DKK 15 million from Novo for research in the clouds

The Novo Nordisk Foundation has granted DKK 15 million from its interdisciplinary synergy programme to project DRAMA. With researchers from both Nat and Tech, the project will decipher the role of atmospheric microbial aerosols for cloud formation.

International initiative seeks to improve healthcare through cell-based medicine

The research initiative LifeTime represents more than 50 European universities, including Aarhus University. A new Perspective article in Nature, co-authored by Jørgen Kjems from iNANO and MBG, outlines LifeTime's vision of how to revolutionize healthcare through personalised, cell-based interceptive medicine.

A European seed dispersal interaction relocated to New Zealand. The Eurasian blackbird (Turdus merula) disperses hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) seeds. Both species are native to Europe but are pictured here in New Zealand. Photo: Steve Attwood. Native species disperse the newcomer plants. The kererū (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae) is the largest seed disperser native to New Zealand, where it disperses European hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna). Photo: Steve Attwood. Introduced species blur natural geographic signatures in the global network of mutualistic interactions between plants and seed dispersers. Each point represents a plant or animal species and links show interactions observed at any location. Geographic patterns emerge when visualizing only interactions among native species (a) but are blurred when interactions involving introduced species are included (b).
