Southern Scandinavia and Northern Germany form a leading life science region with unique research infrastructures that can help transform research into innovation. There is especially a large unused potential for industrial and clinical researchers to use these unique facilities. The HALRIC consortium led by Lund University has now received EU funding to build collaborations between companies, hos

Almost half of all dementia cases can be attributed to risk factors that we potentially can influence ourselves, such as smoking and high blood pressure. A new study from Lund University shows which risk factors are associated with two of our most common causes of dementia – Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. During our lifetime, the risk of developing dementia is influenced by aspects tha

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have carried out the most detailed mapping to date of the epigenome in the cells that regulate the body’s blood sugar levels. The study, published in Nature Metabolism, shows how chemical changes to DNA affect both insulin-producing beta cells and glucagon-producing alpha cells – and how these patterns change in type 2 diabetes. All cells in the body have t

There were fewer cases of breast cancer between two screening rounds, and of the cancers that did develop, fewer were advanced or aggressive. The final results from Lund University's MASAI trial are now available, and they show further benefits of AI-supported breast cancer screening. The study has already shown that AI support in mammography screening contributes to a 29 percent increase in detec

Researchers from Lund University in Sweden collected wild flatworms from Malmö’s largest park, Pildammsparken. These creatures are masters at regenerating after injury. Now, for the first time, the worms’ unique ability to regenerate has been harnessed to help accelerate wound healing in human skin models. A research team at Lund University was recently contacted by researchers at a Korean skincar

Lund University is driving a unique initiative to recruit top international researchers. Help us to convince prospective colleagues from around the world to choose Lund. In recent times, many countries have seen a decline in opportunities to conduct research and get a university education. This is due to cutbacks in grants as well as stricter immigration rules that have made it more difficult for

This year’s report from the V-Dem Institute’s Academic Freedom Index focuses in particular on the institutional autonomy of higher education institutions in different countries, which in turn is fundamental to the protection of individual academic freedom.  This includes countries such as Hungary, which began its steady decline from a high ranking in institutional autonomy in 2009 to a bottom-of-t
