By presenting cancer research as a battle between good and evil – and himself as a hacker attacking cells to make them kind, PhD student Luís Oliveira took home the win in the Researchers' Grand Prix. His win is the fifth in a row for Lund University and the second in a row for Lund Stem Cell Center - in the competition where researchers from all over the country challenge each other in presentati

Klimatfrågan är en av vår tids största globala samhällsutmaningar. I det arbetet är forskningen om vart klimatet är på väg en viktig del. Både för att kunna följa att de utsläppsminskningar som världens länder avtalat om i Paris 2015 verkligen får en effekt, men också för att vara bättre förberedda på de klimatförändringar som vi inte kommer att kunna undvika. En klimatmodell utvecklad av forskare

For hundreds of years, people have made a living from livestock herding in rural Kenya. Today, their traditional way of life is increasingly burdened by the effects of climate change and population growth. In his doctoral thesis, Billy Jones examines why development aid projects in the region often fail – and how sustainable progress could instead be achieved with the help of local actors. Thirtee

When the Swedish Research Council announced funding for so-called "centres of excellence" almost three years ago, a total of 15 new initiatives were approved across Sweden. Only one of them was awarded to Lund: COMMONS – Commonalities in biomembrane and biomolecular interactions.A year has now passed since COMMONS was inaugurated with a ceremony at the Department of Chemistry. What has happened si

Alicia N'Guetta is a PhD student working across two LUCSUS projects, MaCoBios and DICE. Her research focuses on climate change adaptation, livelihood, loss and damage, and gender in Martinique, an overseas department of France situated in the Caribbean Sea. Using a gender lens, she will explore how climate change impact on marine coastal ecosystems services affect livelihoods and how adaptation st

Since the invasion of Ukraine, Central Asian migrant workers in Russia have seen fewer job opportunities and lower salaries. Among those trying their luck elsewhere, Turkey has become a popular alternative, especially for women. Sociologists of law Rustamjon Urinboyev and Sherzod Eraliev recently published a book comparing the everyday lives of labour migrants in Russia and Turkey. Central Asia -

Lotta Gränse, ophthalmologist and researcher Lund University and Skåne University Hospital has demonstrated that eye drops containing cortisone can prevent the development of the very serious eye disease ROP in infants. This has revolutionised treatment and means that the majority of children in Sweden’s Southern Healthcare Region with severe ROP do not need conventional treatment under anaesthesi

Physics researchers at Lund University in Sweden recently succeeded in constructing small solar radiation-collecting antennas – nanowires – using three different materials that are a better match for the solar spectrum compared with today’s silicon solar cells. As the nanowires are light and require little material per unit of area, they are now to be installed for tests on satellites, which are p

Ökade temperaturer i samband med klimatförändringar får nu CASE:s forskare att identifiera utmaningar och utveckla åtgärder för att mildra och hantera extremhetta. Den 19 mars träffas de i en workshop som leds av Andrew Karvonen, professor vid Urban Design and Planning vid LTH. Sedan den massiva värmeböljan i Europa i augusti 2003 har forskare undersökt hur städer planerar för kylande åtgärder. De

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt en direkt länk mellan den ansamling av protein i vissa nervceller som är typiska för neurodegenerativa sjukdomar, och genregleringen vid Huntingtons sjukdom. Resultaten öppnar för utveckling av nya behandlingsstrategier vid sjukdomar där den grundläggande mekanism som gör att kroppens celler kan bryta ner och återvinna egna beståndsdelar försämras. Denna
