Nordic Centre of Excellence in Photovoltaics (NCOE in PV)
- 2008
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A NCoE in PV has been formed by seven research institutions in the Nordic region. The centre is funded by Nordic Energy Research, Renewable Energy Corporation ASA, Elkem Solar AS, Solibro Research AB, Topsil A/S, Energinet.dk, and Luvata as well as the participating research organisations. The main objective is to strengthen the already formed Nordic R&D network and to serve the fast-growing and demanding Nordic PV industry. This will be achieved by educating PhD students with compulsory mobility of the students, arranging general workshops within solar cell research, organizing in-depth workshops on selected topics, giving hands-on workshops on processing of solar cells, and actively disseminate results both in public and scientific media channels.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have identified multiple loci at which common variants modestly but reproducibly influence risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D)(1-11). Established associations to common and rare variants explain only a small proportion of the heritability of T2D. As previously published analyses had limited power to identify variants with modest effects, we carried out meta-analysis of three T2D GWA scans comprising 10,128 individuals of European descent and similar to 2.2 million SNPs (directly genotyped and imputed), followed by replication testing in an independent sample with an effective sample size of up to 53,975. We detected at least six previously unknown loci with robust evidence for association, including the JAZF1 (P=5.0 x 10(-14)), CDC123-CAMK1D (P=1.2 x 10(-10)), TSPAN8-LGR5 (P=1.1 x 10(-9)), THADA (P=1.1 x 10(-9)), ADAMTS9 (P=1.2 x 10(-8)) and NOTCH2 (P=4.1 x 10(-8)) gene regions. Our results illustrate the value of large discovery and follow-up samples for gaining further insights into the inherited basis of T2D.
