Stort grattis till Charlotte Ling som får ett anslag på fem miljoner danska kronor från Novo Nordisk Foundation. Det handlar om klinisk forskning inom precisionsmedicin med epigenetisk analys av blod från 13 000 personer. Charlotte Ling, som är professor i diabetesforskning och med ett särskilt fokus på epigenetik, har under 10 år forskat på epigenetiska biomarkörer som kan förutspå hur patienter

År 2023 var det varmaste året som någonsin har uppmätts och 2024 kommer att bli ännu varmare. Demokratin är på tillbakagång och bristen på mat ökar, som en följd av militära konflikter, ekonomiska kriser och extremväder. Förenta nationernas möjligheter att agera globalt är betydligt sämre än tidigare, som en följd av det geopolitiska läget. Detta under en tid när vi verkligen skulle behöva interna
Den 12 december presenterade regeringen forsknings- och innovationspropositionen med titeln ”Forskning och innovation för framtid, nyfikenhet och nytta”. En samlad bedömning av propositionen visar att den är mycket mer utmanande för Lunds universitet än någon tidigare forskningsproposition. Den erbjuder stora möjligheter för många forskare och olika typer av forskning, samtidigt som den styr forsk

Många av universitetets forskare publicerar fantastisk forskning som har gjorts med hjälp av artificiell intelligens (AI). Många är nyfikna på att testa AI för att förbättra, förenkla eller påskynda åtminstone någon del av forskningsprocessen. Samtidigt ställer sig många frågan ”vad får man använda AI till?” Utgångspunkten när du använder AI i forskningen är att följa grundprinciperna för forsknin

För att uppnå Parisavtalets 1,5-gradersmål måste runt hälften av utsläppsminskningarna komma från minskad konsumtion. Detta framgår av det europeiska forskningsprojektet EU 1,5° Lifestyles. Enbart den gröna omställningen i industrin räcker inte för att nå klimatmålen. Forskningen visar hur Europas samhällen kan ställa om till hållbara livsstilar i linje med 1,5-gradersmålet och pekar på att det in

A new centre to stimulate interest in science, technology and research is being built at Campus Helsingborg. In the long term, the Helsingborg Science Centre will attract 50,000 visitors a year, following the example of the Vattenhallen Science Centre in Lund. Lund University, together with the City of Helsingborg, Wihlborgs, Navet Analytics and the Helsingborg Trade Association, is laying the fou

A lot has happened in coagulation medicine since Jan Astermark first started his research in the 1980s. The most recent progress is in gene therapy and the first patients with severe haemophilia who were treated in Malmö last year. “It is fantastically exciting to work in a research field where so much is happening. The research and the progress in treatment that have taken place in recent decades

An international research team led from Lund University, has identified epigenetic biomarkers that can predict which people with type 2 diabetes are at risk of cardiovascular disease. The study is now published in Cell Reports Medicine. People with type 2 diabetes are up to four times more likely to have heart attacks, strokes, anginas and other coronary heart diseases than healthy people. Therefo

Senior lecturer, Nadja Sörgärde, has received the students' award for excellence in teaching. Her students praise her extraordinary level of engagement. She personally believes the engagement is connected to the fact she thinks it is fun to teach – especially through seeing how her students develop.

Threats and hate speech from outside are certainly very trying. But could they be even worse when they come from within the organisation? What if you barely dare to go to work because you get threatened – or you are not even allowed in to work because you are accused of threatening someone else? The vice dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Jimmie Kristensson, has dedicated a great deal of energy to m

The Swedish Migration Agency should speed up visa processing for international students and researchers – a move that Lund University has eagerly awaited. And more Swedish students should study abroad. These are two of the proposals in the report of the Swedish Government’s commission of inquiry on increased internationalisation at higher education institutions (HEIs). The long processing times at

LU managed the transition to digital teaching. But the spring Coronavirus crisis had a negative impact on students in Lund. They found the digital exams to be stressful and sometimes unfair. This is what emerges from the student unions’ surveys whose results have now been compiled. In late spring, seven students’ unions sent out seven somewhat different surveys. 1900 students responded. The questi
