For the next four years, Camilla Davids from Namibia will share her time between Lund and Cape Town thanks to the "Double PhD-programme”. With the guidance of supervisors Gabriela Godaly and Reto Guler, Davids will focus on a project on alternative treatment methods for tuberculosis, an important research area at a time when antibiotic resistance is on the rise globally. When the call for seeding

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Traditionally, the evolutionary development of an insect species has been explained by the notion that the female insect chooses her male partner based on size and other factors, so-called assortative mating. These mating patterns have also been believed to partially explain how the isolation between different species

Scientists at Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC) have now been able to demonstrate why this happens, as well as how the destructive chain can be broken. This discovery represents a crucial step towards an ef

 A new study from Lund confirms that pesticides commonly used in farmland significantly harm bumblebees. Data from 106 sites across 8 European countries show that despite tightened pesticide regulations, more needs to be done.Despite claims of the world's most rigorous risk assessment process, the use of approved pesticides in European agricultural landscapes still negatively affects non-target or

Can you tell us a little about your research area? How would you describe your work?I am primarily a clinician and my research questions emerge from what I encounter in everyday life with my patients. The interest in arthrosis in particular was awakened through my work with patients who have wrist arthrosis. I saw that there was a lack of studies comparing the outcome of wrist arthroplasty versus

Climate researchers often emphasise the fact that reducing carbon emissions is in everyone’s best interest, and should involve all of us. But how good are they at minimising their own carbon footprint? A new study carried out jointly by Lund University and the University of Lausanne in Switzerland shows that some of them use up half their annual carbon allowance in a single week. There are ways to

International law supports women’s right to breastfeed in the public. However, women report having been subjected to negative responses and judgmental looks when breastfeeding outside the home. This is according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, based on surveys answered by women living in Sweden, Ireland and Australia. The researchers behind the study say that societies everywhere ne

For breast cancer to be fatal, the tumour has to send out metastases to other parts of the body. The cancer cells are spread via the blood vessels, and a research team at Lund University in Sweden has now proven that the protein ALK1 determines the extent of the tumour’s spread in the body. The higher the levels of the protein on the surface of the blood vessels, the greater their permeability to

It was previously thought that damage to the neural pathways was the sole cause of the motor problems that are typical after a brain injury or stroke. However, new research led by researcher at Lund and Uppsala Universities in Sweden now shows that hormones released after these injuries appear to contribute in a dramatic way. The results indicate that hormone-blocking drugs could be used to counte

LUCSUS Director Barry Ness and Professor Lennart Olsson are proud that Lund University is ranked third in the world in Sustainability in the QS World University Rankings. It is a ranking well deserved they say. – Over the past 25 years, researchers at Lund University have been pioneers in the interdisciplinary field of sustainability studies. In 2008, when the Faculty of Social Sciences establishe

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Research from Lund University in Sweden can explain why type 2 diabetes is inherited to a greater extent from an individual’s mother. The heredity of a previously known risk gene, THADA, has proven to be dominant if it comes from the mother, whereas it has little or no effect on the child’s risk of disease if it origi

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. When a patient is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, the disease has usually already progressed over several years and damage to areas such as blood vessels and eyes has already taken place. To find a test that indicates who is at risk at an early stage would be valuable, as it would enable preventive treatment to be pTe

Only males among the fish species crucian carp have developed a strategy to protect themselves from hungry predators, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. The explanation could lie in that the surrounding environment affects the stress system in males and females differently.
