Aiming to connect researchers and stakeholders from high-income and low- and middle-income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to exchange ideas and challenges for point-of-care diagnostics of maternal and neonatal infection.

How does small gravitational changes, or microgravity, caused by the moon, affect growth and reproduction in bladderwrack? Can macroalgae adapt to the space environment and be used for cultivation in the future?

Chemical profiling and toxicological assessment of organic aerosols from traffic - Necessary knowledge for improved risk assessments and regulations.

A comparative perspective on school segregation and its consequences, investigated over time in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Three countries that have had very similar education systems but have reformed their respective education systems in different ways in recent decades.

The focus of this project is on sustainable development of chemical reagents for detection of glyphosate.

The project will develop a novel portable medical device to monitor the most appropriate biomarkers in a decentralized way that uses electronics, optics, electrochemistry, and microfluidics. This new medical device is cost-efficient and will play a crucial role in managing chronic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.

The emissions of certain PFAAs on SSA from the oceans are estimated to be comparable to other major global sources to the air. Despite recent advances in understanding, we suspect that emissions of PFAAs in SSA from coastal waters are underestimated.

We will conduct fieldwork to determine if air concentrations of PFAS are correlated with tracers of sea spray aerosols and conduct modelling to determine if ocean-to-air transport of PFAS is an important source of PFAS relative to other sources.

CO2 is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU which produces a positive climate forcing or warming effect on Earth by absorbing energy and slowing the rate at which the energy escapes to space.

This project aims to develop high-throughput methods to support nontarget chemical exposomics in human blood, including high frequency sampling and high-throughput analytical strategies.

While modelling of transport and deposition undertaken in our research group indicates the importance of SAA transport and deposition of PFAAs in coastal regions, there is currently little empirical evidence for these impacts.

This project addresses two major environmental challenges for Sweden and the EU: the reduction of peat extraction and the accumulation of sludge waste at pulp and paper mills. The goal is to diminish the use of peat for casings in mushroom production and find alternatives for critical peat-dependent species like the common button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus.

A PhD student will conduct research to address the challenges in applying the essential use concept to uses of PFAS to support informed substitution of PFAS.

MS2Tox: Deep Learning for Automated Prediction of the Endocrine Disruptive Potency of Chemicals in Complex Mixtures

This project's focus is to detect chemicals and contaminants by using paper-based analysis units (PADs). A cost-effective and user-friendly method that allows the public to collect environmental real-time data on-site without additional equipment. This is an improvement of the current analytical systems that use bulky instrumentation in laboratories.

PERFORCE3 will greatly improve the understanding of these globally pervasive contaminants, find solutions for PFAS contamination problems and improve environmental and human health risk assessment frameworks and policies.

Understanding the toxicity of real-world complex mixtures, and identification of the most toxic chemicals is an essential starting point for the intelligent design of water treatment solutions and chemical regulation.

The Swedish Government recently launched a comprehensive report on the future of chemical risk management accounting for combination effects and assessing chemicals in groups.

Machine learning could contribute enormously is identifying small potentially toxic chemicals from big data acquired from the analysis of recycled materials with LC/ESI/HRMS.

Water pollution from industry, agriculture and urban settings is a major global pressure on human and ecological health. Effective monitoring of water quality is vital to safeguard our water supply and managing the health of our aquatic ecosystems.

Tandem development of waste textile recycling process and chemical screening for a non-toxic- Re:Start. While recycling of textiles is identified as an urgent need, only 1% of textile is recycled globally today.

Environmental remediation of water and soil as well as clean-up of waste streams relies on separation of pollutants followed by their transformation to non-hazardous products.

There is currently a pressing need to adapt crops to future climates by breeding drought- and heat-resilient varieties. Wild crop relatives harbor untapped genetic variation for breeding but remain underutilized due to the lack of efficient methods to identify beneficial variants in collections.

Cellulose is an essential constituent in the architecture of plants, where it contributes with extraordinary properties in terms of strength and stiffness. Using scanning electron diffraction we are revealing details of its atomic structure.

ZeroPM will enable the EU Green Deal‘s ambition towards Zero Pollution of Persistent, Mobile Substances. ZeroPM will interlink Prevention, Prioritization and Removal strategies to achieve its goals.
