Professor Charlotte Ling is doing research within the field of epigenetics to understand changes in the expression of genes based on our environment and lifestyle and how these changes increase a person´s risk of catching diseases such as type 2 diabetes. She is also trying to develop epigenetic biomarkers that can forecast the development of disease, serve as an early health warning system, and b

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The situation of patients with Huntington’s disease is in many respects different from patients with other serious conditions. “The condition affects the brain, the very foundation of who we are, and is caused by a diseased gene. If you have the gene, you will develop the disease sooner or later, regardless of how hea

Ludovic Prick made his way to Lund for Arrival Day by cycling all the way from Belgium. Together with a friend, he embarked on a 13-day journey, pedalling from Amsterdam through Bremen, Hamburg, Rødby, and Copenhagen. Covering 1,100 kilometres, their adventure included a couple of long stops, including a two-day rest in Copenhagen. “The slower pace allowed us to explore winding rural roads and exp

The university-wide project “A unified web experience for education” has been rolling along at breakneck speed this spring – from in-house training for publishers in the new PIM system to further development of web design, technology and content. The launch is currently planned for February 2026. “We have done our best to stick to the schedule set when the project was commissioned in winter 2023.

Can you tell me a little about your research area?I research diseases and conditions of the hip joint that affect children but can also cause pain and osteoarthritis in adulthood. One example is hip dysplasia, where the acetabulum does not sufficiently cover the femoral head. Hip dysplasia occurs in 0.5-1% of newborns in Sweden and is almost always detected at the maternity ward. When diagnosed ea

First-born children are at lower risk of heart attack and stroke than their siblings – provided that the number of siblings does not exceed three; then it is the other way around. And people without siblings have a higher risk of heart attack and stroke later in life compared to those who have siblings. These are among the findings of a new population study from Lund University published in BMJ Op

That life is not fair is hardly news. But that inequalities are at risk of increasing as we seek to improve the health of the population is perhaps unexpected. Health economics is a way of evaluating the potential health benefits of different interventions, setting them against the economic cost and their impact on society. Over two million people in Sweden are currently living with cardiovascular

Parkslide och andra främmande invasiva arter sprider sig snabbt och hotar både ekosystem, infrastruktur och ekonomi – och när de väl har fått fäste är de svåra att bli av med. Men vilka metoder finns egentligen för att bekämpa parkslide och andra invasiva arter? Främmande invasiva arter är ett begrepp vi hör allt oftare. För att en art ska klassas som invasiv enligt en skandinavisk definition ska

One of the biggest perks of teaching at university? Supervising students and seeing them grow into their role. That is at least according to senior lecturers Olof Hallonsten and Anna Jonsson. Detectives with magnifying glasses and catching and preparing a fish. Those are two of the metaphors that Anna Jonsson and Olof Hallonsten use to explain the relationship between supervisor and student, the v
