Researchers at Lund University have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) – it is quit

I samband med en ny rapport kring åtgärder som ska begränsa klimatförändringarna ser forskare vid Lunds universitet vissa hoppfulla tecken. Bland annat tror Lars J Nilsson, professor i miljö- och energisystem vid LTH, att det finns goda möjligheter att år 2050 nå nollutsläpp för industrier som stål, cement och kemi – där utsläppen av koldioxid idag är stora. För att nå klimatmålen måste utsläppen

Swedish old-growth forests store 83 percent more carbon than managed forests, according to a new study from Lund University. The difference is substantially larger than previous estimates and is mainly due to large carbon stocks in the soil. The study, published in the scientific journal Science, is the most comprehensive mapping of how much carbon is stored in Swedish old-growth forests to date.

Two issues that have taken up a relatively large part of my time since I became pro vice-chancellor five years ago are the management of research data and IT security. Both were areas in which LU did not really live up to the expectations of a top 100 university. There are, naturally, many points of contact between the areas, and both require a larger element of university-wide solutions than what
