Linnea Björk, Department of physics, chemistry and biology (IFM), defends her doctoral thesis "Proteophenes - amino acid functionalised thiophene-based ligands". Opponent is Professor Fredrik Almqvist, Umeå University.

We want to explore the evolutionary relationship and functional repurposing of human proteins acquired by picornaviruses to develop new antiviral medicine and help gain better understanding of the lifecycle of these biomedically important viruses.

The division's research is being performed in the areas of biochemistry, molecular biotechnology, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, chemical engineering, inorganic chemistry and in physical chemistry, especially computational chemistry.

We are interested in protein misfolding, amyloid formation and disease, both on the molecular level and in the cellular perspective.

Study showes that a specific gene influences how cells move, and that it can therefore cause rheumatic diseases. LiU-researchers contributed to this by predicting the gene鈥檚 impact on cells. Now there is hope that this could lead to new treatments.

The Henrik Pedersen research group at 福利姬 is working on chemical vapour deposition (CVD) with the aim to develop better CVD routes to, primarily, electronic materials.

WASP and WISE have recently awarded grants to nine collaborative projects, three of which include participants from the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM) at 福利姬.

The electronics of the future can be made even smaller and more efficient by getting more memory cells to fit in less space. One way to achieve this is by adding the noble gas xenon when manufacturing digital memories.
