Både Tony Ingesson och David Gisselsson Nord älskar spionromaner och är nördigt intresserade av historia. Deras gemensamma nyfikenhet resulterade i ett tvärvetenskapligt samarbete om hur man med hjälp av metoder från spionage och underrättelseanalys kan inspirera till smartare behandling av cancer. Tony Ingesson har ganska lätt för att visa lite attityd när han ställer sig framför kameran. David G

Nu har forskaren i infektionsmedicin Pontus Nordenfelt vid Lunds universitet lyckats beskriva och avbilda cellernas rörelser på molekylär nivå. Detta kan på sikt få betydelse för behandlingen av bland annat infektionssjukdomar, inflammation och cancer, där cellmigration har

Torbjörn von Schantz tycker att han kommit en bra bit på vägen till ett enat universitet. I sin ledningsgrupp möter han nu mer av gemensamt ansvarstagande och mindre av stuprörstänkande och särintressen. Det han saknat mest under sina rektorsår är närheten till verksamheten i övrigt. – Jag gillar att snacka med folk, säger han. Efter fyrtio år i universitetsvärlden med uppdrag som prefekt, dekan o
