Workhorse Philip Warkander became Sweden’s first PhD graduate in Fashion Studies. He describes research in a new subject as continuously doubting – an approach he also applies to the academic community’s focus on hard work. Moving around as a researcher, he noticed one day that he had fallen into the classic man-trap – friends and interests beyond work had been lost. When LUM meets fashion studies

LUCSUS Professor Christine Wamsler recently visited Australia to give the prestigious Dean’s lecture at the Melbourne School of Design (MSD). She was also invited to meet with researchers, practitioners and policy-makers in order to stimulate their work and open up a wider debate on urban adaptation and resilience. - Supporting sustainability and resilience is one of the three focus areas of the U
– Sanitation is a major challenge in India. It is partly to do with the high population density, there are more people sharing the same space, and a historically higher cultural and religious acceptance of poor sanitation, says Sara Gabrielsson from Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies, LUCSUS. Her research focus is on sanitation, health and sustainability. She is currently in India,

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
Researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center have made new strides in understanding why some patients with chronic myeloid leukemia respond better to treatment than others. Their study, recently published in eLife, suggests that the amount of healthy blood stem cells at diagnosis could be a key factor in predicting how well patients will respond to standard therapies. Chronic myeloid leu
En årlig donation om 3,5 miljoner kronor från Stiftelsen Ribbingska Sjukhemmets Minnesfond blev startskottet för en satsning på äldrevård och gerontologi vid Lunds universitet.

Näst efter klimatförändringarna, är förlusten av biologisk mångfald den största miljöutmaning som världen står inför. Förlusten av växt- och djurarter innebär också en förlust av de resurser som människan får av en fungerande natur. Vid Lunds universitet pågår ett projekt där man tittar på hur man arbetar med så kallad grön infrastruktur för att motverka dessa förluster. I dagens värld har många v
