This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. “Yes, academic life is uncertain and competitive. However, that’s the case even for those who don’t have families. I don’t think it’s any harder to have children if you are a researcher than in any other line of work.” Olga Göransson is also a member in the network WINGS (Women in Great Sciences). So says Olga Göranss

Christopher Douse, a new group leader at the Faculty of Medicine at Lund University, has been awarded the Ben Barres Early Career Acceleration Award by The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. This award includes a $1.2 million grant to support his lab’s exploration of the repetitive portion of the human genome, so-called ‘genomic dark matter’, and its role in human brain development and degeneration. Repe

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The next EU framework programme focuses on “missions” rather than the previous “societal challenges”. This in itself will be a challenge for a university focused on basic research such as LU and will require new working methods among funding bodies and researchers applying for grants, according to research liaison off

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Directly after birth, the immune system completes production of a subtype of antibody-producing immune cells, B-1, that are to last for a lifetime. No more B1-cells are formed after that point. However, these cells are self-reactive – they produce not only antibodies against foreign substances, but also against the bo

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A large proportion of our elite athletes are suffering psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic, with more women than men reporting adverse reactions. This is demonstrated by the study Psychological Distress and Problem Gambling in Elite Athletes during COVID-19 Restrictions: A Web Survey in Top Leagues of

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In a collaborative study, researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center and University College London have developed a novel method of isolating ‘young’ stem cells still present in old mice. They show that activity of mitochondria, the power generators of the cell, is a stronger indicator of stem cell fitness than age and is

Filipe Pereira, professor of molecular medicine at Lund University, is awarded this year's Fernström prize for young, exceptionally promising, and successful researchers. He receives the award for his work on reprogramming blood cells and the development of immunotherapies based on this technology. It was a sheep that determined Filipe Pereira's career choice. He was in high school when he heard a

The external review of physics at Lund University has now been completed. Physics is in a strong position at Lund, while organisational changes could enable greater international impact and support the continued development of activities in the field. This is the conclusion of the experts behind the report. The review was carried out during the spring with the aim of analysing physics activities a

In order to achieve the 1.5-degree target set by the Paris Agreement, massive cuts in carbon emissions are needed. For the EU, this requires a reduction of household carbon footprints from 2015 of almost 70% by 2030 and over 90% by 2050. Too often, climate policies are not placed within a broader social context and policy makers neglect to see that welfare policies are vital to climate mitigation.
