Department of Clinical Sciences Malmö Head: Jan Nilsson, PI BackgroundCardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of mortality among subjects with diabetes. The risk of myocardial infarction (MI) is increased 2-3 fold in subjects who have had diabetes for >10 years, with some studies reporting risks equivalent to that of a non-diabetic person with previous MI. Diabetes is also associated with an

Focal accumulation of immune cells and lipids in the vascular wall leads to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. Plaques occasionally erode or rupture, causing the blood to clot and restrict blood flow, with serious clinical consequences such as acute myocardial infarctions and strokes. Even though our understanding of the disease mechanisms underlying atherosclerosis has advanced substantial

Monthly seminars for researchers across the university, as well as our collaboration partners in industry and other institutes, to come together. Each month, LUBIRC holds a breakfast seminar on a different topic of interest to our collaboration network. This includes new science and research in our areas of interest, but also talks by industry representatives, or on wider aspects of sustainability

Lund University Biobased Industry Center brings together researchers leading the way in developing the knowledge and design needed for biobased alternatives to traditional industrial products and processes. LUBIRC was founded at the beginning of 2014 by scientists at Lund University with the support of the University Board and Region Skåne. Since 2017, LUBIRC has been the university's Thematic Col

LUBIRC is led by a management board, consisting of ten scientists across three different faculties, and one project leader from the Department of Research, Collaboration, and Innovation. The members of the board sit for terms of one year at a time. Furthermore, LUBIRC has an Advisory Board consisting of representatives from Region Skåne, IKEM, Lund Municipality, and LTH.

Lund University has a large team of researchers focusing on increasing our knowledge of how to create environmentally friendly chemicals, plastics, specific materials, fuel and energy sources from raw biological materials (biomass). Our hope is that our knowledge, which is based on several decades of both fundamental, and more applied research in collaboration with industry, will contribute to a s

Biofuels are one of the many different types of products that can be made in biorefineries. There is a great need for society to decrease our reliance on fossil fuels (from, for example, coal or natural gas) in order to reduce the quantity of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere, and the use of biofuels is one opportunity to do so. Producing biofuels can be the main process of a biorefinery,

A refinery is a factory where raw materials are transformed into useable products such as chemicals. Biorefineries perform the same role, but with biological raw material (biomass) such as plants or microorganisms instead of traditional chemicals. Biomass is a renewable source of raw material, as we can always grow more, unlike commonly used fossil fuels. In order to use biomass, the chemical reac

The expression “industrial biotechnology” is used to describe the complete industrial process that uses biobased raw materials to produce chemicals, fuels, and products with help of primarily biotechnological methods. It is often called “white biotechnology” to distinguish it from those companies in biotechnology attempting to make pharmaceutical products from biobased sources, which is referred t

Sweden has all the right ingredients, both technically as well as in the form of available natural resources, to create a competitive bioeconomy with complex biorefineries and production of green chemicals. There are, however, many other important aspects that affect the development of a bioeconomy. These can be political decisions and regulations, corporate culture, the research climate, and how

Producing chemicals and materials from biomass instead of fossil resources is a much more complicated process. The biomass itself contains many different substances and, in order to use it in optimally, its composition needs to be analyzed and fractionated. Biomass can originate from several different sources such as crops, or waste from agriculture and the forestry industry. It can also be genera

Transforming biobased resources into the desired products requires customized processes and technological solutions. The processes need to successfully integrate knowledge about the properties of both the resource used and the biocatalyst, ensuring that reasonable yields and high levels of productivity will be produced and thus good process economy. The methods of transformation will vary dependin
