Here, she tells about the newly discovered genetic risk factor that might be specific to people in the southern part of Sweden. And is coffee really protective? Tell us about your research! “My research

New research unlocking the secrets in our blood of early death and disease risk

Being able to predict diseases before they develop has become somewhat akin to the search for the Holy Grail. The difference is that research has a greater chance of success in finding what they are looking for than King Arthur's knights did. And in many cases, there are significant health benefits to being able to predict disease risk early: prevention is better than cure. Biomarkers are trace el

The road to a self-driving future

What happens when we get out of the driver's seat and our vehicles become autonomous? Mathematician Viktor Larsson is developing methods to enable cars and drones to see their surroundings. This is his insight into the self-driving present and future. Cameras, satnav, laser, radar and sensors. To earn the prefix ‘self-driving’, or ‘autonomous’, vehicles need a range of technologies capable of both

The new normal – a literature review

Covid-19 and the subsequent closure of universities around the world have meant that we all quickly had to learn how to teach remotely. Educators all over the world have gathered experiences and evaluated them, and talk about the present as a "new normal" where both teachers and students expect universities to take advantage of knowledge and skills acquired during the pandemic.

The Virus War

Right now, everything is focused on managing the coronavirus. However, even before COVID-19, viral pandemics around the world were increasing and the ’ordinary’ influenza virus and common cold virus cost society enormous amounts of money each year. Swedish virus researchers say they could improve the world with the help of increased resources and knowledge. A new virus centre is opening in Lund. V

Humanities late joining the Horizon 2020 train

Previous EU framework programmes have focused largely on engineering, medicine and science, but over the next seven years, the EU wants to see more interdisciplinary research and collaboration, as well as more social science and humanities. But will Horizon 2020 be the breakthrough that the humanities have hoped for? “We are heading in the right direction, but we’re not there yet”, says Wim van de

“It is everyone's responsibility to get vaccinated”

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 solid evidence”, he says. A lot of the criticism against vaccines occurs on social

Torsten Krause comments on the WWF-report on deforestation fronts

A recent report by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) identifies 24 places across the world that are hotspots for deforestation - and where forests are under threat. A staggering over 43 million of hectares were lost in these areas between 2004 and 2017 - an area roughly the size of Morocco. Torsten Krause, who researches forest hunting, biodiversity and deforestation, comments on the report. What a

Designer babies and intelligent robots: how new life is challenging humankind

IT IS HIGH TIME that we start thinking about how we define life, according to a group of Lund University researchers. An army of intelligent robots is growing in front of us, but also opportunities to alter people’s DNA, create super babies and, perhaps, to encounter life in space.“Human beings have always dreamed of playing God. With the help of new technology, we are able to reduce unnecessary s
