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
Climathon in Lund 2018
This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. “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 orga

Exploring Genomic Dark Matter: Christopher Douse Awarded $1.2M Grant by Chan Zuckerberg Initiative
Christopher Douse, a new group leader at the Faculty of Medicine at Lund University, has been awarded the Ben Barres Early Career Acceleration Award by The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. This award includes a $1.2 million grant to support his lab’s exploration of the repetitive portion of the human genome, so-called ‘genomic dark matter’, and its role in human brain development and degeneration. Repe
The war between bacteria and their virus
There is a constant war between bacteria and their viruses, bacteriophages, where both try to outsmart each other. An international study led by Lund University provided an important missing bit to the puzzle of how the bacteria defend themselves against phages. This is an important stepping stone towards developing effective phage-based therapies to be used as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacte

Auto-regulating channels supply our cells with magnesium
An international team of researchers, led by scientists at Lund University, has uncovered how magnesium enters mitochondria. Magnesium is a vital mineral that plays a key role in numerous biological processes in the body. Among other functions, it is crucial for the mitochondria—the power plants of our cells—to produce and utilize ATP, the body’s primary energy molecule. When mitochondrial functio

Governing sex work. New way of categorizing prostitution policy may be the standard for years to come
Social anthropologist Petra Östergren’s research rethinks prostitution policies and receives international response and praise. Her chapter "From zero-tolerance to full integration. Rethinking prostitution policies" has now been published in The Sage Handbook of Global Sexuality. According to professor Hendrik Wagenaar at Kings College in London it is a "seminal typology of prostitution policies"
EU funding for killer cells that fight cancer
As certain tumor cells are able to conceal themselves in the body, it often means that patients with aggressive cancers experience a recurrence of the cancer after treatment. By programming genetically modified killer immune cells to seek and destroy the hiding tumor cells and tumor stem cells, it is hoped that we can develop more effective treatment options. An international research project, wit

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
