Come and enjoy some coffee and science!
The Science Fika is a recurring event where we share our passion for science and talk about different topics in easy-to-understand language. At each event a speaker will have a 20 minutes presentation about a scientific concept, to stimulate your curiosity and to show you the beauty of science. We will provide free fika after the presentation, giving you the opportunity to mingle and discuss in a more informal way. So welcome, sit back and enjoy some exciting science!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lectures will take place in collaboration with Folkuniversitetet and Proteintech in spring 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cells in a living organism are constantly bombarded by instructions of what they are supposed to do. Should they grow, divide, or maybe…die? These instructions are coming from so called signaling molecules, and are forwarded by signaling pathways. The final recipient of such instructions is often a gene that turns ON or OFF. In my talk I will explore how two important signaling molecules – active vitamin D and the growth factor EGF- affect cells with signals that contradict each other.

Cells in a living organism are constantly bombarded by instructions of what they are supposed to do. Should they grow, divide, or maybe…die? These instructions are coming from so called signaling molecules, and are forwarded by signaling pathways. The final recipient of such instructions is often a gene that turns ON or OFF. In my talk I will explore how two important signaling molecules – active vitamin D and the growth factor EGF- affect cells with signals that contradict each other.
