Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a digital cognitive test for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease that is intended for use in primary care. “This digital test, which patients perform on their own with minimal involvement from healthcare personnel, improves the primary care physician's ability to determine who should be further examined by blood tests for Alzheimer's pathology ear

This year’s largest grant from the IngaBritt och Arne Lundbergs Forskningsstiftelse goes to Vinay S. Swaminathan at Lund University. He is awarded five million SEK for his research on how healthy breast tissue develops into tumors and spreads. Vinay S. Swaminathan’s research group has developed 3D models that mimics the tumor microenvironment in the laboratory. The technology opens new opportuniti

Kompetensportalen, Lucat, Lupin, Lubas and LUCRIS. Those are the names of some of Lund University’s administrative systems. They are now also the names of five new bacteriophages that have recently been discovered in the ponds of Lund University’s Botanical Gardens. Bacteriophages – often abbreviated to phages – are viruses that attack bacteria. Phages are astonishingly effective assassins – these

Eating cheese and cream with a high fat content may be linked to a lower risk of developing dementia. This is shown by a new large-scale study from Lund University. The researchers analysed the dietary habits of more than 27,000 people and linked these to the occurrence of dementia over a follow-up period of up to 25 years. The debate about low-fat diets has long shaped our health advice and influ

A study center, a unified library, a student café, and an office for faculty management—plus a towering venue for events. Project manager and library director Kristina Holmin Verdozzi has grand visions for the Astronomy Building, which is set to undergo a complete transformation over the next three years.

A project at Lund University in Sweden has trained an AI model to identify breast cancer patients who could be spared from axillary surgery. The model analyses previously unutilised information in mammograms and pinpoints with high accuracy the individual risk of metastasis in the armpit. A newly completed study shows that the model indicates that just over 40 per cent of today’s axillary surgery

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In late May–early June, Lund University will hold a Nobel Symposium in Physics and Chemistry where newly discovered super-heavy elements will be discussed. The possibility for a Nobel Prize looms on the horizon, but the road ahead is not straightforward and competition between countries and researchers is fierce. Dirk

Sociologist of religion Linnea Jensdotter conducts research on the role of religion in politics. She has analysed 20,000 Facebook comments on articles from Sweden’s biggest news sites. Her analysis shows that religion is becoming more politicised. Some comments point to religion to assert “Swedish values”. Others display a genuine interest and a willingness to discuss. “What surprised me was that

A heated discussion under the hashtag Swedengate erupted on social media last spring. Swedes were accused of being strange as they did not invite their children’s friends to eat with them when the family was having dinner. The phenomenon was upsetting and ethnologist Håkan Jönsson was quickly inundated with questions. Are Swedes stingy? Swedengate came about when someone on the news and discussion

What happens if there is a power cut and the heating stops working for a long period of time? Besides the obvious consequences – that technology doesn’t work and it gets cold – how do we, as a society, prepare for such a crisis? Do we know who is supposed to do what when it happens? And who gets to decide on the crisis plans? There are many different unexpected and sudden events that can happen. A

It is time to summarise 2021, a year in which nothing was the same as before, if a year can ever be like another. For me personally, it has been transformative to take over as vice-chancellor of Lund University together with a new management team: deputy vice-chancellor Lena Eskilsson and the five pro vice-chancellors Per Mickwitz, Kristina Eneroth, Ann-Kristin Wallengren, Jimmie Kristensson and V

We all remember the disruptive boys in the class. The ones who shoplifted, got into playground fights and started smoking early. Some of these boys were quite simply displaying normal defiance and are now living a good and stable life as adults. But for a few of them, these were warning signs of risky behaviour that later led them on to a life of crime. Almost all teenagers have a tendency to brea

Wobbling and laughing, a few of the girls glide over the ice. They are holding hands in a chain. If one falls, they all go down. They are thirteen recently arrived girls and five volunteers in the Save the Children project, Girl to Girl, who are meeting on a Sunday at the ice rink in Lund. One of the volunteers is studying Human Rights as an activity for the Certificate of International Merits (CI
