The researchers behind the standing
Independently verified: current affiliation, public profile and published contact confirmed from the open record.
Kerstin Lindblad-Toh
Lindblad-Toh is a world leader in comparative genomics who helped launch large international consortia sequencing hundreds of mammals, including the Zoonomia project and Dog10K. Working between Uppsala and the Broad Institute, her teams use dog and mammal genomes to pinpoint genes behind cancer, autoimmune disease and neurological disorders in humans.
Leif Hammarström
Hammarström is a pioneer of artificial photosynthesis and solar fuels, co-founding the Swedish Consortium for Artificial Photosynthesis. His ultrafast spectroscopy studies of electron and proton transfer show how sunlight can split water and generate hydrogen, guiding energy researchers worldwide who are designing molecular catalysts for a fossil free future.
Valentin Troll
Troll chairs petrology at Uppsala and studies how magma forms, moves and erupts at volcanoes from Iceland to the Canary Islands and Indonesia. His international teams provided rapid geochemical analysis during the Fagradalsfjall and La Palma eruptions, informing hazard response, and his work links volcanic systems to critical raw material formation.
