UiB has received 5.3 million euros from the EU for the PRoRota project, which will investigate whether probiotics, better hygiene education and mathematical models can reduce child mortality related to diarrhea in low- and middle-income countries. The project tests whether probiotics can improve the effect of the rotavirus vaccine in a large study with 4,000 newborns in Tanzania, Malawi and Ivory Coast. In addition, a warning system for rotavirus outbreaks is being developed and research is being conducted on how WASH routines can work better in practice.
UiB will receive over 170 million kroner from the Research Council in December for new innovation centers and research projects within health, technology, the seabed, society and top research.
Lipids build the membranes that surround the cell and separate its internal compartments from each other. This is what gives each compartment in the cell its own identity and makes normal cell function possible. For this system to work, lipids must constantly be transported precisely between different membranes. This is a process that scientists have long had limited understanding of.
The research program at the Faculty of Medicine is currently recruiting students from the 2025 cohort for admission in the fall of 2026. The faculty encourages research communities to submit project proposals that are suitable for the research program, and reminds that the students are motivated, but often without previous research experience and therefore need close follow-up at the beginning.
