Eleven research centers across four thematic areas have been awarded funding in Forte's call for Research center grants 2025. Two of these centers will be led from Lund University, focusing on the themes of severe mental illness and women’s health and disease. The two new research centers at Lund University that have been granted long-term funding from Forte will be led by Ulrika Bejerholm in the

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

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Endurance running is often seen as a welcome escape from everyday life. But extraordinary experiences, such as running ultra-marathons, are not untouched by the competitive nature of contemporary consumer culture, a new thesis from Lund University in Sweden argues. The at times romanticized notion of experiencing comp

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In recent decades, the climate in Sweden has become about two degrees warmer on average and this year we have seen an unprecedentedly mild winter and early spring. How is nature responding – animals, insects, plants – to an increasingly mild climate? Researchers in Lund can provide the answer. Among other things, a ne

First-born children are at lower risk of heart attack and stroke than their siblings – provided that the number of siblings does not exceed three; then it is the other way around. And people without siblings have a higher risk of heart attack and stroke later in life compared to those who have siblings. These are among the findings of a new population study from Lund University published in BMJ Op

How does migration and globalisation shape the lives of individuals in various countries and how does it affect the children of immigrants in terms of integration, identity, and cultural expressions? Do they themselves use the word integration? These questions occupy sociologist Dalia Abdelhady who is about to conclude a study of three populations in the US, in France and in Germany, based on thei

For many years, a bottleneck in technological development has been how to get processors and memories to work faster together. Now, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have presented a new solution integrating a memory cell with a processor, which enables much faster calculations, as they happen in the memory circuit itself. In an article in Nature Electronics, the researchers present a new c

Art and culture help us to understand society and ourselves. Lund University, with its artistic and cultural knowledge formation, has a key role to play in this. A new Cultural Council has now been formed to act both as a forum for ideas and a discussion partner in this work. “There are entirely new, fresh eyes that see our cultural richness, that see opportunities and connections associated with

The results of the election in September may have an impact on academic freedom and the independence of universities from political power. The principle of keeping an arm's length between politics and higher education and research is increasingly being called into question. “I think we are currently in a situation in which the most important thing is not for universities to receive more money, but

The idea that research results should be simplified and related to a media logic when being communicated to the public is challenged in a new report on research communication. “It is just as important, if not more so, to provide an understanding of what lies behind the results – of the knowledge and the methods used,” says organisational researcher Anna Jonsson. She has been involved in the recent

Genom att beskriva sin forskning som en kamp mellan ont och gott och likna sig själv vid en hacker som attackerar cancerceller för att göra dem snälla tog doktoranden Luís Oliveira, Stamcellscentrum, hem vinsten i årets deltävling av Forskar Grand Prix.

Christina Isaxon has always been interested in how small particles in the air affect our health. As society’s use of nanomaterials increases, research questions about safety are becoming urgent. ‟We need to know more about the conditions in which nanoparticles can affect us and how we can safely handle these materials.” Her research is about understanding how nanoparticles are generated and releas

Most African countries contribute only marginally to the increase of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere. Nevertheless, Africa is the continent most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The impact varies across the continent and also within individual countries. An improved set of data increases the possibilities for evaluating future risks, and how to best address

Bioenergi spelar en viktig roll i omställningen till ett fossilfritt samhälle. Men den ”outnyttjade” jordbruksmark, så kallad marginalmark, som är lämplig för att odla bioenergi på i södra Sverige finns i praktiken inte, visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Marken är till stor del redan upptagen av exempelvis hästhållning. – Vår studie visar att potentialen för bioenergiproduktion på margina
