HEALTH AND TECHNOLOGY. On May 9, students and supervisors will gather for the sixth Master’s Thesis Fair in Health and Technology. Meet former Chalmers University of Technology students Felix Ericsson and Alma Lund, who did their master’s thesis project on how stress affects blood pressure in the brain. “It is almost impossible to find a better project for a master’s thesis than the one we chose,” according to Felix Ericsson.…
New method for diagnosing knee ligament injuries being tested
HEALTH AND TECHNOLOGY. A new method of diagnosing knee ligament injuries has been developed by researchers at Sahlgrenska Academy and Chalmers University of Technology. The method combines conventional diagnostics with image processing, and researchers hope it can provide both easier and more accurate diagnostics. It is currently being tested in a clinical environment to investigate its accuracy. When a person seeks treatment for knee pain, the first thing clinicians investigate…
European network explores new strategies to combat bacterial infections
DOCTORAL STUDIES. A faster, easier, and cheaper way for healthcare providers to determine the pathogen that caused an infection and ultimately to find new types of antibiotics. These are some of the objectives of a European Union project involving a total of 15 doctoral students. The project also focuses on student mobility and student exchanges. Two of the doctoral students in the program are currently at the Department of infectious…
