Lund University is establishing a university-wide development center for advanced therapies, LU-ATMP. It is an effort to move medical research with the potential for new groundbreaking therapies to reach patient groups where traditional medicines are not enough. "We want to contribute to the vision of Sweden becoming a world leader in the development and availability of advanced therapies," says E

Olof the bird – a stuffed bird of prey with a stern expression – currently stands in the heart of The Science Student Union (LUNA), keeping watch over students’ discussions and union activities. But few are eager to get too close. A sign next to him warns that his plumage contains arsenic.  The warning has become a talking point – is Olof really so toxic that he should be placed behind protective

In a debate forum a week or so ago, an international panel discussed how museums, art and culture can be used in teaching. The event was organised, for all those interested, by Lund University’s Division for Higher Education Development (AHU) in collaboration with Lena Örnberg within the Object-Based Learning (OBL) project. The meeting was held online and the panel participants were real experts i

Roach that migrate between different lakes and water courses have larger pupils and better eyesight than roach that stay in one place. The adaptation makes it easier for the red-eyed freshwater migrants to find food in murky waters. This is shown in a large study from Lund University in Sweden. Animals’ eyes, just like those of humans, are a kind of window to the world. Eyesight controls important

Recent discoveries have shown that it is possible to convert one cell type into another, typically by forced expression of lineage specific transcription factors. That is why MultiPark researchers with expertise in reprogramming gather across research groups. Cellular reprogramming is a new special interest group (SIG) addressing scientific and technological needs to apply these methods in researc

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Annika Bergman Rosamond har författat artikeln 'Music, mining and colonisation: Sámi contestations of Sweden’s self narrative,’ publicerad i ett specialnummer om politik och musik i danska statsvetenskapliga tidskriften Politik, Vol. 23:1, 2020. Sweden’s dominant self-narrative has tended to marginalise its historic

This spring, several students from Malmö Academy of Music are participating in so-called ”short mobilities”. These are short international exchanges that usually last between a few days and two weeks. Here, four of them share insights from their intensive week at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre. In the beginning of March, four students from Malmö Academy of Music, Karin Axelsson, David

During the excursion week this spring, Master’s students from the Department of Geology visited Öland and the Danish town of Faxe. This year there was also a new location in the programme. Students had the opportunity to learn more about the Cretaceous period and its fossil remains in the bat-filled Tykarp Cave, which is actually an old limestone mine. Anders Lindskog and Johan Lindgren suddenly c

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. LUM managed to sneak in an interview with Carita Håkansson before she packs her bags for a hiking trip in Greece. For the first time in many years she has the chance once more to do what she loves the most – to experience nature and landscapes on foot. Thanks to a transplant, she is living a new life.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Off the coast at Haväng, forests several thousands of years old are hidden below the sea. When researchers dive down to examine the well-preserved tree-trunks, they are literally diving deep into human history. Arne Sjöström gets ready for another sea dive. The morning sun is glittering on the calm surface of the Balt

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new research article from the project DICE, Recasting the Disproportionate Impacts of Climate Change Extremes, frames loss and damage from climate change as the failure of society's ability to maintain a sustainable development. Chad Boda, researcher at LUCSUS, explains how this framing opens up discussions on what

A study conducted by researchers at Lund University has found that protein oxidation forms an additional layer of regulation during the development of fetal blood stem cells and may play a role in the development of leukemia. The results are now available in the journal, Redox Biology. The human body is made up of trillions of cells and within each are proteins - large, complex molecules that play

Modern computers are a triumph of technology. A single computer chip contains billions of nanometre-scaled transistors that operate extremely reliably and at a rate of millions of operations per second. However, this high speed and reliability come at the cost of significant energy consumption: data centres and household IT appliances like computers and smartphones account for around 3% of global

The Association of Swedish Higher Education Institutions (SUHF) has produced three reports that highlight key issues it regards as threats to the activities of higher education institutions. A fourth report on governance in higher education will be published after the summer. The other reports concern academic freedom, increased bureaucratisation and the reliance of research on external funding. T
