For a long time, the golden rapeseed fields that light up much of Europe in spring concealed a dark truth. The pesticides used – perfectly legally – to protect the harvest were also having severe effects on bumblebees and other wild bees. That was until a field study, the only one of its kind in the world, carried out by researchers at Lund University helped lead to the EU banning the chemicals in

If you are active in a student organisation, in other words a student union, nation or the Academic Society (AF), support is available from the Student Health Centre. This could concern everything from providing information to and interacting with other students to obtaining support for combining your student life commitments with your studies. For many students, student life is an important eleme

For just over 350 years, Lund University has educated students and created new knowledge. Below is a history of how it developed from a small provincial academy into a major international university with world-leading research. When Lund University was founded in 1666, Sweden was a great power, which eight years prior had won the province of Skåne from Denmark. Just one month after the Swedish vic

Vid kronisk myeloisk leukemi har målstyrd, kontinuerlig behandling med tyrosinkinashämmare lett till dramatiskt förbättrad överlevnad. Efter ett flertal år uppnås djupt molekylärt svar hos ca 50 procent av patienterna; ca 50 procent av dem kan då avbryta behandlingen utan tecken på återfall. Kontinuerlig behandling med tyrosinkinashämmare kan ge långsiktiga biverkningar. Efter patentutgång för imaChronic myeloid leukemia - a model disease for targeted therapy Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) pioneered as the first human malignancy linked to a specific cytogenetic aberration (the Philadelphia chromosome), which led the way to specific targeted therapies with imatinib (Glivec) and later tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). Continuous TKI administration, blocking the oncogenic fusion protein Bcr-A

Parkinson: On course against Cure. Our research group focuses on Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disease, with approximately 20 000 patients in Sweden and 2.3 million in Europe.

Diabetes results from loss or dysfunction of insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas. Despite insulin injection treatment, diabetic patients suffer from long-term complications, such as blindness and kidney failure. Therefore, a central goal of diabetes research is to regenerate beta cells or produce large numbers of functional beta cells for transplantation. The successful generation of beta

Abstract in Undetermined Este trabajo presenta el desarrollo de un banco de pruebas experimental para el análisis de la respuesta mecánica de los asientos de vehículos durante la entrada y salida de pasajeros. Para realizar este desarrollo, se consideran dos fases: la primera fase es la captura de datos, realizada mediante una manta sensorizada con una red de galgas de presión y un sistema de foto

Virus är bland de enklaste biologiska objekt i vår omgivning. Vanligen består de av en behållare av protein molekyler, en så kallad viruskapsel, som att bygga på denna viktiga insikt leder vi en bred studie av Herpesvirus där vi utforskar fysikaliska mekanismer som styr virus infektionen och ge en möjlighet till att kontrollera och även stoppa den. Dessutom öppnar studierna porten till strategierMy research area is Virus Biophysics. Research focuses on key physical mechanisms controlling replication of double-stranded DNA and RNA viruses. Experimental model systems used in my group are dsDNA bacteriophages, human Herpes viruses and Rotaviruses. I am specifically interested in physical mechanisms of genome packaging and ejection from viral capsids, viral packaging motors, DNA structural tr

Preeclampsia is a severe pregnancy-related condition that annually affects 10M women worldwide. The etiology is largely unknown and diagnosis is currently based on maternal clinical symptoms: high blood pressure and organ damage manifesting after 20 weeks of gestation. Delivery is currently the only cure. Increased long-term risk for cardiovascular diseases and stroke after preeclampsia point to i
