We are pleased to report that the University’s fruit baskets are now 100% organic in terms of total purchases. At the same time, the proportion of organic or Fairtrade-certified coffee and tea has fallen slightly since last year. Purchases of organic milk and butter products, as well as powdered drinks, have also declined. We need to work together to increase this proportion so that we are in line

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Heatwaves similar to those experienced in Europe in 2018 can have a very negative impact on animals. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that overheated birds have smaller offspring, and that those that are born may have lower chances of survival. Researchers were already aware that animals living in very

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. When David Gisselsson Nord, a cancer researcher at Lund University in Sweden, read a history book last summer, he was struck by the similarities between how cancer and insurgencies evolve over time. Could military strategy be used as inspiration for cancer treatment? He teamed up with Robert Egnell at the Swedish Defe

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In their quest to find new and better methods to make cancer cells more susceptible to treatment, Karin Lindkvist and her research group at Lund University in Sweden are looking into the world of molecules, using the X-rays at the MAX IV laboratory. The researchers believe that limiting the cells' access to sugar will

Mikael Akke, Göran Jönsson, Sara Linse and Mathieu Gisselbrecht of Lund University in Sweden have been awarded considerable grants from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. Over a five-year period, they will conduct major projects on allosteric signalling, more effective immunotherapy, secretive helper proteins and quantum entanglement. Mikael Akke, professor of biophysical chemistry, receive

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. As resistance to existing antibiotics increases, new approaches to serious bacterial infections are needed. Now researchers at Lund University in Sweden, together with colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) in the US, have investigated one such alternative. “We were able to show that a tai

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a water purification plant that provides clean water far beyond the reach of the electrical grid – thanks to solar cells. With the help of Nobel Peace Prize recipient Muhammad Yunus, these small and portable solar cell stations have now been placed across rural B

Three researchers from Lund University in Sweden have been awarded grants by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation totalling SEK 87 million for research on the semiconductors for the future, our immunological memory and next-generation immunotherapies. The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation has awarded SEK 835 million in grants to 30 projects in medicine, the natural sciences and engineering

Is it possible to improve the antibodies that the body produces to fight SARS-CoV2? In a study led by researchers from Lund University in Sweden, this was investigated by redesigning antibodies and combining them against the virus. The modified antibodies have been tested in human cells and with mice. Many antibodies used to treat covid infection during the pandemic have been so-called neutralizin

Geologists at Lund University in Sweden have mapped 300 years of research on the prehistoric marine reptiles known as ichthyosaurs. Using a uniquely well-preserved fossil, the team has also created the scientifically most up-to-date reconstruction of an ichthyosaur currently available. Fish lizards, or ichthyosaurs, were a very successful group of animals that, much like today's whales, migrated f

On-trend clothes that you only wear a few times – in the beginning of the 2000s the fashion industry started speeding up production. Today, it accounts for around 10 per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions and criticism is being directed at the industry for not taking responsibility for its social and environmental impact. The big question is; can fashion become sustainable? Technological deve

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. If you have ever sniffed yourself dizzy at a perfume counter, you have perhaps also come across claims that pH values, fragrance notes and pheromones affect the scent. Are these and other claims true? And what is it that actually makes us smell nice – or nasty? Chemistry Professor Ulf Ellervik separates the scents fro

Clay is a material that has been used since ancient times for protecting, building and carrying things. If we learn more about how to change various properties of clays, such as through the addition of certain molecules or salts, we can use them for new and sustainable products in the fields of medicine, architecture and building materials. The strategic research area eSSENCE supports a new collab

Our memory records details and detects patterns in everyday life - often without us even realising it. Researchers at Lund University have for the first time succeeded in showing that the brain does both these things simultaneously in real time. To investigate this, everyday situations from the computer game The Sims were used to understand how we process information in real life. We rely on our m

Is it possible to convert a patient’s own skin cells into functioning nerve cells? Or insert healthy genes to reprogram the cells of a damaged brain? Stem cell researcher Malin Parmar at Lund University in Sweden is studying these types of issues, in close collaboration with clinical researchers. She is now awarded a prize of SEK 100 000 from the Eric K. Fernström Foundation for her work. Every ye

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A chance meeting in a Yokohama pub led Lund University researcher Andreas Johansson straight to the heart of the Japanese Yakuza mafia. For two weeks, he was “embedded” with a well-known Yakuza clan, enabling him to document their tattoos through photography. He is now releasing his book of photos ”Yakuza Tattoo”. In
