Petersén will give a talk on her work on Huntington disease at a symposium on neurodegenerative disorders at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada on September 8, 2025. There will also be a meeting for Petersén and other partners in the JPND funded delCAA-HD research team to discuss progress of the international collaborative research efforts.
When in Sweden for their annual meeting, members of the European Huntington Association paid a visit to Lund on 28 August 2025. There they met with Åsa Petersén and Camilla Svensson, registered nurse, also working at the HD Clinic at Skåne University Hospital (SUS) in Lund, together with Åsa. Åsa showed them around the lab, demonstrated samples and talked about her research. The EHA team also got

Anders Lindroth, Professor Emeritus, has been interviewed in Swedish TV4 news regarding effects of the 2018 drought. The ICOS research station in Hyltemossa measures, among other things, the exchange of carbon dioxide (CO2) between the forest ecosystem and the atmosphere. During recent years, the forest has been able to increase its capacity to absorb carbon dioxide. But in 2018, that trend showed
One of our students, Juliano Hanna, is on exchange in Svalbard. He is participating in a project aimed at gathering knowledge about how the Longyear River is slowly changing its path over time.

An international study led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden shows that the rapid increase in land use in the world's tropical areas is affecting the global carbon cycle more than was previously known. By studying data from a new satellite imaging system, the researchers also found that the biomass in tropical forests is decreasing. Vegetation fills a very important function in the carbo

Lund University will receive SEK 100 million from the EU to coordinate the international research project Interact for another four years. Among other things, the funding is to be used to send more polar researchers to the Arctic, make data available using artificial intelligence and reduce the research stations’ climate impact. “Climate change in the Arctic is proceeding twice as fast as in the r

The ability of global ecosystems to absorb carbon dioxide is regulated to a large extent by the nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus. With lower plant access to these nutrients, greater volumes of carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere, instead of being absorbed by forests and other ecosystems. A new study has now charted the global patterns of this nitrogen and phosphorus limitation. Plants need wat
