These are busy days for Lars-Erik Wernersson. After participating in the 2024 Royal Technology Mission (RTM) to the Netherlands in a delegation led by HM The King and IVA’s Chair Marcus Wallenberg, he headed right into the inauguration of the Vinnova Competence Centre Advanced Chip Technology (ACT). Next stop is the Compound Semiconductor Week (CSW) – the premier conference in the field of science

Researchers from Lund University, together with the Roche pharmaceutical company, have used a method to develop a new blood marker capable of detecting whether or not a person has Alzheimer’s disease. If the method is approved for clinical use, the researchers hope eventually to see it used as a diagnostic tool in primary healthcare. This autumn, they will start a trial in primary healthcare to te

Tremendous amounts of money, an ambitious and carefully considered appointment process and major start-up packages for new employees – these are the three things that characterise WCMM, the Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine in Lund. Professor Freddy Ståhlberg is the director of WCMM. WCMM in Lund has sister organisations at the universities in Umeå, Gothenburg and Linköping. Together with t

There is a lot happening at the moment within the University concerning LU’s engagement in the work environment and equal opportunities. It is time to elect health and safety representatives – a very significant role. We are also marking 150 years since women gained the right to study at university and highlighting the fantastic attendance when LU took part in Pride for the first time. Take the op
On 12 December, the Government presented the Research and Innovation Bill entitled “Research and Innovation for the Future, Curiosity and Benefit”. An overall assessment of the Bill shows that it is much more challenging for Lund University than any previous Research Bill. It offers great opportunities for many researchers and different types of research, while stearing research more than earlier

Inflammation is a natural reaction of the body’s immune system to an aggressor or an injury, but if the inflammatory response is too strong it becomes harmful. Inflammatory processes occur in the brain in conjunction with stroke and neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Researchers from Lund University and Karolinska Institutet in close collaboration with University of

For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals – small oxygen molecules that are sometimes needed, but that can also damage our cells. The study is published in Nature Communications and was led from Lund University. For our cells to function, they need to maintain a careful balance between beneficial and harmful oxygen molecules known as free ra

Vår livsmedelsproduktion och konsumtion är drivande krafter för ökade utsläpp av växthusgaser och påverkar även vår hälsa och risk för dödlighet. Förekomsten av hjärt-kärlsjukdom, diabetes och cancer är hög och ökar stadigt. Forskare från Lunds universitet och RISE har i en ny studie kunnat visa på värdefulla hälsofördelar med minskad risk för tidig död orsakad av hjärt-kärlsjukdom och cancer, om

On Thursday 10th of November 2016, we had another inspiring edition of the Development Research Day, a flagship annual event at Lund University bringing together all disciplines working on development issues since 2002. This year the Development Research Day was hosted by the Human Geography department and was dedicated to Sustainable Development Goal no. 2: “End hunger, achieve food security and
En observationsstudie från Lunds universitet som undersökt sockerkonsumtion, har fått stor nationell och internationell uppmärksamhet. Studien visar att sötade drycker har större negativ inverkan på hälsan än andra sockerkällor. De ökade signifikant risken för ischemisk stroke, hjärtsvikt, förmaksflimmer och bråck på bukens kroppspulsåder. Av de 70 000 svenskar som deltog i hälsostudien, blev 26 0

I en studie jämförde forskare Vasaloppsåkare med övrig befolkning och såg att risken att utveckla epilepsi var hälften så stor hos dem som åkt loppet. Studien visar inte på orsakssamband, men forskarna menar att det stärker teorier om träningens positiva effekter på hjärnan. Fördelarna med träning är många: det är bra för våra blodkärl, skelettet och vårt psykiska välbefinnande samtidigt som det m
