A growing body of research shows that diabetes can be stratified into five different subgroups. Researchers at Lund University have now investigated whether a person’s genetic predisposition to different diabetes subgroups can help assess the risk of developing coronary artery disease. The team created genetic risk scores and found that the scores for one subgroup could predict coronary artery dis

Lund University leads a new network researching law, religion, and governance in post-imperial Muslim-majority societies. Eleven European universities are participating with 15 PhD students. Four of these will be based in Lund. The grant will fund the new doctoral network MINARET. The researchers will study how constitutional change unfolds in Muslim-majority societies shaped by imperial legacies.

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

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed methods to simulate how breast tumours grow and how breast tissue changes over time. By digitally replicating both the anatomy of the breast and the development of tumours, new, advanced imaging technology can be tested more quickly and safely than is currently possible – without exposing patients to radiation or subjecting them to further ex

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated the link between exposure to PFAS and the development of asthma. The results show that among children whose mothers had very high levels of PFAS exposure during pregnancy, the risk of asthma was significantly higher than among children whose mothers had lower levels of PFAS exposure. PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are

When in life we gain weight can have a significant impact on our health many years later. In a study involving over 600,000 people, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated how changes in weight between the ages of 17 and 60 are linked to the risk of dying from various diseases. The results show a clear pattern: weight gain early in adulthood has the greatest impact. It has long

Men with severely reduced fertility are at greater risk of developing other health conditions later in life. A research team from Lund University in Sweden has now shown that these men are also more likely to develop colorectal cancer and thyroid cancer. The link between male infertility and an increased risk of disease is a relatively new area of research in reproductive health. Previous studies

Sweden's kidney exchange programme has been operational since 2018 and will soon be expanded to include the entire EU. The programme has meant that previous patient waiting times of up to two years have been reduced to just six months. Tommy Andersson, Professor of Economics at Lund University School of Economics and Management, never imagined his research would one day lead to this - but his joy,

The development of batteries for electric vehicles has progressed much faster than experts and policymakers had anticipated. New research shows that the market is well equipped to cope with both raw material shortages and price increases. This raises questions about which materials are actually critical to the energy transition, according to the researchers. A new study has analysed battery develo

Every year a small songbird, no heavier than a letter, crosses the Sahara Desert, the Mediterranean and the Arabian Desert on its migration. New research from Lund University in Sweden now reveals how the tiny bird manages this arduous journey: by flying night after night - and doing nothing during the day. The thrush nightingale is a songbird is a long-distance traveller that arrives in Sweden in

The stiffness of tumour tissue plays a role in how cancer spreads. Furthermore, stiff tumour tissue leaves traces in the affected cells. This is shown by two recent research studies from Lund University. "This helps us to better understand how the mechanical properties of the tumour microenvironment actively drive cancer development and spread,” says Vinay Swaminathan, senior lecturer at Lund Univ

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have carried out the most detailed mapping to date of the epigenome in the cells that regulate the body’s blood sugar levels. The study, published in Nature Metabolism, shows how chemical changes to DNA affect both insulin-producing beta cells and glucagon-producing alpha cells – and how these patterns change in type 2 diabetes. All cells in the body have t

Our memory records details and detects patterns in everyday life - often without us even realising it. Researchers at Lund University have for the first time succeeded in showing that the brain does both these things simultaneously in real time. To investigate this, everyday situations from the computer game The Sims were used to understand how we process information in real life. We rely on our m

In Sweden, more resources have been allocated to expanding outpatient psychiatric care while the number of inpatient beds is steadily declining. A study by Lund University shows a statistical link between fewer psychiatric beds and higher suicide rates. The study was published in The Lancet Regional Health –Europe. Demand for psychiatric care is rising, and in 2024 the National Board of Health and

Campusutvecklingskontoret arbetar med att ta fram universitetets campusplan genom omvärldsbevakningar, möten och workshoppar med verksamheten. Grundläggande för arbetet med campusplanen är att identifiera vad som är universitetets intressen och vad som är viktigt att tillgodose. Alla fakulteter har haft representanter i workshopparna. Hitintills har tre tematiska workshoppar arrangerats, de har ha

Det är viktigt att doktorander, oberoende av form och finansiering, så långt som möjligt har samma möjligheter och förutsättningar att komma in på och genomföra sin forskarutbildning. Tyvärr är det inte så idag, utan det ser väldigt olika ut på fakulteterna. Ibland beror det på de olika ämnenas förutsättningar men ibland är det bara så att vi inte har stämt av med varandra.
