Each year, Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies welcomes international Fellows who join our interdisciplinary research groups. The Institute’s coordinator Eva Persson tells us about the programme and why it matters. What is the International Fellows Programme?Experience has shown that the core idea of the Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies holds true: When people with different perspecti

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 in Sweden and the University of Lausanne in Switzerland shows that some of them use up half their annual carbon allowance in a single week. There a

Christina Isaxon has always been interested in how small particles in the air affect our health. As society’s use of nanomaterials increases, research questions about safety are becoming urgent. ‟We need to know more about the conditions in which nanoparticles can affect us and how we can safely handle these materials.” Her research is about understanding how nanoparticles are generated and releas

Researchers from Lund University, together with the Roche pharmaceutical company, have used a method to develop a new blood marker capable of detecting whether or not a person has Alzheimer’s disease. If the method is approved for clinical use, the researchers hope eventually to see it used as a diagnostic tool in primary healthcare. This autumn, they will start a trial in primary healthcare to te

The coast is changing. The sea is encroaching further inland, and the shoreline of childhood memory no longer looks the same. Climate change is impacting beaches and the sea, but time is also a factor. Someone who knows a lot about changes to the Skåne coastline is Caroline Hallin. She is a coastal engineer whose research focuses on erosion, storm surges and nature-adapted coastal protection at th

The complement proteins that circulate in our blood are an important part of our immune system. They help identify bacteria, viruses and other harmful organisms, making it easier for our white blood cells to find and neutralise dangerous microbes. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now discovered a previously unknown function of the central complement protein, C3, which describes how C3

Research from Lund University in Sweden shows that ravens can plan for different types of future events, while also demonstrating self-control and sensitivity to different lengths of time. Such skills are central to humans, and previous research has indicated that they are unique to humans and great apes. The new findings reveal that complex cognition can arise several times independently of commo

Elite ice hockey players with a history of concussion report heightened mental health symptoms, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. In addition, one in five female hockey players suffered symptoms of burnout, and both sexes reported an alcohol consumption at a risk-level. The researchers based their study on Sweden’s two highest hockey divisions for men – the SHL and Hockeyall

Researchers have identified 395 genes that are differently expressed in people with type 2 diabetes. One of the genes proved to be very strongly associated with impaired insulin secretion. Now, researchers want to investigate if it is possible to use the genetic CRISPR/Cas9 scissors to correct the gene’s activity. The research team’s scientific paper was published in the Journal of Clinical Invest

Lund University, Linköping University and Örebro University will together work on developing the next generation of autonomous drone swarms. The initiative has received SEK 60 million in funding from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) over six years and will be coordinated through the newly established Center for Heterogeneous Adaptive Swarm Systems (CHASS). The aim is to develop

Inflammatory responses in the brain have long been suspected of playing a role in Alzheimer’s disease, but are challenging to monitor in the living human brain. An international collaboration including researchers at MultiPark, Lund University has made it possible to detect elevated levels of Galectin-3, a protein expressed in the immune cells inside the brain. The results were published in Acta N

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated.

On 17 December, the Faculty Board decided on the Faculty of Science’s continued work regarding a potential establishment in Science Village. This means that it will not support the continued planning of Nanolab Science Village (Stage 1). The decision is based, among other things, on the report "Assessment of Critical Mass for Establishment in Science Village", which highlights both the opportuniti
