Anna Fossum, Project Manager at the StemTherapy FACS Core Facility research infrastructure, has been sorting cells with a variety of types of FACS machines for the past 23 years. But she hasn’t gotten tired yet of the job – quite the opposite. And now she has a new and more powerful member of the “FACS family” to look after. “I really love my job! It’s stimulating to meet so many people and hear a

Magdalena Götz, a professor of physiology at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, held the prestigious Segerfalk lecture last year. The discovery she made as a young researcher started the new field of direct reprogramming to replace degenerated neurons. Magdalena Götz was about to start her lab and was in the process of conducting a control experiment. What she observed was unexpected. Rather

Obesity and excess weight increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, but individuals of normal weight can also develop the disease. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that it is possible to identify at-risk individuals by measuring BMI in a new way. The authors of the study have identified metabolic changes associated with obesity that can increase the risk of developin

Just before the summer, the Vice-Chancellor decided on Lund University's Green Travel Plan. It highlights the issues the University needs to work on in the future to further enhance its work on sustainable commuting to work and studies. The University's work within CoAction to promote a carbon-neutral Lund, as well as the previous project on sustainable mobility at Lund University, have now result

Today, Times Higher Education (THE) published their latest ranking and Lund University has been ranked 95. This is an improvement of 11 places compared to last year. This means that Lund University has made strong progress in all three major rankings this year. “It’s easy to criticise rankings, but they aim to make sense of the complexity of what a university does and how we are working together t

Offshore wind power is presented as one of the solutions to solve the energy crisis in southern Sweden. But the issue has been met with a "not in my backyard” attitude, as many municipalities say no to the government's decision. LUCSUS researcher Henner Busch, shares his thoughts on how to involve local communities and create a more just energy transition. Earlier this autumn, the Swedish governme

For a decade now, the Rehabilitation Medicine research group’s work on spinal cord injuries (SCI’s) has had a far-reaching impact. In many areas, this is research at the global cutting edge; not least, in terms of following the same group of individuals as they live – and age – with spinal cord injuries. Research grou

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Ninety thousand people die in Sweden every year. Despite 80 percent of Sweden’s population stating they would like to donate their organs after death, fewer than 200 people actually become organ donors each year. Why? This is due to, among other reasons, our limited legislation and organs not being made available beca

Lao Saal has a mission; to make it possible to – just by testing a blood sample – reveal, not only if you have cancer, but also which therapies may be most effective, and how well is the cancer actually responding to treatment. His idea is to trace the genetic material that escapes from tumours and into the blood circulation. “It’s a great feeling when you can go the whole way from having an idea
