There is a great need among the faculty's researchers for a good tool to transcribe audio and video files. The Department of Psychology has started to use such a tool that is both effective and within the current ethical rules. Faculty researchers are now being offered the opportunity to use the tool in autumn 2024. Within the framework of Lund University's e-infrastructure project, work is underw

A new structure for research infrastructure has been drawn up to ensure more secure long-term funding of university-wide research infrastructures, university platforms (core facilities). They are originated from the RQ20 report with the aim of make investments more long term, organise funding and facilitate strategic prioritisation. University platforms are defined as strategically important resea

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have found a new type of biomarker that can predict the risk of type 2 diabetes, by detecting epigenetic changes in specific genes through a simple blood test. The results are published today in Nature Communications. “This could motivate a person at risk to change their lifestyle”, says Karl Bacos, researcher in epigenetics at Lund University.Predicting th

It is estimated that 3,000-3,500 new international students will arrive at Lund University this autumn to study. A total of 1,394 international students arrived during Arrival Days (15-16 August). The Arrival Days are followed by the Orientation Weeks and both of these events together engage 250 LU employees, student workers and around one hundred mentors. The Arrival Days aim to welcome internati

Göran Jönsson, Professor of Molecular Oncology, has been granted SEK 31 million from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation to improve the effect of immunotherapy in the treatment of cancer patients. About 30 percent of melanoma patients with metastatic disease benefit from immunotherapy. At the same time, this means that 70 percent of all melanoma patients still lack effective treatment options

Low age, the number of hours spent on the internet/social media, feelings of loneliness and thoughts about seeking treatment for mental illness. All of these are associated with problem gaming over the internet. This is one of the findings of a study recently published by researchers at Lund University that includes all types of screen games. “The study shows that some of the individuals who play

Världsdiabetesdagen firas den 14 november, Frederick Bantings födelsedag. Han har fått äran av att 1921 ha upptäckt insulinet. För nästan 2000 år sedan gav den turkiske läkaren Aretaios sjukdomen sitt namn. ”Det syns mig som om sjukdomen bör kallas diabetes – något som liknar ett vattenrör, därför att vätskan inte stannar i kroppen utan använder människan som ett vattenrör, genom vilket den rinner

Researchers have identified 395 genes that are differently expressed in people with type 2 diabetes. One of the genes proved to be very strongly associated with impaired insulin secretion. Now, researchers want to investigate if it is possible to use the genetic CRISPR/Cas9 scissors to correct the gene’s activity. The research team’s scientific paper was published in the Journal of Clinical Invest

The LERU meetings for deans are a priority for social scientists and lawyers. These meetings have provided social scientists with new ways to approach the EU, and lawyers with doctoral student exchanges with other prestigious LERU universities. So says Ann-Katrin Bäcklund – dean at the Faculty of Social Sciences for more than six years –, and Mia Rönnmar, newly appointed dean of the Faculty of Law

Where, how often, and how much it is going to rain or snow in the future is difficult to predict. Anders Ahlström studies the importance of precipitation for ecosystems on Earth – and contributes with new knowledge in a complex and fraught area. Across the world, researchers are in agreement on future warming patterns. However, future precipitation is more difficult to predict, and climate models

A new study confirms that a simple blood test can reveal whether there is accelerating nerve cell damage in the brain. The researchers analysed neurofilament light protein (NFL) in blood samples from patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Recently published in JAMA Neurology, the study suggests that the NFL concentration in the blood could be able to indicate if a drug actually affects the loss of ner
