This year, the Mats Paulsson Foundation is awarding grants to eight outstanding research projects, two of which are led by researchers at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center. The projects include an advanced cancer treatment using cellular reprogramming and a platform for the development of new cell therapies. On 24 October 2025, at an awards ceremony at Medicon Village, six researchers from t
Less than ten per cent of energy intake from food should come from added sugar, according to the current Nordic Nutrition Recommendations. For adults, this corresponds to approximately 50–75 grams of added sugar per day and one can of soft drink contains approximately 30 grams of sugar. “Drinking soft drinks is not necessarily dangerous for a particular individual, however, at the group level, acr

Tolibjon Mustafoev, PhD candidate at Lund University For the last few decades, Uzbekistan has been a popular research destination for many scholars studying authoritarian regimes. Indeed, the first president of Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov, had been in power from the first days of independence in 1991 until September 2016. Karimov was known for his policies on closed economy, high bureaucracy, centra
How do you make the regional craft beer industry more sustainable? Through direct collaboration with the sector to create “hyperlocal” solutions say researchers from LUCSUS who are growing hops at a local brewery in Skåne, Sweden. The aim is to test ways to decrease greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to regional, circular economies. WATCH VIDEO: – We are testing different indoor growing alte

Does green growth exist? Can we achieve a sustainable society with a GDP that grows year after year? Not if you ask Timothée Parrique. He is the economist who defied all the good advice and chose to research degrowth. Now his thesis has been downloaded 27,000 times, and he is a sought-after lecturer worldwide. At the end of February this year, renowned economist Paul Krugman wrote a column in the

Farshid Jalalvand has a PhD in infection biology and vaccine development, and he has appeared frequently in the media during the debate on the Covid-19 vaccine. “When you work, as I do, with vaccines and you understand how they work, it feels important to try to explain it so that people can take decisions based on solid evidence”, he says. A lot of the criticism against vaccines occurs on social

Several of the Faculty's departments will elect a new department board this year. It is a long process that is preceded by nominations and elections to a nomination committee. In parallel, the process of appointing a new Head of Department is also ongoing. But what does the board do and why is it important to participate in the process? Here is what our Heads of department say. Why is it important

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as ‘junk’ and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show that the repetitive part of the human genome plays an active role during early brain development and may also be relevant for understanding brain diseases. DNA carries the complete set of instructions an organism

About 540 million years ago, our planet suddenly erupted with life, filling our oceans with a diversity of complex life. This is known as the Cambrian explosion, and for a long time scientists agreed it was triggered by a rise in oxygen levels in the atmosphere. But new research from Emma Hammarlund at Lund University is turning the tables completely on what scientists thought they knew to be true

"Empowerment of vulnerable groups is unlikely to arise through interventions from climate adaptation projects only. Yet, often these projects are seen as drivers for social change", says Stephen Woroniecki, PHD-candidate at LUCSUS. He says that, in a warming and increasingly unequal world, more and more people are on the lookout for integrated, holistic, solutions that can move beyond the siloes
