Prostate cancer questions could be answered through Big Data project
Data from more than 400 000 patients in different countries will be used to increase knowledge and improve treatment of prostate cancer. This is all taking place within the international big data for better outcome (BD4BO) project PIONEER, in which Lund University has a prominent role. Despite intensive research, there are many unanswered questions concerning prostate cancer – one of the most comm

How cells are able to turn
Researchers have long wondered how our cells navigate inside the body. Two new studies, in which Lund University researcher Pontus Nordenfelt has participated, have now demonstrated that the cells use molecular force from within to steer themselves in a certain direction. This knowledge may be of great significance in the development of new drugs. Pontus Nordenfelt, researcher in infection medicin

Practical problems following grant success
Success with grant applications leads to problems of an unexpected although pleasant kind. If your research team is almost doubled in size, where are all your colleagues supposed to work? And how are they to get access to laboratory equipment which is already fully booked? Johan Jakobsson in an unusually empty lab (the rest of his group were at a conference). After major success with grants, his p

Enzymes from Lund set to take over the world
Enzymes developed in Lund could be used in university and industry labs worldwide in the future. This is what Professor Eva Nordberg Karlsson hopes; her research group has signed a contract with an Icelandic biotech company that is going to sell their products. Eva Nordberg Karlsson wants to give other researchers reliable access to enzymes. Photo: Ingela Björck The contract is the result of an EU

Tape could simplify skin cancer diagnosis
The bad news about malignant melanoma is that the disease is increasing more rapidly than most other types of cancer. The good news is that it is easy to cure, as long as it is detected in time. A research group in Lund has therefore started a project that it is hoped will make it easier to correctly diagnose suspicious moles. Kari Nielsen (at the left).

“There are a lot of duties in this role”,
Being director of the International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics is about choosing what to do, and what not to do. At the start, Lena Neij travelled a lot, but now she sees representing the institute abroad as a responsibility shared by all the staff. She still supervises doctoral students, but doesn’t have the time she would like for her own research, nor for students and teac

PhD defence interview - Yiyi Yang
During her Ph.D. studies, Yiyi Yang has been investigating the role of microglia in the pathological development of Alzheimer’s disease. On the 3rd of June, it is time to defend her work supervised by Prof. Tomas Deierborg. Now, Yiyi tells us about her research in the Experimental Neuroinflammation Laboratory as being a part of MultiPark. Can you tell us about your Ph.D. research? The focus of our

ERC Advanced Grant for research on ferroelectric transistors
Lars-Erik Wernersson, professor of nanoelectronics, has received an ERC Advanced Grant for the integration of new materials into the high-performance, energy-efficient transistors and circuit solutions of the future. Silicon is the current material of choice for most transistors and other components. The problem is that in certain cases these parts consume a lot of energy and get hot, which can le

A new multipurpose on-off switch for inhibiting bacterial growth
Researchers in Lund have discovered an antitoxin mechanism that seems to be able to neutralise hundreds of different toxins and may protect bacteria against virus attacks. The mechanism has been named Panacea, after the Greek goddess of medicine whose name has become synonymous with universal cure. The understanding of bacterial toxin and antitoxin mechanisms will be crucial for the future success

New type of blood test gives more reliable diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease
A simple blood test with 90% accuracy that shows whether a patient has Alzheimer’s disease has floored the research community, which is calling it a gamechanger. Oskar Hansson, professor of neurology at Lund University and Skåne University Hospital, is leading the research team that has rapidly taken a major step towards better diagnostics. “The blood test will make it easier for general practitio

Presenting immobility as a climate adaptation strategy at COP30
Professor Emily Boyd will present immobility as a climate adaptation strategy at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP30, in Belém, Brazil. “The majority of people want to stay in place. We need to acknowledge and explore that as we adapt societies to climate change.” She explains that she was motivated to start researching the findings she is now presenting at COP30 with international
