They receive grants for SSF’s Research Institute Doctoral Student
Eight projects receive 3.25 million kronor each so that an employee can complete a doctorate in a strategic area for Sweden in natural sciences, technology or medicine.
One project is about understanding how the bacterial flora of the gastrointestinal tract affects the development of diabetes 2, which can lead to the development of drugs. Another project will use a quantum material to develop more accurate single-electron pumps that are used, for example, to regulate the radiation dose of cancer cells or in measurements of air pollution. A third project is about increasing the stability of lipid nanoparticles – substances that protect and deliver mRNA in Covid vaccines and which currently must be stored at -80 degrees Celsius to function.
The following projects will receive funding:
