Johan von Schreeb, Professor of global disaster medicine and Head of the Centre for Research on Health Care in Disasters at Karolinska Institutet, has been named Director of Karolinska Institutet’s (KI) newly established Health Emergency and Pandemic Science Center. The aim is to create a center based on KI’s knowledge and capability, that finds connections […]

A new study from Karolinska Institutet shows how certain RNA molecules control the repair of damaged DNA in cancer cells, a discovery that could eventually give rise to better cancer treatments. New research demonstrates that RNA molecules have a much broader function than previously thought and can play a key role in the development of […]

Targovax has entered into a two-year research collaboration with Professor Michael Uhlin of the Department of Clinical Science, Intervention and Technology at Karolinska Institutet, to develop and characterize novel ONCOS oncolytic viruses. “Prof. Uhlin is a highly accomplished scientist with deep experience in translational and clinical immunology. His expertise and research capabilities will play a […]

An international research team have mapped how the signalling molecules caused by exercise are releases by different organs in mice following exercise at different times of the day. Their atlas of exercise metabolism, published in the journal Cell Metabolism, may in the long term contribute to more effective exercise therapies that are timed to the […]

A new study from Karolinska Institutet shows that T cells still recognize omicron after infection with previous variants of SARS-CoV-2 or vaccination. The omicron variant can partly evade the antibody response provided by vaccination or infection with previous variants of SARS-CoV-2. However, T cells still recognize omicron, the scientists report in a study published in […]

An international metastudy led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet has identified a specific gene variant that protects against severe COVID-19 infection. The researchers managed to pinpoint the variant by studying people of different ancestries, a feat they say highlights the importance of conducting clinical trials that include people of diverse descents. The results are published […]
