The stiffness of tumour tissue plays a role in how cancer spreads. Furthermore, stiff tumour tissue leaves traces in the affected cells. This is shown by two recent research studies from Lund University. "This helps us to better understand how the mechanical properties of the tumour microenvironment actively drive cancer development and spread,” says Vinay Swaminathan, senior lecturer at Lund Univ

Where will the chemists and the physicists be located in the future? A recent report shows that it will be much more expensive to move to Science Village than if they stay on Sölvegatan. The evaluation report compares three options: Chemistry and physics establish activities in Science Village and move thereKemicentrum is renovated and expanded, and the physicists move in there to be with the chem

He has designed a transport box that keeps hearts alive outside the body and developed a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device. But during a visit to nuns in Africa, he was suspected of being a spy. Meet Stig Steen, a post-retirement professor of thoracic surgery, who is driven by an unshakeable belief that the greatest things in life are on the other side of the mountain. If Stig Steen had f

Emma Kritzberg took the train to a meeting on Mallorca. A journey that took 54 hours and cost double what it would have to fly a couple of hours to the Mediterranean island. Yet, flying was never an option. She has not flown once for work or privately in the last six years, a conscious decision she took to reduce her carbon footprint. Emma Kritzberg, professor at the Department of Biology, stepped

Taking the step from senior lecturer to professor can feel like a big one. What does it actually take? Which qualifications should be highlighted, and what might need further development? This autumn, the Faculty of Science is therefore launching a new workshop series for those considering whether a professorship might be their next step. The initiative comes from Sofie Ceberg, Senior Lecturer at

The quest to control the remarkable phenomena of quantum physics is ongoing around the world. This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics is making the subject even hotter. Lund University is also involved in exploring the unknown – and at times mind-boggling – perspectives of quantum states.

Obesity is commonly diagnosed using BMI, but this approach has several limitations. Researchers at Lund University and AstraZeneca show that integrating measurements such as body fat percentage and waist circumference captures disease risks missed by BMI alone.   In recent years, research has shown that there are several limitations with BMI alone when it comes to assessing adiposity quantity, dis
