Lund University researchers have been awarded SEK 19 million in funding from Cancerfonden as part of a national investment of SEK 114 million to advance cancer research across Sweden. Among the recipients is Associate Professor Sofie Mohlin, whose work focuses on understanding neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive childhood cancer. Cancerfonden, the Swedish Cancer Society, is investing in researche
On April 9, Lund University's Pre-GMP Facility and Skåne University Hospital's ATMP Center - a joint research and development environment where new treatments using cell and gene therapies are developed - will be inaugurated. The aim of the collaboration is to bring research closer to healthcare and make advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) available to more patients. This is joint news fro

In a newly published study in Nature Communications, Emma Hammarlund and her research team at Lund University detail how daily fluctuations in oxygen levels influenced the rise of animal life. Their findings offer new insights as to how dramatic daily shifts in oxygen availability and stress may have played a central role in the evolution of complex organisms on Earth. “Now, when we explore animal
Lund University in Sweden has been awarded an EU grant of 8.3 million euros for a new international doctoral programme in regenerative medicine and advanced therapy medicinal products. The aim is to improve the environment for regenerative medicine and ATMPs in Europe and facilitate cooperation between research and clinical application. It started as an idea at the Lund Stem Cell Center to train a

After a five-year pause, the Lund Stem Cell Center’s outreach initiative Taking Science to Schools – Borrow a Scientist has returned, once again bringing researchers face-to-face with students across southern Sweden. In March 2025, nine researchers from the Center visited more than 100 students at Malmö Latinskola, Filbornaskolan in Helsingborg, and Söderportgymnasiet in Kristianstad. The sessions

Researchers at the Lund Stem Cell Center at Lund University have developed a stem cell-based therapy that rejuvenates the aging blood and immune systems in mice without harsh treatments like chemotherapy or radiation. The findings recently published in the journal Nature Communications is a step toward safer, non-toxic treatments for age-related blood disorders and immune decline. As we age, the s

Each year, around 350 children in Sweden are diagnosed with cancer. Thanks to progress in research and treatment, six out of seven children today survive. But unlike cancer in adults, we don't know what causes most childhood cancers to develop. This spring Barncancerfonden, the Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation, awarded SEK 64 million to 29 researchers across the country. The funding includes po
Paul Bourgine, research group leader at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center, has been awarded an ERC Proof of Concept grant for his project CiThOss – Cellular immunoTHERapy modelling by exploitation of humanized OSSicles, which aims to develop accurate models for testing immunotherapies in cancer treatment.

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as ‘junk’ and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show that the repetitive part of the human genome plays an active role during early brain development and may also be relevant for understanding brain diseases. DNA carries the complete set of instructions an organism

An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialised immune cells. The discovery, published in Immunity, could pave the way for more precise and personalised cancer immunotherapies. The team has taken an important step toward harnessing the immune system to fight cancer. Their work describes how
