Recurrent disease in the liver transplant: window to identify and stop gut signals driving autoimmunity

Autoimmune disease is an increasing health concern. These diseases are strongly associated with altered gut microbiome. When immunosuppression fails there is little to offer in terms of therapy. In this project, I hypothesize that gut signals (microbial factors from the intestine) unaffected by i...

Exposing nature’s view of ligand recognition in ionotropic glutamate receptors

Molecular biology strives for the prediction of function, based on the genetic code. Within neuroscience, this is reflected in the intense study of the molecular basis for ligand recognition by neurotransmitter receptors. Consequently, structural and functional studies have rendered a profoundly ...

Value Judgments and Redistribution Policies

Heterogeneity and diversity are a pervasive aspect of modern societies. Differences in individuals’ preferences, needs, skills, and information are key to explain variation in individuals’ behavior and to anticipate individuals’ responses to policy changes.

Co-production of seasonal representations for adaptive institutions

Climate change may be undermining the stock of seasonal representations that society draws on to understand and live according to the weather. The CALENDARS project studies how modern society represents seasons, and how these representations shape institutions and help people live with seasonal c...

Discovery and functional significance of post-translational N-terminal acetylation

In mammalian cells, N-terminal (Nt) acetylation is one of the most abundant protein modifications. It is catalysed by N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs) and mostly occurs co-translationally. However, in contrast to the defined co-translational NATs, post-translational NATs which have crucial re...

Mixed-phase clouds and climate (MC2) – from process-level understanding to large-scale impacts

The importance of mixed-phase clouds (i.e. clouds in which liquid and ice may co-exist) for weather and climate has become increasingly evident in recent years. We now know that a majority of the precipitation reaching Earth’s surface originates from mixed-phase clouds, and the way cloud phase ch...

Signals from the Surface Snow: Post-Depositional Processes Controlling the Ice Core Isotopic Fingerprint

For the past 50 years, our use of ice core records as climate archives has relied on the fundamental assumption that the isotopic composition of precipitation deposited on the ice sheet surface determines the ice core water isotopic composition. Since the isotopic composition in precipitation is ...
