Consequences of decisions on AI for safety, democracy and future development The project is funded by the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation during July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2023. The purpose is to: better understand how different distributions of forward-looking responsibility for the development of AI today will affect the long-term development of AI regarding three criteria: safety; democ
In June 2022, Sofia Bergh started her PhD studies in TNU supervised by Prof. Åsa Petersén. The overall aim of the PhD project is to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms of limbic system pathology of Huntington’s disease. Her first original research article is in press titled “Effects of mutant huntingtin in oxytocin neurons on non-motor features of Huntington’s disease” in Neuropathol

Weydt P, Dupuis L and Petersen Å. Handbook of Clinical Neurology 157: 761-775 (2018) Abstract Huntington disease (HD) is a paradigmatic autosomal-dominant adult-onset neurodegenerative disease. Since the identification of an abnormal expansion of a trinucleotide repeat tract in the huntingtin gene as the underlying genetic defect, a broad range of transgenic animal models of the disease has become

Baldo B, Soylu R and Petersén ÅPLoS One 8(12) (2013)AbstractHuntington's disease (HD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded polyglutamine repeat in the huntingtin protein. Neuropathology in the basal ganglia and in the cerebral cortex has been linked to the motor and cognitive symptoms whereas recent work has suggested that the hypothalamus might be involved in the metabolic

In May 2022, Karin Dalene Skarping started her PhD studies in TNU supervised by Prof. Åsa Petersén. The overall aim of the PhD project is to study genetic mechanisms that may modify the disease course and pathology of Huntington disease. One of her current research projects is aimed to examine associations between germline pathogenic variants in mismatch-repair (MMR) genes and CAG-repeats in HTT,

Linda Holmquist Mengelbier is a paediatric cancer researcher who now, in parallel to her cancer effort, has started to work with the neurodegenerative disorders Huntington disease and ALS. Her focus in the cancer field has been on the embryonal pediatric solid tumors neuroblastoma and Wilms tumor. Neuroblastoma is a sympathetic nervous system tumor derived from the neural crest, whereas Wilms tumo
