Scientific researchers are not usually known for their entrepreneurship. However, at the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science, there is an innovative group of experts who have developed a tool that can help stakeholders in society when flooding occurs. The sun is beating down on Sölvegatan as a barefooted Professor Petter Pilesjö opens the door to the GIS Centre. It has not raine

The Central Administration’s aim is to offer the best possible support for the University’s operations. In order to do this, we need to continuously review the organisation and working methods so that optimum support is provided while balancing the budget. Based on this, a number of changes are being made. One example is that the major part of the support relating to contract education will be mov

Forskaren Emma Hammarlund insåg att geologiska mätmetoder även kan användas i medicinskt syfte. Med ett enkelt prov på hårstrån, hoppas hon kunna hitta cancer i ett tidigt skede. Först ut i studien är prostatacancer och bröstcancer. Nu har hennes projekt valts ut till Kungliga ingenjörsvetenskapsakademins (IVA) 100-lista. På listan finns även åtta andra forskningsprojekt från Lunds universitet, va

Ett internationellt forskarsamarbete lett från Lunds universitet visar hur magnesium tar sig in och ut genom cellmembranet. Magnesium är en livsviktig mineral som påverkar en rad biologiska processer i kroppen. Ämnet har bland annat betydelse för att cellernas energikraftverk, mitokondrierna, ska kunna producera och tillgodogöra sig kroppens energimolekyl, ATP.  När mitokondrierna inte fungerar ka

I en studie som publicerats i Nature Medicine visar forskare att ett blodprov, som inom kort blir tillgängligt i USA, är lika träffsäkert – och i vissa fall överlägset – ryggvätskeprov. – Vi hoppas på att liknande test kommer att kunna användas i sjukvården i Sverige innan årets slut, säger Oskar Hansson, professor i neurologi vid Lunds universitet och en av forskarna bakom den internationella stu

Ett interaktivt digitalt system för att kontrollera blodtrycket gör att fler får ett kontrollerat blodtryck. Det visar distriktsläkaren Ulrika Andersson i sin avhandling vid Lunds universitet. Drygt 900 patienter vid 31 vårdcentraler i södra Sverige har deltagit i studien. Samtliga var redan patienter och behandlades för högt blodtryck. Högt blodtryck är en folksjukdom som ungefär varannan person

Neuroblastom är en tumörsjukdom som främst drabbar små barn. Överlevnaden är den lägsta av alla barncancerformer. Nu har en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet upptäckt att en specifik gen är kopplad till sämre prognos. Studien publiceras i tidskriften Science Advances. Varje år insjuknar runt tjugo barn i Sverige i tumörsjukdomen neuroblastom. Tumörerna växer i det sympatiska nervsystemet som börj

Personlighet och sociala relationer har större betydelse för välbefinnandet än faktorer som inkomst. Detta visar en ny stor studie om svenskars välbefinnande. Resultaten bekräftar också att det finns en tydlig generationsskillnad, där yngre vuxna tydligt rapporterar lägre välbefinnande än äldre – ett skifte som började under pandemin. Forskarna har analyserat svar från över 34 000 representativa s
