The Center for Advanced Middle Eastern Studies (CMES) at Lund University was inaugurated in 2007 to coordinate and develop education and research working on the region across various disciplines within the university. The purpose of the center is to utilize existing capacities at Lund University and create a new competence at the center to encourage and produce research and academic opportunities

In this group we study how metastatic processes depend on suppression of the immune response and how the immune system actually instead promotes breast cancer metastasis. The research has a strong translational character with clinical collaborations and primary material as base in all projects. The focus is on immunosuppressive cell populations and metastatic processes in breast cancer. Understand

Our research is focused on the regulation of the complement system in health and disease. Complement is crucial part of innate immunity and thus protects host from infections and contributes to removal of dying cells. We study involvement of complement in pathology of rheumatic and inflammatory diseases as well as several types of cancer. Further, we investigate strategies developed by bacterial

Profilområdets forskning bidrar till att förbättra människans hälsa och lösa utmaningar inom sjukvården.

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are widely applied in fields ranging from solid-state lighting and high-resolution displays to optical communication and sensing. Despite their remarkable technological development, conventional thin-film LEDs remain constrained by strain-induced defects from lattice mismatch and restricted light extraction efficiency due to total internal reflection. Exploration of al

Orchids have minute, air-filled seeds and are considered to be efficient dispersers and colonizers. However, empirical studies show that most seeds fall within a metre of the mother plant in orchids, and that individuals standing close to each other are often closely related. A poor contribution to gene dispersal by seeds may be compensated for by more efficient dispersal by pollen, but in autogam

Operation med konstgjorda ledproteser i höft och knä ger generellt mycket lyckade resultat. Fortfarande förekommer dock lossning och slitage av komponenterna som ett problem, och alla patienter blir inte fullt nöjda. I ett flertal forskningsprojekt studerar vi faktorer av betydelse för fixation och funktion av proteskomponenterna. Vi utvärderar hur man optimerar de biomekaniska ledförhållandena viTotal joint replacements, both in the hip and knee, are generally very successful operations. Still, however, component loosening as well as wear remains a problem, and all patients are not fully satisfied with their new joint. In a number of ongoing investigations, we are studying different factors involved in the fixation and function of the prosthesis components. We are exploring how to optimiz
