Systems biology modelling

We develop and analyse models of biological networks to improve our understanding of how living cells and tissues function. The models are mainly based on the interaction between different genes and proteins, for example in stem cells. Our research group works on constructing and refining computational models to describe genetic, epigenetic and metabolic networks. Such systems biology models can,

Remote sensing of ecosystems

The Remote Sensing of Ecosystems research group integrates environmental science and geoinformatics to better understand spatial and temporal effects on the ecological patterns we observe and the processes that create them. We do this in part by analysing both raw remote sensing observations (such as from satellites) and remote sensing-based data (such as from drones or autonomous sensors) to quan

Joint PhD seminar series registration page

Sweden has an ecological footprint of approximately four Earths, which greatly exceeds nature’s ability to meet our demands sustainably. Envisioning what a new, sustainable society should look like is one important task of research, envisioning the process of getting there is another, equally important task. This seminar is on research on transitions towards climate adaptation in Sweden. The prese

Webinar: Obstacles to climate policies and how they are [sometimes] overcome

Date: 17 November 2023 Time: 12:15-13:00 Place: Zoom Fast, fair and transformative societal change is necessary to curb both climate change and biodiversity loss. This transformation should include effective policies and other mechanisms to steer companies, governments and individuals, course-correcting where needed. Yet now, at the halfway mark of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, subs

Integrating bioinfomatics and physiology to describe genetic affects in complez polygenic diseases Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) results from interaction between genetic and environmental factors. The worldwide prevalence of T2DM is increasing rapidly due to reduction in physical activity, increase in dietary intake, and the aging of the population. This thesis has focused on dissecting the gene

Exploring the Grey Zone between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes T1D is most common in children and young adults and is characterized by autoimmune destruction of insulin producing pancreatic beta cells, presence of certain risk genotypes such as HLA-DQB1, INS VNTR, PTPN22 and need of insulin for survival. In adults the same situation is often referred to as Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA),

Genetic and Metabolic Markers for the Development of Diabetes after Gestational Diabetes Mellitus The aims of this work were to determine the prevalence of postpartum diabetes among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in a prospective study 5 years postpartum; to characterize these women according to insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity, autoimmunity and genetics; and to identify poss

Regulation of Glucagon Secretion from pancreatic alpha cells Glucagon secreted by pancreatic α-cells plays an important role in the regulation of blood glucose. In this thesis, different techniques such as electrophysiology, immunohistochemistry and hormone secretion assay were combined to explore the mechanisms by which glucagon secretion is regulated. Like pancreatic β-cells, which produce insul

Molecular Etiology of Graves´ Disease and Associated Ophthalmopathy Graves' disease (GD) is a complex autoimmune disorder characterized by hyperthyroidism and diffuse goitre. 25-50% of the patients with GD develop eye symptoms, Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO). The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the molecular etiology of GD and GO. By studying gene expression in Studies I, III, and IV, we de

The Role of Genetic Variation and DNA Methylation in Human Glucose Metabolism and Type 2 Diabetes The incidence of diabetes is increasing worldwide, with the most prevalent form being type 2 diabetes. Two fundamental processes contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes: insulin resistance in target organs and insufficient insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta-cells. The aim of this thes

New aspects of voltage-gated calcium channel regulation in pancreatic beta-cells. Relevance for insulin release and type 2 diabetes Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are essential transducers of cellular signals in many electrically excitable cells. In the pancreatic beta-cell they mediate controlled Ca2+ influx, which is the final trigger for Ca2+ dependent release (exocytosis) of the blood glucose low

Triggers of autoimmunity. Studies on gestational events The primary aim of this thesis was to test whether gestational exposure to environmental factors may induce islet autoimmunity. The second aim was to determine to what extent the exposure to viruses or other environmental factors is a risk factor for type 1 diabetes in the offspring. As children with type 1 diabetes have a higher risk of deve
