The WCMM researcher Joao Duarte and his team strive to understand how a diet rich on fat and sugar impacts memory functions in relation to obesity and type 2 diabetes. Their new study on mice shows that although an unhealthy diet leads to memory impairment, the damage does not have to be permanent.

The focus of cardiothoracic surgeon Sandra Lindstedt and her research team is lung transplantation. “Today, we can only use 20 percent of the donor lungs. What if we could recondition and regain lung function of just a portion of those lungs that we cannot use today? That would have a huge impact for patients on the waiting list for lung transplantation.” Sandra Lindstedt is a senior consultant in
