For most of his career as a researcher, Lars Björck has sought to understand how bacteria manage to evade the human immune system. One of his discoveries is now saving the lives of patients with kidney disease who previously found it very difficult to receive a kidney transplant. He describes research as a combination of perseverance and imagination – and a fair few failures. Meet the winner of th

Metformin is often described as the first-line medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, not all patients respond to the drug. Researchers at Lund University have discovered a combination of biomarkers that can predict which patients will benefit from the treatment. This work is now continuing in order to confirm the results in a larger patient group, with the intention of developi

Emma Kritzberg took the train to a meeting on Mallorca. A journey that took 54 hours and cost double what it would have to fly a couple of hours to the Mediterranean island. Yet, flying was never an option. She has not flown once for work or privately in the last six years, a conscious decision she took to reduce her carbon footprint. Emma Kritzberg, professor at the Department of Biology, stepped

Farshid Jalalvand has a PhD in infection biology and vaccine development, and he has appeared frequently in the media during the debate on the Covid-19 vaccine. “When you work, as I do, with vaccines and you understand how they work, it feels important to try to explain it so that people can take decisions based on so

A blood biomarker yet to be used in cardiac arrest care can give a clearer picture of the extent of brain damage after a cardiac arrest. This has been shown in a large international multicentre study led by researchers at Lund University that has been published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. Worldwide, around four million people each year suffer a sudden cardiac arrest. “This will transform c

It was not an entirely uncontroversial decision to gather cancer researchers in the abandoned AstraZeneca premises ten years ago. Carl Borrebaeck was pro vice-chancellor at the time and pushed for the move which in itself cost SEK 50 million in central university funds. “I was not very popular with the deans at that time,” he says. “But now it turns out that Medicon Village is a great success and

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Sepsis is a very complicated and precarious condition. Research groups in Lund and Zurich have now developed a way to use mass spectrometry to measure hundreds of proteins in a single blood sample. With the help of protein patterns it is then possible to determine the severity of the condition and which organs have be

The winter season virus has struck – and covid-19 is still part of everyday life. But unlike during the pandemic, we now know more about how the virus is spread through the air we breathe. Research results from Malin Alsved and Jakob Löndahl show that it only takes a few minutes in the same room as an infected person to catch the virus. The aerosol researchers at LTH are behind the study, in which

That eating plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and legumes is beneficial for health is well known. More surprising, however, is that people who eat in a environmentally-friendly way also display nutritional values that are better than researchers had expected. This is shown in a new study from Lund University. The EAT–Lancet diet is a global dietary guideline developed to promote both human health
