När världspolitiken dominerar rubrikerna riskerar de lokala frågorna att hamna i skymundan. Under årets första HBG Live riktade paneldeltagarna därför blicken mot kommuner och regioner – och hur den lokala demokratin egentligen mår inför valet i september. Dalia Mukhtar-Landgren, docent och universitetslektor vid Lunds universitet, Anders Sannerstedt, affilierad forskare vid Lunds universitet, och

Forskningsnämnden har arbetat fram en ny forskningsstrategi för 2023–26 som nu har godkänts av universitetsstyrelsen. Strategin består av två delar. Den första delen beskriver vad vi vill uppnå, vilka kärnvärden vi står för och vad vi behöver för att vi ska kunna nå våra mål. Den andra beskriver prioriterade frågor som vi ska arbeta med under de kommande åren och ger vissa riktlinjer för hur vi sk

Obesity is commonly diagnosed using BMI, but this approach has several limitations. Researchers at Lund University and AstraZeneca show that integrating measurements such as body fat percentage and waist circumference captures disease risks missed by BMI alone.   In recent years, research has shown that there are several limitations with BMI alone when it comes to assessing adiposity quantity, dis

For the last three years, middle-school classrooms in Lund and Staffanstorp have been getting a special visit during the autumn: scientists walk in with stories about their favorite research topic and what it is like to work in a lab. This is the Science to Schools program, an initiative that began as an idea from PhD student Abigail Altman and has now grown into a collaboration involving Lund Ste

A large international collaboration involving researchers from Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center has taken an important step toward making induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)–based therapies more globally accessible. Published in Stem Cell Reports, the study presents the first data‑driven international benchmarking of key quality control assays, showing how standardized methods can reduce v

Researchers at the Lund Stem Cell Center, Lund University, have discovered that a population of B cells formed shortly after birth store long-term immune memory and, in mice, can give rise to leukemia much later in life. Published in Cell Reports, the findings reveal how immune events at the very beginning of life can leave lasting biological imprints, linking early development to disease in old a

With the aid of two satellites and machine learning, researcher Hakim Abdi is mapping the composition of tree species in Swedish forests down to the individual stands. Through the creation of a method capable of generating annual maps of tree diversity, his aim is to assist in forest management and decision-making regarding both climate and biodiversity strategies.

Lund University is proposing changes to clarify how its operations in Helsingborg are strategically managed. The reason for this is that it is not always clear at present who is responsible for what, and that there is sometimes overlap between different parts of the organisation. Responsibility for education and research remains with the faculties. Here you will find the latest updates on the chan

A new study tracking three decades of municipal data challenges a common narrative, finding that while some state services have become more centralised, rural areas have not experienced larger declines in public employment than cities. In several key welfare services, rural municipalities have even strengthened their position. The idea that rural communities are being abandoned by the public secto
