The SoilChip project was featured on the radio, with Edith Hammer, Kristin Aleklett and Pelle Ohlsson explaining how microchips from Biomedical Engineering help ecologists study what bacteria and fungi are doing under the ground and how the microscopic labyrinths in the ground prevent microorganisms from finding carbon and releasing it into the [...]
Swedish newspaper Skånska dagbladet made an end-of-the-year interview with Assoc prof. Hanna Isaksson about her career as she recently recieved grant of 7.5 million SEK from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg foundation. Hanna works with biomechanics which is very much of a cross-over field between medicine and engineering looking at the tissues and [...]
Edith Hammer and Kristin Aleklett from Microbial Ecology were interviewed in the news about how they use microfluidic chips made in collaboration with Pelle Ohlsson and Martin Bengtsson at BME to be able to see underground bacteria and fungi. They study how the microscopic labyrinths in the ground prevent microorganisms from finding carbon and [...]
Today the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation announced the Wallenbeg Academy Fellows 2017. Hanna Isaksson at BME is one of 24 early-career researchers to obtain the prestigeous grant. The reserach will focus on understanding the role of mechanical loading in intact and ruptured achilles tendons undergoing healing. Read more details in the press [...]
