Method which repairs damaged genes
This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In recent years, researchers have discovered around 70 genetic risk variants for diabetes, but still TCF7L2, known as the diabetes gene, is the gene that carries with it the largest risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Using a new method called exon skipping, Ola Hansson at Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC) wants

Climathon in Lund 2018
This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. “Solutions to limit the climate impact of plastics” was the topic of this years Climathon in Lund. The 24 hour hackathon gathered 54 participants and was thereby one of the larger among the 113 Climathons held simultaneous all around the world. Climathon in Lund was organised by a consortia of five very different orga

Summary of ClimBEco summer meeting 2021 - Food and.....everything else
At this ClimBEco summer meeting, mostly held online but with parallel in-person workshops in Gothenburg, Lund and Malmö, was themed around one of humanities ultimate equalizers; that of food. The way we produce, move and use food globally has important implications on just about every challenge we currently face in the world, reflected in the overall title of the summer meeting. To start off the e

A new eye on the universe opens in Chile
A new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile has recently captured its first starlight. This marks the beginning of a new era in astronomy, as researchers prepare to map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument does not take ordinary images of the night sky. Instead, 4MOST – the Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope – collects spectra, that

The most effective ways of reducing car traffic
Researchers have identified the top 12 ways European cities have been able to curb car use. The most effective measure was applying a congestion charge, with the notable case of London, where city traffic dropped by 33% following the change. Most success stories involved both “carrots” to encourage sustainable mobility and “sticks” to restrict cars, according to the study. – Transport is a major s

Organic farms had doubled plant diversity – but only over time
It takes a long time, up to several decades, before the benefits of organic farming take full effect on land that was previously cultivated conventionally, a new study from Lund University suggests. After thirty years, the plant species richness around the cultivated crop had doubled on organic farms compared to conventional farms. It is well known that organic farming benefits biodiversity and ca

Faculty of Science invests in computational science – new doctoral programme meets growing demand for advanced analysis
In 2025, the Faculty of Science launched a new doctoral programme in computational science to meet the growing demand for advanced computational methods in research. This initiative aims to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and train doctoral students in handling and analysing large datasets across fields such as medicine, environmental science, and engineering. The doctoral programme was cr

Lead halide perovskites – a horse of a different color
Tri-national team of researchers from NanoLund, the Russian Academy of Science, and the Technical University of Dresden in Germany has developed a new methodology for the study of lead halide perovskites. Metal halide perovskites have been under intense investigation over the last decade due to the remarkable rise in their performance in optoelectronic devices such as solar cells or light-emitting

Exploring Genomic Dark Matter: Christopher Douse Awarded $1.2M Grant by Chan Zuckerberg Initiative
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.

How self-reactive immune cells are allowed to develop
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
