Christina Isaxon has always been interested in how small particles in the air affect our health. As society’s use of nanomaterials increases, research questions about safety are becoming urgent. ‟We need to know more about the conditions in which nanoparticles can affect us and how we can safely handle these materials.” Her research is about understanding how nanoparticles are generated and releas

After a long economic crisis, Lebanon is on the brink of ruin. The currency has lost much in value and people's savings have been eaten up. The crisis in the country is also taking place at the political and social level. Despite this, the corrupt elite continues to rule the country, without being punished for their wrongdoings. Rola el-Husseini is a researcher at CMES and Department of Political

It is still unclear how much students and staff will be on campus in the autumn, but a gradual return is being planned. Discussions are also being held as to whether technical and administrative staff will be able to continue working from home after the pandemic. At the University, teaching staff and researchers have long been able to choose to work from home when that was most effective for them

As a PhD student in the MaCoBios project, Fabiola Espinoza Córdova aims to explore how we can reframe adaptation to climate change in coastal communities towards more sustainable and just pathways. She believes that impacts on marine and coastal ecosystems linked to climate change are not only driven by global warming and human pressures, but are directly embedded in social changes.

After 20 years of research on gene therapy and the rare blood disease, Diamond-Blackfan Anemia, DBA, researcher Johan Flygare had reached a point where he and his colleagues had done everything they could in the lab. Even though they had proof of concept their gene therapy would work, engaging companies had been difficult. Then, in 2021, he received an e-mail. LONGREAD. The message came from Ameri

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. When Lund University switched to digital teaching there were many challenges both for the teaching staff and students. How exams and assessment were to be conducted now that the students were not on-site was an important question and a very difficult challenge. The existing tools for digital on-campus exams were teste

How do heritability and the fetal environment affect the risk for the child to develop type 2 diabetes? This is a question that Rashmi Prasad studies in her research projects that that may lead to individualised prevention measures.

A new study from Lund University in Sweden raises questions about the efficacy of bariatric operations involving gastric bypass. The results show that the biggest metabolic changes happened directly after surgery. Just a year after the operation, the concentration of metabolites and fats had returned to almost the same levels as before the procedure.  Previous research has shown that the majority

Men hur kan två barn med samma IQ, liknande hemförhållanden och samma lärare få helt olika betyg?

Att rekrytera artrospatienter med mycket smärta till kliniska studier, kan ge felaktigt resultat om forskaren inte tar hänsyn till den naturliga smärtvariationen som förekommer. En forskargrupp från Lunds universitet uppmärksammar nu fallgroparna i forskningsstudier kring artros och publicerar sina rön som en kommentar i The Lancet Rheumatology. Artros är en livslång ledsjukdom som blir allt vanli
