There are plans to build a new animal testing facility at Brunnshög in north-east Lund. It is a strategic decision by the Faculty of Medicine based on the need to replace the present animal facility, which is no longer optimal for breeding, and the desire aim to offer international researchers a safer research environment. LUM spoke to three of LU’s experts on animal testing matters. The animal fa

With his cycling helmet perched on his head, he rushes in like a whirlwind, fires off monosyllabic replies to emails and then asks thoughtful questions during meetings while simultaneously managing to work away on his computer. For Henrik Smith, life moves at a hundred miles an hour. But he is also a lauded professor with an awful lot to do. Henrik Smith, you see, wants to save the world. Has he g

For a decade now, the Rehabilitation Medicine research group’s work on spinal cord injuries (SCI’s) has had a far-reaching impact. In many areas, this is research at the global cutting edge; not least, in terms of following the same group of individuals as they live – and age – with spinal cord injuries. Research group leader Jan Lexell is preparing to flex the group’s academic muscles further in

In October, LUCSUS will host a conference on Loss and Damage (L&D) from climate change. Discussions to advance research on L&D are urgently needed, says LUCSUS Director Emily Boyd, since many challenges remain for the scientific and policy community on how L&D should be conceptualised, how best to measure, quantify and predict future L&D, and what governance arrangements are most appropriate.  – W

“Relapse of the condition is more common following the new treatment method using keyhole surgery, which for one-third of patients will lead to planned bowel operations. However, far fewer patients require ostomies,” says Pamela Buchwald, associate professor at Lund University and senior physician at Skåne University Hospital, Malmö, who led the study from Malmö. The study was led by researchers f

Nowadays, a photograph taken by a normal mobile phone camera is almost 2 MB in size. It is therefore possible to imagine the huge quantities of data produced by scanners that take thousands of three-dimensional images of a single body part or tissue sample. Freddy Ståhlberg shows how data from the forthcoming national 7 Tesla MRI scanner will be managed. The data will be collected at LU, but can t
