A new specialization within the Master’s programme in Life Sciences highlights how computational science can be applied in medicine and biology. The initiative reflects a growing demand for mathematically and technically skilled scientists who want to tackle complex problems in the life sciences. The new specialization is part of the existing Master’s programme in Computational Science, but opens
After a trip from Portugal, the new exposure chambers have arrived in Lund. LTH’s aerosol and climate scientists welcome the lab delivery with great expectations and are getting ready for a four-week construction project. Several years of preparation are now bearing fruit. The aerosol and climate labs at LTH have merged into one laboratory, and in the process the infrastructure is being improved w

Some fungi are wasteful, while others recycle – and this can determine how much carbon is stored in a forest. Researchers at Lund University have now revealed how fungi manage their mycelium, the network that builds the structure of fungus. The results could provide new insights into the carbon cycle and climate. Researchers have investigated how fungi recycle their mycelium when they grow. Using

Generative AI is quickly changing the way we work, learn and create knowledge. To address this development, a new AI policy has been developed to provide employees and students with guiding principles on how to use the technology in a responsible, ethical and transparent manner. What does the policy entail?The policy states that generative AI is to assist, not replace, users’ skills and creativity

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Artisanal interpretation of ceramics from the Bronze Age shows that a nine-year-old child could be a highly skilled artisan. This was one of the discoveries presented in a new thesis from Lund University. The thesis explores how an artisanal perspective can contribute to archaeology by providing new insights into arch
This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Up to now, researchers have believed that birds stay at home and altruistically help raise younger siblings because this is the only way to pass on genes when you cannot breed yourself. But this idea is only partially true. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that birds benefit from being helpful because

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Nine senior researchers from five different faculties at Lund University have been granted three million SEK for a novel transdisciplinary initiative to improve the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Four of them are research leaders from the strategic research area MultiPark at the Medical Faculty. The collabora
Three out of Lund University’s four most cited scientists are research leaders at MultiPark, according to Clarivate’s report for this year. The highly anticipated annual list identifies researchers who demonstrated significant influence in their chosen field or fields through the publication of multiple highly cited papers during the last decade. Their names are drawn from the publications that ra

Young people in India are often described as a well-educated and progressive force. How does that align with the right-wing populism sweeping through the country? Journalism student Linn Jönsson embarked on a reporting journey to Bombay, delving into religious and political conflicts of present-day India. In the Fall of 2023, Linn Jönsson received the SASNET travel grant for journalism students at

The national 7T MR facility is one of about 100 similar ultra-high field MR scanners for human use in the world. The facility recently underwent a major state-of-the-art upgrade that will ensure that the facility remains at the forefront of ultra-high field MR research, enabling ground-breaking studies across a wide range of fields. Thus, as the national 7T MR facility celebrates its 10-year anniv
Forskare har lyckats kartlägga granbarkborrens hela arvsmassa. Genombrottet banar väg för ny forskning på barkborrarna och långt bättre möjligheter att effektivt bekämpa skadeinsekten som varje år kan fördärva mer än 100 miljoner kubikmeter granskog i Europa och Asien.

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Ett internationellt forskarlag lett av svenska forskare har identifierat sju nya genregioner med koppling till fetma. Forskarna kunde också visa att de ärftliga mekanismerna som orsakar extrem fetma till stor del är desamma som orsakar mildare former av övervikt och fetma. Sammantaget ingick över 260 000 personer i

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
