New research results now published from Lund University’s MASAI trial are even better than the initial findings from last year: AI-supported breast screening detected 29 per cent more cases of cancer compared with traditional screening. More invasive cancers were also clearly detected at an early stage using AI. Now the final part of the research study will focus on breast cancer missed by screeni

Work is slowly starting back up again after a long and much-needed break. Before I turn my attention to what lies ahead, I would like to begin by looking back briefly. At the end of last autumn, I travelled to Chicago, partly to visit my son, who is an exchange student at Illinois Institute of Technology, and partly to visit the University of Chicago to explore potential collaborations. The timing

Have you noticed that when scientists are asked whether or not a particular extreme weather event is due to climate change, they usually respond with something like "It fits the pattern, but we can't say for sure that this particular event is worse because of climate change"? Weather attribution is a new phenomenon that is changing this. Climate scientist Wilhelm May at Lund University helps us ge

Art and culture help us to understand society and ourselves. Lund University, with its artistic and cultural knowledge formation, has a key role to play in this. A new Cultural Council has now been formed to act both as a forum for ideas and a discussion partner in this work. “There are entirely new, fresh eyes that see our cultural richness, that see opportunities and connections associated with

In an infection, there are tens of thousands of peptides that provide a wealth of information about which bacteria have caused the infection and how severe it is. A research team at Lund University has now combined clinical questions with mathematical methods to systematically analyze these peptides. This scientific breakthrough has the potential to transform the diagnosis and treatment of infecti

It has previously been difficult to identify DNA mutations in sperm, as these changes are rare, and most sequencing techniques have a large margin of error. Now a research study led from Lund University, have conducted a pilot study in which they examined sperm DNA and it’s similarity to mutations in children, using the advanced technique called duplex sequencing. Nearly 80 percent of all new muta

Obesity is a common cause of diabetes, heart disease and early death, but risk differs greatly from one person to the next. In work led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden as part of the Innovative Medicine Initiative project SOPHIA, a pioneering clinical risk prediction algorithm has been developed that splits obesity into 5 separate diagnostic profiles each with contrasting health conseq

One in three patients is asked about their lifestyle habits when they visit the outpatient healthcare clinics. This figure really ought to be higher, according to Professors Hanne Tønnesen and Inger Kristensson Hallström, who are in charge of the WHO Collaborating Centre at Lund University.
