Our ultimate research vision is to discover, develop and implement novel neuroprotective and neurorestorative therapies for neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, Huntingtons disease and stroke. My group works with translational research that is tightly linked to clinical research questions. Our experimental focus is to understand neurovascular disease mechanisms. We examine the dysfu

Institutionen för arkeologi och antikens historia bedriver forskning och utbildning inom fyra ämnen – antikens kultur och samhällsliv, arkeologi, historisk arkeologi och historisk osteologi. Institutionen har funnits i olika former vid Lunds universitet sedan 1805 men fick sin nuvarande sammansättning 2001. Sedan 2016 rymmer institutionen även Laboratoriet för digital arkeologi (DARKLab), en infraThe Department of Archaeology and Ancient History conducts research and education in four subjects – Classical Archaeology and Ancient History, Archaeology, Historical Archaeology and Historical Osteology. The department has existed in various forms at Lund University since 1805 but was given its current composition in 2001. Since 2016, the department also houses the Laboratory for Digital Archaeo

How can cities and communities around the world become more sustainable? What can we do as researchers to help them? As we move through the twenty-first century, these questions assume ever-greater importance. Many of the quickest wins for human and planetary health involve reimagining and reconfiguring cities. Activities that generate negative impacts like air pollution and poor health are concen

Enheten för kognitiv sjukdomsforskning är en translationell forskargrupp med fokus på neurodegenerativa och neuropsykiatriska sjukdomar såsom Alzheimers sjukdom, demens med Lewy-kroppar, Parkinsons sjukdom, frontallobsdemens och depression. Vår forskning är patientnära, vilket möjliggörs då gruppen består av neurobiologer, läkare, statistiker, farmaceuter, sjuksköterskor, fysio- och arbetsterapeutCognitive disorder research unit is a translational research group focusing on neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinsons disease, Frontal lobe dementia and Major depression. Our approach is strongly patient-oriented, which is strengthen by our wide variety of professional backgrounds including neurobiologists, physicians, st

Cholesterol-rich clusters of SNARE (soluble NSF attachment protein receptor) proteins have been implicated as being important for exocytosis. Here we demonstrate the significance of cholesterol for normal biphasic insulin secretion in mouse beta cells by removal of cholesterol from the plasma membrane using methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MBCD). Maximal inhibition of insulin secretion in static incubati

Its topics, methods and theories originate from various disciplines, including comparative literature, book history, cultural studies, digital humanities, media and communicati

Anders Bjartell är forskargruppsledare för den här forskargruppenTranslational research on prostate cancer: Identification of molecular targets for development of new therapies in chemo- and hormone resistant prostate cancer. This includes: 1) In vitro studies and animal models. 2) Development and validation of biomarkers in tissue, blood and urine including circulating tumor cells. 3) Biobanking. 4) Clinical studies on imaging biomarkers for prognosis, predict

Näthinnan (Retina) är en del av det centrala nervsystemet och består till största delen av specialiserade nervceller. Vid degenerativ näthinnesjukdom, t.ex retinitis pigmentosa, åldersrelaterad makuladegeneration, näthinneavlossning och glaukom förstörs nervceller vilket resulterar i idag icke behandlingsbar synnedsättning. Traditionellt undersöks ofta sjukdom och behandling inom CNS experimentellTraditionally, experimental neuronal research is conducted on single cells after disruption of the tissue. A more pertinent approach to the complex CNS is to consider cells, extracellular matrix, and cell junctions as a tissue continuum through which mechanical and biochemical information is bidirectionally communicated. Our research is focused on retinal cell interactions in health and disease, a

Avdelningen består av etnologi (se ämnesbeskrivning nedan)The research in ethnology has two primary orientations, both of which work with historical as well as contemporary perspectives. The first orientation focuses on practices of everyday life – that is to say the study of what people do in their daily lives and how such activities constitute the grounds for different cultural patters of thought and societal values. Research in this area of study prob

Vid avdelningen bedrivs forskning inom följande huvudområden: Konstruktioners säkerhet och tillförlitlighet. Träkonstruktioner, speciellt inverkan av miljöbetingade påverkningar. Betongkonstruktioner, speciellt avseende tillförlitlighet samt spricktillväxt. Datorstöd och informationsteknologi i projektering och byggande.
