Wallenberg Molecular Medicine Fellow: Neurosciences Cognitive neuroscience of aging

The ALS Research Center at Umeå University and University Hospital of Northern Sweden, Region Västerbotten, was established in 1993 and the...

Gene regulatory mechanisms in obesity-associated liver cancer and development

An overarching goal of our research is to clarify the neuronal control mechanisms that endow humans with their extraordinary ability to manipulate...

Ageing has a profound impact on human society and modern medicine and the consequences of an ageing population is today one of the greatest...

The overall goal of our research is to understand how multimodal sensory information (visual, auditory and tactile) is used to plan and control...

Lab of Professor Patrik Danielson and Associate Professor Ludvig Backman and co-workers.

Computational Neuroanatomy Fahad Sultan (Associate Professor)

Type 2 diabetes and β-cell function

Muscle development and regeneration. During embryonic development, cells become committed to the myogenic fate through the activation of myogenic...

A fundamental question in motor control is how discrete modular elements of movement are coordinated into skilled motor output; e.g. reaching for a...

Parkinson’s disease - etiology, neuroprotection and symptomatology

The role of the LIM-homeobox gene Lhx2 in stem cell function, organ development and disease

Early development of the nervous system

To survive autonomously, every single human being must control their movements in a highly flexible and adaptive manner. The overall goal of our la...

Our research group is applying tissue engineering and regenerative medicine principles to understand how we can repair peripheral nerves and the...

This is the research group lead by Dr Paolo Medini Master Thesis Students, PhD and PostDoc applicants are welcome in the Lab!

In our research, we aim to understand how different parts of the central nervous system interact to generate purposeful behaviors. In particular, w...

Our group is dedicated to translational research on healthy and pathological skeletal and cardiac muscles. The research areas cover studies of musc...

Mechanisms regulating the innate immune system

Membrane sculpting is fundamental for many cellular processes, and malfunction is implicated in many diseases.

The goal of the laboratory is to examine the growth, assembly and connectivity of the nervous system during normal development and in disease...

We study long-range gene regulation and 3D organization of the glioblastoma genome.

Nutrient-dependent control of growth in c. elegans

The research group investigates the electrical signals of neurons and the role ion channels and ion transporters play for the generation of these...
