Earlier this fall, Milda Pucetaite was one of the 400 European researchers to receive an ERC Starting Grant for her project “Tracing single-cell scale chemical signalling between interacting soil fungi". As Milda is a member of BECC, we were curious to know a little bit more about her grant. The ERC Starting Grant is intended for early-career researchers and the only selection criterion is scienti

What if ordinary skin cells could be effectively reprogrammed to become brain cells and help with diseases like Alzheimer's? And what if machine learning allowed surgeons to precisely remove tumour cells on the operating table? These are the areas of research that Emil Andersson has been exploring to get closer to a solution. He successfully defended his PhD in computational biology at CEC. His th

Our work on Global Dynamic Engagement this year has shown us that in many ways, the University already has an impressive track record of global engagement. At the same time, our international impact is wavering, especially in relation to the number of citations of our publications in top-ranked journals. This development, which we share with many other universities, is worrying as it can make the
