Johan Jakobsson. Portrait.

The ageing brain

Johan Jakobsson explores how the brain ages at a molecular level, aiming to understand why ageing leads to diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s and to identify the biological mechanisms that distinguish healthy ageing from degeneration.

Stem cell transplantation – the key to healthier ageing?

David Bryder investigates how ageing affects blood‑forming stem cells and explores how stem cell transplantation could rejuvenate the immune system, with the goal of preventing age‑related diseases and promoting healthier ageing.

What fuels a lifetime of scientific discovery?

Looking back on his journey Dr. Olle Lindvall reflects on his journey in neuroscience

Podd: På blodigt allvar – sällsynta blodgrupper och universalblod

Explore how blood is matched for transfusions, the challenge of rare blood types, and the search for universal blood with Prof. Martin Olsson (Vetenskap & Hälsa podcast; in Swedish)

Women's strong immune system

Camila Consiglio investigates why women and men have different immune responses by studying how sex and hormones shape immunity, aiming to enable more personalised treatments, vaccines, and therapies.

Searching for an 'off switch' for cancer

Nicholas Leigh studies how salamanders can regenerate tissues and rarely develop cancer, aiming to uncover how genes controlling regeneration could be used to identify a biological “off switch” that stops tumor growth in human cells.

Eggs can help us understand neuroblastoma

Sofie Mohlin uses chicken embryo models to study early nervous system development to identify genetic changes that initiate neuroblastoma and improve its diagnosis and treatment for pediatric patients.

Feeding time for the miniature brains

Anna Falk creates miniature brain organoids from reprogrammed human skin cells to study how early brain development differs in conditions like autism and other neuropsychiatric disorders, helping uncover their underlying mechanisms.

All energies on fighting pediatric cancer

Kees‑Jan Pronk studies how chemotherapy, and stem cell transplants, affect the body to reduce long‑term complications and make therapies safer and more effective for patients with childhood cancer.

The long, magnificent road of a neuroscientist’s life
