Earlier this month, Simon Hultmark defended his Ph.D. thesis. In pursuit of his long-standing fascination for stem cells, his research over the last several years has focused on blood stem cells and cancer. All in an effort to contribute to the development of improved clinical therapies for patients with a type of blood cancer known as acute myeloid leukemia. In this interview, he tells us about h
Adapting cities is key for increasing the resilience of citizens, communities, organisations and wider systems to deal with the effects of climate change. For more than 20 years Professor Christine Wamsler has collaborated with national authorities, municipalities and citizens to implement sustainable climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and long-term sustainability projects to supp
Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Det senaste decenniet har kunskapen om hur våra gener påverkas av vår livsstil - ett forskningsfält som kallas epigenetik - ökat explosionsartat. Forskare vid Lunds universitets Diabetescentrum har sammanfattat det vetenskapliga kunskapsläget inom epigenetik kopplat till fetma och typ 2-diabetes i en reviewartikel d

It is half past three in the morning on one of the last nights of October. Storm Babet is raging and most people are trying to sleep through the sound of the wind, but coastal researchers at LTH are wide awake. Strong winds combined with high water levels are a warning sign for communities on the south coast of Skåne, and that’s where the researchers are heading, to the heart of the action. They a

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A forest management method different to those practised today would contribute to greater welfare and wellbeing for society in general, compared with current methods that mainly benefit the forestry industry. This has been shown in a new study by two researchers from Lund University in Sweden. There is an intensive de

The development of a new treatment strategy for bacterial infections and sepsis is being led by researchers at Lund University. In a study the researchers demonstrate how they, by mimicking a substance naturally present in the body, can neutralize toxic substances from bacteria and thereby mitigate harmful inflammation that could otherwise lead to sepsis. “Despite decades of research, there are cu

If we can understand how and why light and matter behave as they do, we are one step closer to solving some of the most fundamental problems in physics. Finding the answers to these questions drives Ville Maisi, Associate Professor of Solid States Physics, Department of Physics. As long as he can remember he has been interested electric circuits and physics. With the support of a new ERC Consolida

In this autumn’s second "Dean's corner" Charlotta Turner reflects on the Faculty’s first Inspiration Day for Science Teachers and on the ongoing work to establish a Learning Lab in the Astronomy Building – a testbed for the teaching and learning environments of the future. It’s now been a week since the Faculty hosted its very first Inspiration day for science teachers, and I must say I still smil

As a researcher, you sometimes have to work a little extra to get your knowledge out there. SWEAH's Impact Officer, Oskar Jonsson, has been training hard during the winter and spring. On May 4, he will embark on a 1,000-kilometer lecture tour on ageing and health – on a tandem bicycle, together with other SWEAH researchers, in the southern Swedish countryside. The plan is to cycle around 50 km a d

One of our interdisciplinary Themes, Ancient Synagogues and the Human Sensorium, decided to make this May even eventful(l)er. We are all for it. Especially since they provide simulations of the past with advanced computational methods, meetings with international experts and … food. All three events are open to all, will be held in English – and require registration. Welcome to a symposium at Pufe

A few sharp minds working together for almost an entire summer. The task: to tackle the problem that a couple of days of work generates so much data, that it would take months to analyse.

An international visit to the Department of Service Studies, combined with open research seminars on sustainable consumption, sparked conversations and ideas for future collaboration on the topic. Among the questions discussed were “How can we make it easier to eat less meat?”, “Why do people committed to climate action still fly so much?”, and “Do shared mobility services really reduce private ca

An entire day full of scientific talks, poster mingling, and plenty of opportunities to discuss all varieties of playing with the energies inside materials. The NanoLund Annual Meeting was held, dinner was enjoyed – and several prizes were given to the awardees. Once a year, NanoLundians meet in Lund for an annual meeting. This year’s theme was “Materials – building the world” and the exciting pro

Some fungi are wasteful, while others recycle – and this can determine how much carbon is stored in a forest. Researchers at Lund University have now revealed how fungi manage their mycelium, the network that builds the structure of fungus. The results could provide new insights into the carbon cycle and climate. Researchers have investigated how fungi recycle their mycelium when they grow. Using

International collaboration takes place every dayInternationalisation is not something that happens alongside our core activities – it is a natural part of them. Science is fundamentally international, and scientific progress depends on collaborations across subject boundaries and disciplines around the world. Internationalisation is therefore an integrated part of our researchers’ everyday work.A
