Arbetet med Lunds universitets etablering i Science Village har fortsatt under året, men med en ny inriktning. I slutet av förra året beslutade LTH:s och naturvetenskapliga fakultetens styrelser att inte gå vidare med scenario 5 – en samlokalisering av fysiska institutionen och kemiska institutionen i området – på grund av kostnadsskäl och utmaningen att ha utbildning på två olika platser.

Stora Gerontologipriset går i år till Marianne Rundström, SWEAH-ledamot och tidigare nyhetsankare på SVT, nu frilans och mycket engagerad i frågor om åldrande. I veckan tar hon emot priset på en nordisk gerontologikonferens i Stockholm. Grattis! Varför tror du att just du får priset?– Jag har en fördel med min bakgrund och är igenkänd. Jag har arenor där jag har drivit de här frågorna. I till exem

Innovation och framgångsrika lärosäten går hand i hand. På rak arm är det svårt att komma på något välrenommerat universitet som inte är duktig på innovationsfrågor. Vid Lunds universitet har vi under lång tid arbetat med innovationsfrågor på många olika sätt, inte minst vad gäller forskningsresultat som i sin tur resulterat i företag i form av start-ups. Många av dessa företag har även kunnat ta

Lampans LED-teknik framhålls ofta för sina fördelar – att den är energisnål, att den håller länge och att tekniken går att styra på olika sätt. Men att LED-lampan kan ge upphov till flimmer nämns inte lika ofta. En av anledningarna är att det saknas kunskap om hur fenomenet ska mätas och hur hälsan påverkas. Det vill ljusforskarna vid LTH ändra på, och presenterar nu en serie rapporter om flimmer.

I år arrangerades för första gången Swedish University Pitch Competition för studenter som är engagerade i finansföreningar vid svenska lärosäten. Finansföreningen LINC stod värd för tävlingen och ett av deras lag tog hem segern. Hej Ture Eknor, ordförande i LINC! Kan du berätta om Swedish University Pitch Competition?– Allt började egentligen med att ordföranden för några utav Sveriges mest aktiv

Do you think that people with obesity have themselves to blame? Tune H Pers tries to dispel persistent myths through his research on the brain's role in the development of obesity. The diabetes researcher at the University of Copenhagen is now awarded the LUDC Leif C. Groop award for his research on obesity and type 2 diabetes. This year's recipient Tune H Pers investigates, among other things, th

There is a constant war between bacteria and their viruses, bacteriophages, where both try to outsmart each other. An international study led by Lund University provided an important missing bit to the puzzle of how the bacteria defend themselves against phages. This is an important stepping stone towards developing effective phage-based therapies to be used as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacte

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a certain type of cells – foam cells – in patients with the aggressive brain tumour glioblastoma. It has been shown how these cells accelerate the cancer’s growth and that this can be successfully inhibited using a drug developed for arteriosclerosis. Glioblastoma affects around 500 Swedes every year and is the most common and most aggres

The Swedish Research Council has identified Lund University as a key actor in the next generation of strategic research areas. The university is proposed to be included in six new national research environments. “Lund University is building research for the future. The fact that the Swedish Research Council has identified us in six of eight new areas is clear proof that our research is of the high

A new study from Lund University in Sweden suggests that tattoos could be a risk factor for cancer in the lymphatic system, or lymphoma. Now, the researchers underline the need for more research on the topic. Our knowledge regarding the long-term health effects of tattoos is currently poor, and there is not a lot of research within this area. Now a research group at Lund University has investigate

The investigation into the university's future establishment in Science Village has continued during the spring. Based on board decisions made in December last year at LTH and the Faculty of Science, the project group has worked on producing a report on what is required to achieve critical mass in the area – in addition to the already decided establishment of NanoLab Science Village. On 18 and 19
