I believe that a common vision, clear and explicit core values and systematic work on the priority issues can better enable the researchers at the University to conduct research of the highest international quality that helps people to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition. The Research Board has drawn up a new Research Strategy for 2023-26, which has now been approved

Her diary is full for the rest of the year, and new invitations to events around the globe pour in every day. Receiving the Nobel Prize does not just mean a gala dinner with the King, it also means a different everyday life. “It almost feels like I’ve got a new job,” says Anne L’Huillier. In Anne L’Huillier’s office in the A building at the Department of Physics there is a majestic plant with gree

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. All diabetics who developed the disease before the age of six months should be tested for a certain genetic mutation. Some of them might not need insulin injections but could manage their disease just as well, or better, with a simple tablet. “Neonatal diabetes is an uncommon form of diabetes caused by a genetic mutat

Nano and New Frontiers in Computing – technologies and insights in biology, materials, light and quantum. That was the inspiring and captivating theme of this year’s edition of the NanoLund Annual Meeting. With a head start from inside an insect’s brain, brought to us by Stanley Heinze, we were given talks about new computational methods such as machine learning and AI to benefit nanoscience resea

After nearly two years of working at home, we were able to return to the office in spring 2022. In the autumn of 2021, the Vice-Chancellor decided on new guidelines for remote working in preparation for our return. For technical and administrative staff this meant whole new possibilities to work partly from home that were not there before the pandemic. This was part of the subject of the Future of

Shortly before 8 a.m. on Friday morning, several of the university's buildings lost power. The cause was a severed cable. By 9 a.m., the fault had been repaired. At 7:54 a.m., an alarm was received regarding a power outage affecting Akademiska Hus, caused by a cable being dug up in north-eastern Lund. Among others, LTH, SOL, LUX and a number of other university premises were affected.During the po

Astronomers invited members of the public to look at the spring skies through the teaching telescopes. There are a number of both historical and modern telescopes at Lund Observatory.  Usually these are used for teaching purposes but every now and then the astronomers decide to stay at work late into the evening in order to give members of the public the chance for some stargazing. This spring thr

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. By the end of 2019 it emerged that there were work environment problems in the astronomy section of the Department of Astronomy and Theoretical Physics, also known as Lund Observatory. The then head of department had received a significant number of complaints from staff members about bullying and harassment. The Facu

NanoLund Director Anders Mikkelsen thanks the staff for all your contributions. The end of 2024 is getting closer, and in the midst of the final hectic attempt to finish all projects and ideas, we can look back at the year. We sadly had to say goodbye to our deputy director Maria Messing, who took a new leadership position at Chalmers. After a thorough process, the recruiting group found a new top

Kan en samhällskontakt hjälpa personer och deras närstående – drabbade av allvarlig sjukdom, stress, ensamhet – som behöver mer stöd att hantera vardagen? Ja, det vill Dröfn Birgisdóttir undersöka i forskningsprojektet “Tillsammans”. Sjukvården är hårt belastad och samtidigt finns det resurser i samhället som skulle kunna stötta upp och tas till vara. Det menar forskaren Dröfn Birgisdóttir och hen

För första gången har forskare kopplat specifika defekter i spermier till graviditetskomplikationer och negativ effekt på barnets hälsa. Studien från Lunds universitet visar att DNA-skador på pappans spermier fördubblar risken för havandeskapsförgiftning för kvinnor som blivit gravida genom IVF. Dessutom ökar risken för barnet att födas för tidigt. Ofrivillig barnlöshet är ett växande problem och

Researchers at Lund University have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) – it is quit

Perhaps not, argues Yulia Vakulenko. At least not when it comes to the delivery service needs and preferences of rural versus urban e-consumers in the age of consumer-centric supply chain management. The new age of consumer-centric supply chain management highlights the benefits of placing the consumer at the core of strategy development and operations design. Recent e-commerce shifts translate in
