Societal outreach and impact “As a researcher I have focused on how the green transition and the worldwide push towards less carbon intensive energy affects local communities. In my work, I have prioritized the voice and situated knowledge of the people who are directly affected by the industrial energy buildout of facilities and gas pipelines necessary for hydraulic fracturing” / Martina Angela C

Welcome to the KEG-podcast. In each episode, we meet researchers and discuss new research in human geography. The interviews are conducted in Swedish and English, and the conversations are led by researcher Sanna Händén-Svensson. Season 2Welcome to season 2 of the KEG podcast, which will guide you as a listener through the exciting field of current human geography research. In the same spirit as t

At present around fifteen Ph.D. candidates are pursuing their Ph. D.s at the Department within the different research groups found at the Department. Ph.D. positions are financed by the Department, or through external funding, with most Ph.D. projects being funded externally. Since the amount of external funding varies from one year to another it is very difficult to predict when opportunities for

The PhD programme in Human Ecology would make it possible for the post-graduate: to acquire a deeper knowledge of human ecological processes at both local and global levels with interpretation of their mutual consistency; to develop the ability to integrate different perspectives in order to foster the growth of more multifaceted insights on specific socio-ecological systems, to develop a perspect

Scientific evidence shows that extractivism, as a development model reliant on the extraction of natural resources, has significant impacts on communities and ecosystems in the Global South, but also in the Global North. The members of the Extractivism Research Network share an interest in understanding how extractivism plays out in shaping development prospects both empirically and theoretically.

We shall explore genetic function by a combination of genetic and functional assays. First, via expression profiling, we intend to determine which genes for mitochondrial proteins are altered in pancreatic β-cells, liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. This will be performed in material from i) humans with or without the disease, ii) in genetically or pharmacologically manipulated animals an

To accomplish these goals we will: A) establish the stimulus-secretion coupling in human pancreatic islets from non-diabetic organ donors to obtain proof of concepts derived from rodent studies; these data will also establish the gold standard for efforts to differentiate embryonic stem cells into mature islet cells. B) Combine islet studies with genetic and metabolic studies in humanA) Our knowle

How do we get people from different cultures, industries and worlds to sit down and talk to each other? First, they need to be brought together, and this alone requires the right person for the job.

PI: Nils Wierup The emergence of morbidly obese patients has prompted novel approaches to achieve weight reduction. Given that energy reduction by dieting is largely unsuccessful in this paitent group, surgical procedures have instead been developed to dramatically restrict food intake. Indeed, over the course of months patients may loose up to 50% in body weight. In addition, the majority of pati

PI: Albert Salehi The antiology of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes is complex and involves the interaction between both genetic and environmental factors (also including nutritional and metabolic signals). It has been known for at long time that dysfunction fo pancreatic islets cell (α-, β- and δ-cell) is a critical factor in the development and progression of these diseases.One of the larg

Glucolipotoxicity:We will identify defects in the regulation of adipose tissue lipid metabolism associated with obesity and diabetes using models with altered expression of hormone sensitive lipase (HSL), the rate-limiting step in lipolysis 39 and phosphodiesterase3B (PDE3B) 40-42, a key enzyme controlling insulin action HSL activity. Altered profiles of lipid derived second messengers and alterat

New drug targetsWe have in the different sections tested a number of pathways as putative new drug targets including exploring the role of TXNIP for the development of glucotoxicity in β-cells, muscle and kidney and the role of glucokinase in the β-cells. We have also explored the role of Ncf1 in thymus mediated control of tolerance. Potentially, all studied pathways can include regulatory steps w

Initialt finansierades MKC av Cancerfonden och MFM av sjukvården i Malmö. Fram till 2005 hade vi möjlighet att tillhandahålla prover och datauttag utan kostnad. Idag måste dock vår verksamhet intäktsfinansieras. Vår största utgift är personalkostnader. Vi har en heltidsanställd datamanager och en heltidsanställd projektkoordinator. Vid stora uttag måste vi också ta hjälp från externt anställda BMA
