Entire genome of common forest pest now revealed

Researchers have successfully mapped the entire genome of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle. The breakthrough paves the way for new research into bark beetles and better prospects for effective pest control of a species that can destroy more than 100 million cubic metres of spruce forest during a single year in Europe and Asia. Mapping the genome of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle enables a far deep

Czech-Danish duo receives major award

This year’s Nordic Prize from the Fernström Foundation – one of the largest medical prizes in Scandinavia– is awarded to two cancer researchers, Jiri Bartek and Jiri Lukas, for their research on cellular responses to DNA damage. Genetically damaged cells that cannot repair their genomes without mistakes pose a major risk of cancer and other diseases. Every year, the Eric K. Fernström Foundation pr

WCMM Fellow Vinay Swaminathan SEK 5 million from the IngaBritt and Arne Lundberg Research Foundation

This year’s largest grant from the IngaBritt and Arne Lundberg Research Foundation goes to WCMM Fellow Vinay Swaminathan at Lund University, who has been awarded SEK 5 million for a project that aims to uncover how healthy breast tissue develops into tumours and spreads. Swaminathan’s research group studies the early stages of cancer development using advanced 3D tissue models that mimic the tumou

A new eye on the universe opens in Chile

A new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile has recently captured its first starlight. This marks the beginning of a new era in astronomy, as researchers prepare to map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument does not take ordinary images of the night sky. Instead, 4MOST – the Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope – collects spectra, that

Climathon in Lund 2018

“Solutions to limit the climate impact of plastics” was the topic of this years Climathon in Lund. The 24 hour hackathon gathered 54 participants and was thereby one of the larger among the 113 Climathons held simultaneous all around the world. Climathon in Lund was organised by a consortia of five very different organisations, Lunds Universitet, Lunds Kommun, Sysav, Ideon Innovation, EIT Climate-

Lund´s Fernström prize goes to research on genes

Marju Orho-Melander, professor of genetic epidemiology in Malmö, has been awarded Lund University’s Fernström prize. Her research is about genetic variants that are associated with blood lipids and lipoproteins and can therefore increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Many genes exist in different variants. Sometimes, some of the variants have a negative effect, in particular if they are comb
