Hur mycket vatten behöver vi dricka för att vi ska hålla oss friska? Vilken effekt får olika dieter på ämnesomsättningen? Studier av olika hormoner i kroppen ger diabetesforskare nya svar. Förhoppningen är att utveckla individanpassade behandlingar och kostråd som kan minska risken att utveckla fetma och sjukdomar som typ 2-diabetes. Hormonsystemet samarbetar med nervsystemet och styr mycket av de
Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Den unge journalisten hade mer än hundra timmar intervjuer med den förre sovjetiske spionchefen. Det skulle bli en memoarbok men tiden sprang iväg och plötsligt var marknaden mättad på sovjetkommunistiska bekännelser. Tjugo år senare har vinden vänt. Så det blir en bok, men inga memoarer – för nu är det inte en ung

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. För drygt hundrafemtio år sedan blev det lika viktigt att forska som att undervisa. Universitetsläraren blev ”vetenskapsman” och den nya yrkesrollen hjälpte akademikern att klättra på samhällsstegen. Hur ser det ut i dag? Forskning är fortfarande högsta prioritet och anslagen har aldrig varit så stora som nu. Men ha

Five questions to Anna Meyer, who just had her thesis defence. What is you research about? My work concerns the changing disease and mortality patterns among the old in Sweden since the 1990s. Using nationwide register data I explore how the occurrence and survival of different diseases has changed in the total population and in different groups (e.g. socioeconomic groups, men and women, or health

In the autumn, I hope we in the university management can focus on the core issues that we want to drive forward. It has been a very unusual start for the new University Management, strongly characterised by the ongoing pandemic. I hope that developments now go in the right direction and that within the University Management we can focus more on the core issues that we want to drive forward. The c

Turning scientific knowledge into solutions that improve people’s lives is the ultimate goal of research. But the path from novel scientific data to an innovation that may impact health care is long; many promising ideas never get a fair chance. For 16 years, MultiPark Innovation has supported researchers in their first efforts in transforming discoveries into inventions that may benefit patients
