Look at the dogs of today: the dainty Chihuahua, which most resembles a

According to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, approximately one in five Swedes are already choosing not to buy American brands. The majority would consider boycotting American products such as Coca-Cola in favour of European or Swedish alternatives.

It is a catalyst that will modernise the Faculty of Science, both at Brunnshög and Sölvegatan.

It was not an entirely uncontroversial decision to gather cancer researchers in the abandoned AstraZeneca premises ten years ago. Carl Borrebaeck was pro vice-chancellor at the time and pushed for the move which in itself cost SEK 50 million in central university funds. “I was not very popular with the deans at that time,” he says. “But now it turns out that Medicon Village is a great success and

När vanliga allergimediciner inte hjälper, kan vissa allergiska personer få immunterapi – ”allergivaccination”. Behandlingen pågår i flera år och är krävande, särskilt för dem som varje gång måste ta sig till en allergimottagning för att få sin spruta. Nu undersöker forskare vid Lunds universitet om man tidigt kan identifiera vilken effekt behandlingen tros kunna få – och därmed ringa in de person
