The Lung Bioengineering and Regeneration research group is made up of about 15 researchers focusing on chronic lung disease. The group’s work includes the development of different methods to study disease models for conditions such as COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. One of the researchers, John Stegmayr, has been awarded SEK 700,000 from the Carl Tesdorpf Foundation to expand research into idiopathic

For the first time, researchers have linked specific frequent defects in sperm to risk of pregnancy complications and negative impacts on the health of the baby. The study from Lund University in Sweden shows that high proportion of father’s spermatozoa possessing DNA strand breaks is associated with doubled risk of preeclampsia in women who have become pregnant by IVF. It also increases the risk

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a digital cognitive test for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease that is intended for use in primary care. “This digital test, which patients perform on their own with minimal involvement from healthcare personnel, improves the primary care physician's ability to determine who should be further examined by blood tests for Alzheimer's pathology ear

Type 2 diabetes is a complex disease that can lead to serious health problems. It is important to find ways to predict the disease to take preventive measures. A large interdisciplinary study led by Lund University has identified a biomarker in the blood that predicts type 2 diabetes several years before diagnosis. Diabetes is on the rise and over time, diabetes can lead to complications such as c

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Although patient influence in healthcare has gradually started to increase, the role of the patient's next of kin is still very limited. Despite the fact that the disease affects the whole family, public healthcare often does not utilise the patient's relatives as a resource. A lot has happened in cancer care since Ma

How should societies adapt to rising seas, floods, and other climate threats? These questions are explored in a new study by LUCSUS researchers. It reveals that the answer is broader than just improved policies – it's about rethinking the very role of law itself. Researchers Ebba Brink, Ana Maria Vargas Falla and Emily Boyd examine how socio-legal processes shape climate vulnerability and resistan

A new PhD thesis by Bernard Ekumah examines why agricultural development in Ghana continues to generate uneven and contradictory outcomes, especially for smallholder farmers. It argues that these outcomes are not primarily the result of isolated failures of policy design or implementation. Rather, they arise from structural contradictions embedded in the internal logic of Ghana’s neo-liberal agrar

During the pandemic, reports of cheating rose dramatically – by over 100 per cent. The response to this development saw the launch of the pilot project “Förebygga disciplinära förseelser” (Prevent disciplinary offences) which was intended to strengthen the capacity of learning environments to prevent cheating and produce routines and materials for the work going forward. The reason for the increas

Evaluate employees’ performance differently – it could be a route to achieving a more gender equal university. This according to Rebecca Selberg, associate professor of gender studies. “A better, more holistic perspective on career development is needed,” she says. It is clear that a lot has happened in the area of gender equality at Lund University since women were first allowed to study here 150
