Sommarjobb på Medicago AB, Uppsala

Medicago, som är ett familjeägt bolag verksamt inom bio- och medicinteknik, grundades 1995 och har alltsedan dess haft rening av lektiner som en av sina huvudverksamheter. Lektiner är kolhydratbindande proteiner med egenskaper som gör att de kan fästa till glykosylerade proteiner, till exempel från virus. En av bolagets produkter, ett lektin framrenat från linser, har visat sig fästa till covid-19-viruset och är därför mycket eftertraktat av vaccinbolag idag. De är nu i en uppskalningsfas och är i behov av mer personal. Både tillfälligt under sommaren, men också på sikt, vilket ev. kan leda till en fast anställning som processingenjör.

SLU Artdatabankens konferens Flora- och faunavård 2021

Naturvården står inför stora utmaningar. Samtidigt ökar vår kunskap om arterna och tillståndet för vår natur. I Sverige är många utredningar och beslut uppe på bordet och nya globala mål ska sättas. Under konferensen kommer vi att redovisa tillståndet i den svenska naturen, diskutera klimatförändringar i relation till biologisk mångfald, prata om förutsättningar, utmaningar och framtid. Konferensen tar upp det mest aktuella i svensk naturvård. I år provas ett nytt sätt att träffas. Hela konferensen hålls i år digitalt och den är öppen för alla som är intresserade av naturvård.

Doktorandplats i ekologi, Högskolan i Kristianstad

Gäss och svanar har ökat dramatiskt i norra Europa, vilket väcker flera frågeställningar, bland annat vilka konsekvenserna är i ekosystemen. Detta är speciellt angeläget att studera i akvatiska ekosystem eftersom även många våtmarker genomgår stora förändringar i växt- och djursamhällen, men också i exempelvis ökad grad av brunifiering. Eftersom gäss och svanar ofta utgör en stor del av den totala biomassan av de akvatiska konsumenterna kommer projektet belysa om dessa fåglar har centrala roller i pågående förändringar i våtmarksekosystem. Sådan kunskap är viktig för framgångsrik förvaltning av våtmarker som ekosystem, men också av enskilda växt- och djurgrupper som ingår i dem. Läs vidare om det intressanta och angelägna projektet i pdf-en!

Degree project on aspects of acute myeloid leukemia in children at IGP, UU

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematological disorder where expansion of mutated hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) leads to overproduction of immature white blood cells and leukemia. Genomic sequencing of AML patients has revealed recurrent mutations in a gene called UBTF. How mutations in UBTF contribute to myeloid malignancies remains an unanswered question which this project aims to shed light on. Students interested in doing a long individual project course/research training are also welcome to take a contact for further discussions.

Doctoral student in aquatic ecology, Linnaeus University, Kalmar

Thiamine (vitamin B1) dynamics and deficiencies are intensively discussed in the scientific literature and in media. We need research to understand the mechanisms regulating the transfer of this micronutrient in aquatic systems. This information will guide management of the food webs to reduce this environmental issue. Salmon in the Baltic Sea periodically suffer from low reproductive output due to a thiamine deficiency syndrome called M74. Recent studies also suggest that cod is thiamine deficient. This project will therefore: Quantify thiamine and thiamine degrading enzymes in cod, salmon and their prey in a wide range of systems. It will also disentangle the factors regulating thiamine dynamics in fish using mechanistic laboratory experiments.
