Anna Stubbendorff, vid Medicinska fakulteten, är vinnaren av universitetets hållbarhetspris Agenda 2030 Award 2026 för sin forskning om klimatvänlig mat. Hennes forskning visar att när vi lägger klimatvänlig mat på tallriken gynnar det såväl miljön som vår personliga hälsa. I sin doktorsavhandling har Anna Stubbendorff studerat effekterna av EAT-Lancet-dieten, en kosthållning framtagen för att var
När världens ledare samlas till klimattoppmöte i Azerbajdzjan den 11 november är det mot bakgrund av flera nya, dystra värmerekord. Så vad kan vi förvänta oss av COP29? Och hur står det till med klimatet? Vi frågade fyra forskare från Lunds universitet. FörhandlingarnaVärlden ska röra sig bort från fossila bränslen. Det var det historiska beslut som klubbades igenom under förra årets klimattoppmöt

Forskare vid Lunds universitet och DTU i Köpenhamn har upptäckt enzymer i tjocktarmen som, när de blandas med röda blodkroppar, kan klippa bort delar av de kolhydrater som skiljer våra ABO-blodgrupper från varandra. Metoden tar oss närmare drömmen om ett universalblod för alla. Sedan länge är det känt att blod från olika individer inte kan blandas hur som helst utan risk för allvarliga konsekvense

It is not easy to be an urban planner. Cities must be built more densely because surrounding agricultural land and nature must be protected – while at the same time health requirements are high. Over a period of five years researchers at Lund University in Sweden, have closely studied densification plans in three cities and found keys to solving this difficult equation. In short, the solution is t

Researchers at Lund University are developing a new type of gene therapy that reprograms cancer cells within tumors into immune cells that can help the immune system fight cancer. Their approach, now published in the journal Science, could lead to more effective treatments for hard-to-treat cancers. Cancer is known for its ability to hide from the immune system, making it tough to fight. But what

Akademiska Hus is investing around 90 million kronor in an extensive refurbishment of Gamla Kirurgen in the Paradis area of central Lund. The project will see this culturally and historically significant 19th-century building modernised to support future education and research within the Faculty of Social Sciences at Lund University, whilst preserving its unique character. The project forms part o

The investigation into the university's future establishment in Science Village has continued during the spring. Based on board decisions made in December last year at LTH and the Faculty of Science, the project group has worked on producing a report on what is required to achieve critical mass in the area – in addition to the already decided establishment of NanoLab Science Village. On 18 and 19

A new study from Lund University in Sweden suggests that tattoos could be a risk factor for cancer in the lymphatic system, or lymphoma. Now, the researchers underline the need for more research on the topic. Our knowledge regarding the long-term health effects of tattoos is currently poor, and there is not a lot of research within this area. Now a research group at Lund University has investigate

Do you think that people with obesity have themselves to blame? Tune H Pers tries to dispel persistent myths through his research on the brain's role in the development of obesity. The diabetes researcher at the University of Copenhagen is now awarded the LUDC Leif C. Groop award for his research on obesity and type 2 diabetes.

There is a constant war between bacteria and their viruses, bacteriophages, where both try to outsmart each other. An international study led by Lund University provided an important missing bit to the puzzle of how the bacteria defend themselves against phages. This is an important stepping stone towards developing effective phage-based therapies to be used as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacte

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a certain type of cells – foam cells – in patients with the aggressive brain tumour glioblastoma. It has been shown how these cells accelerate the cancer’s growth and that this can be successfully inhibited using a drug developed for arteriosclerosis. Glioblastoma affects around 500 Swedes every year and is the most common and most aggres
