It will be a big change in many ways for David Fenyö as he now gets the possibility to return to Sweden after 34 years in the US. Thanks to a grant of SEK 50 million from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, he can now move his research in precision medicine to Lund University. And he is familiar with Sweden from childhood. “We came from Hungary to Sweden when I was five years old and spoke H

It is not every day that the inauguration of a toilet draws a hundred spectators. Such a toilet would have to be pretty special – and this one is. It is special because it is flushed using rain water gathered from the roof of Kemicentrum. LUM was able to follow the rainwater’s journey from parapet to porcelain. An ordinary toilet flush uses around five litres of water. The water used is the same a

Mohamed Eldeeb defended his Ph.D. thesis on June 9, 2023. With a passion for scientific discovery with clinical impact, Mohamed has dedicated the last four years to unraveling the mysteries as to why some children develop pediatric leukemia and others don’t. His research shed light on the mechanisms that prevent and suppress leukemia initiation, paving the way for more effective and targeted treat
For the first time, researchers have been able to measure the quantum state of electrons ejected from atoms that have absorbed high-energy light pulses. This is thanks to a new measurement technique developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden. The results can provide a better understanding of the interaction between light and matter. When high-energy light with a very short frequency in
