of children at increased risk allow studies of the

Head: Karin Berger According to WHO, improving nutrition is the single most important contributor to reduce the burden of diabetes in Europe. Polyphenols are compounds with anti-oxidative effect providing taste and color in plant-based food. In the last decade, polyphenol-rich foods have received increased interest from researchers and food industry. The main reason for this interest is the reco

-What is IT dad? My nine-year-old wondered at the kitchen table at home. Thanks to the fact that the question is very current at Fysicum, I was able to actually answer, that it is the doctrine of human methods of transmitting meaningful information among themselves, and to their constructions, with the help of computers and the internet. Maybe not quite right, but at least an honest picture of how

Dear Colleagues,What is a physicist like?That was not really the question that ethnologist Maria Gedoz Tieppo started out with when she began her study on equality, inclusion and diversity in the bachelor's program in physics in October last year. Although, this was one of many exciting aspects that Maria brought up when she presented the results of the study at a teachers' meeting on May 30 in Ry
