The cognitive zoology team conducts behavioral studies measuring various cognitive skills. We mainly study different species of lizards, turtles, crocodilians and palaeognath birds. They occupy different phylogenetic nodes in the tree of life and represent different evolutionary paths and relatedness to one another. We measure so-called fundamental cognitive functions. Such functions underly more

The neuroanatomy team studies the brains of extant reptiles and birds to be able to reconstruct their evolution. Animal brains vary quite a lot in absolute size as well as size relative to the body and exhibit a huge diversity of shapes, but they also vary enormously on the inside and new techniques in neuroscience make it possible to study this hidden variation on a large scale. We collect brains

The palaeontology team has members in Scotland and the US and together have collected high-resolution CT scans of about 300 fossil reptiles and birds, including a diversity of extinct species on the line to modern-day crocodilians, dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex and Stegosaurus, and numerous species spanning the dinosaur-bird evolutionary transition. Their published work has shown that many dino

Our research 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, we

Sport Sciences Our research Our research focuses on preventing and managing musculoskeletal injuries and disease from youth to an older age. The target groups are athletes and non-athletic populations that either have or are at high risk of joint injury/disease, e.g., to the hip or knee. The goal is to enhance lifelong participation in sport and physical activity. Together with our closest researc

Eva Ekvall Hansson Our research Our research on physical activity is broad and explores the impact of health outcomes on different populations. There are currently several research projects where we study several aspects of physical activity. We describe physical activity levels among older adults and investigate the effect of mHealth (mobile health) interventions and other interventions to promot

Åsa Tornberg Our research People with cerebral palsy (CP) are less physically active than people without disabilities. They are at risk for cardiometabolic and other diseases related to physical inactivity. In addition, the accessibility to physical activities is limited. Therefore, our research addresses people with CP over the lifespan. We are interested in active participation in physical activ
