Back then, the red brick buildings rose like a lonely wall against the open fields of eastern Lund. Now, the buildings are a hub in the middle of the knowledge highway that links the centre of the city with the research facilities on the outskirts of Brunnshög. We are talking, of course, about the buildings on the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) campus. Architect Klas Anshelm’s red brick buildings ha

Mikael Lund is a chemist who doesn’t wear a lab coat. Instead, his research involves computer models of atoms and molecules. Being named a Future Research Leader means both freedom and new challenges. “Using computer models, we can zoom in on molecular details to gain insights that are difficult to achieve with classic experiments”, says Mikael Lund, a theoretical chemist. What does it feel like t

Laurie Cohen, from the Department of Business Administration, on gender inequality in academia and how it won't go away unless we take action. An old story has re-emerged on social media. It goes like this. A father and his son are in a car accident. The father is killed and the son is rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. Upon entering the operating theatre and seeing the boy, the surgeon

Swarming bats at mine entrance Photo:Jens Rydell During the day they are not visible. But at dusk, brown long-eared bats, pond bats and greater mouse-eared bats spread their wings and start hunting. LUM accompanied researcher and bat expert Jens Rydell to Hovdala castle for a bat inventory. The bat detector crackles and emits a rhythmic, clicking sound. “That was a soprano pipistrelle, one of the

Farming practices have the potential to slow climate change by pulling carbon from the air and store it in the soil. A new study from LUCSUS has identified seven ways in which farmers can increase carbon sequestration. It also found that woody perennials took up more than annual crops, suggesting that winegrowing could be particularly favorable for carbon soil storage. – What can farmers do to hel

The most common form of childhood cancer is acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Together with Karolinska Institutet, SciLifeLab and the University of Cambridge, researchers at Lund University have conducted the largest ever analysis of ALL at protein level by studying activity in more than 8,000 genes and proteins. The results of the study show a deviant folding of the DNA strand which in turn af

Bladder cancer is as common as malignant melanoma. However, in the past three decades, the death rate has remained high and the treatment has been the same since the 1970s. Yet only a very small part of research funding goes to bladder cancer. Through a unique collaboration, researchers now want to transfer new research about the disease to clinical practice. However, first they have to find a way
