Welcome to a new series of interviews where our prominent researchers take centre stage. This week: an interview with Jonathan Coquet

After a detailed and lengthy investigation, the Vice-Chancellor of Karolinska Institutet has pronounced his decision on a high-profile case of claimed scientific misconduct. Vice-Chancellor Anders Hamsten has concluded that while on some points Visiting Professor Paolo Macchiarini did act without due care, it does not qualify as scientific misconduct.

Erik Norberg at the Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, is awarded the Malin and Lennart Philipson Foundation prize 2015 for his “interesting and creative studies of alternations in the metabolism in cancer cells”. The prize is awarded in alternate years at Uppsala University and Karolinska Institutet respectively.

The SciLifeLab laboratories on the Solna campus stand adjacent to the offices, and only a few paces separate Anita Aperia’s group’s white lab coats from their desks. Pernilla Lagergren and her group, on the other hand, do all their research on computers and so have no laboratory to go to.
