By describing his research as a battle between good and evil and likening himself to a hacker who attacks cancer cells to make them kind, PhD student Luís Oliveira took home the win in this year's Research Grand Prix. It is a competition in presentation technique for researchers, and it was held in front of an audience of almost 400 students at Helsingborg's Stadsteater on 1 October. His presentat
Olga Zimmermannova from the Pereira Research Group has been awarded the 2024 Article of the Year Award. She received the award for her research on reprogramming cancer cells into dendritic cells of the immune system as a potential cancer therapy. The Lund Stem Cell Center Article of the Year Award, presented annually since 2017, highlights exceptional research conducted at the Center that contribu

Two researchers at Lund Stem Cell Center receive grants, 61 million, for research into immunological long-term memory and reprogramming of tumor cells. The research should lead to more effective vaccination strategies and immunotherapies. The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation has granted SEK 835 million to 30 different projects in medicine, natural science and technology that are deemed to have

Researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center have made a new discovery about how the human genome protects itself from disruption during critical stages of life. Their study, recently published in Nature Communications, reveals how two key defense mechanisms—DNA methylation and the HUSH complex—work together to safeguard genomic stability. The human genome contains large stretches of rep

Researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center have made new strides in understanding why some patients with chronic myeloid leukemia respond better to treatment than others. Their study, recently published in eLife, suggests that the amount of healthy blood stem cells at diagnosis could be a key factor in predicting how well patients will respond to standard therapies. Chronic myeloid leu
On October 18, 2024, two researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center were awarded funding from the Mats Paulsson Foundation for Research, Innovation, and Societal Development. A total of 16 million SEK was distributed to life science projects across Skåne, with a focus on advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs). This year, the foundation, which supports research with "high innovation potential and
Malin Parmar, professor of cellular neuroscience, along with three researchers in Italy and Denmark, has been awarded the prestigious ERC Synergy Grant worth EUR 10 million. The four researchers aim to develop custom-made neurons from stem cells for cell therapies to treat Parkinson’s or Huntington’s disease.

After 20 years of research on gene therapy and the rare blood disease, Diamond–Blackfan Anemia, DBA, researcher Johan Flygare had reached a point where he and his colleagues had done everything they could in the lab. Even though they had proof of concept their gene therapy would work, engaging companies had been difficult. Then, in 2021, he received an e-mail. The message came from American entrep

Researcher Emma Hammarlund realized that geological measurement methods can also be used for medical purposes. With a simple hair sample, she hopes to find cancer at an early stage. First in the study are prostate cancer and breast cancer. Now her project has been selected for the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences' (IVA) 100 list. The list also includes eight other research projects fr
