How do you spark curiosity about science in classrooms and workplaces? One answer is Borrow a Researcher — a national outreach initiative that makes it easy for schools, non-profit organisations, and workplaces to meet active researchers. Twice a year, participants can book a researcher for a visit, either on site or online, to learn about research topics or what it is like to work as a scientist.

When it comes to some people, one can't help but think of the old quote Veni Vidi Vici*. And about Saonee Sarker, Professor of Informatics at Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM), this is fitting: She came in the middle of the pandemic and quickly became a part of LUSEM, she saw the possibilities of the department and the School, and yes, absolutely... conquered. Now she is l

Understanding the very first pathological events at the molecular level is key to developing treatments preventing neurodegenerative diseases. With a novel microspectroscopy approach combining optical and photothermal imaging, MultiPark researchers can follow early alterations of proteins involved in Alzheimer’s disease, before neurons degenerate. Their discoveries are published in the Journal of

The Stem Cell Laboratory for CNS Disease Modeling (CSC Laboratory) in Lund, has created one of the largest iPSC biobanks from patients diagnosed with familial and idiopathic PD, and associated synucleionopathies. iPSCs are obtained by reprogramming patient’s somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells. This unique technique, which allows generating embryonic pluripotent stem cell-like cells, was awa

Wobbling and laughing, a few of the girls glide over the ice. They are holding hands in a chain. If one falls, they all go down. They are thirteen recently arrived girls and five volunteers in the Save the Children project, Girl to Girl, who are meeting on a Sunday at the ice rink in Lund. One of the volunteers is studying Human Rights as an activity for the Certificate of International Merits (CI

On 1 January 2020, a new law will come into force that means that cases concerning research misconduct are to be forwarded to a new national board exclusively dedicated to this. At Lund University, this will involve two or three current cases that will not be finalised in time.  "The purpose of the act is good, however, the allocation of responsibilities between the new board and ourselves is unfo

A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the ability of microorganisms to adapt to climate warming will slow down global warming by storing carbon in soil. In the study, researchers collected soil samples from across Europe in a wide range of temperatures, from minus 3.1 to 18.3 degrees Celsius. The samples revealed that microorganisms in soils – such as bacteria and fungi – are stron

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A genetic study of small calcifications found in the lungs of the Lund 17th century bishop Peder Winstrup shows that tuberculosis is no older than about 6 000 years, as opposed to 70 000 years old as previously thought. The extremely well-preserved genome from the tuberculosis bacterium indicates that humankind was no

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that plant-eating insects affect forest ecosystems considerably more than previously thought. Among other things, the insects are a factor in the leaching of nutrients from soil and increased emissions of carbon dioxide. The researchers also establish that the temperatu

Thanks to the Gaia space telescope, scientists have discovered a black hole in the Milky Way. The object, Gaia BH3, is located in the Eagle constellation, less than 2 000 light years from the Sun. Lennart Lindegren, Professor Emeritus of Astronomy at the Department of Physics, who has worked for many years to develop the measurement methods used by Gaia, is delighted with the new space discovery.

Things are going well now, for our Faculty. Vice Dean Thomas Hellmark, Head of Education, is pleased with UHR's latest statistics. "More people want to study with us, so the admitted students' grades are rising, which means that they have better prior knowledge and thus better conditions to cope with their studies.” All our programmes have more reserve places than last year and most programmes hav

The risk of exposure to covid-19 virus particles increases the closer you are to a patient, the higher virus levels of the patient, and if ventilation is inadequate. Measurements of viruses in the hospital air by researchers at Lund University provide new knowledge on how best to adapt care to reduce the risk of infection. The international guidelines that currently exist in healthcare need revisi
