The climate issue is one of the biggest global societal challenges of our time. Research on where the climate is heading is an important part of that work, both to monitor the impact of emission reductions agreed between countries worldwide in Paris 2015, but also to be better prepared for the elements of climate change we will not be able to avoid. A climate model developed by researchers from Lu

Snow still lies like a soft white quilt over Lund as I meet Sofie Ceberg, Senior Lecturer and the Faculty’s new Coordinator for gender equality and equal opportunities. After a long winter break, she is full of energy and eager to take on the assignment. The role is intended to strengthen the Faculty’s long-term work on gender equality and equal opportunities (shortened to "JoL" in Swedish), with

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. By 2023 the University is to have reduced its CO2 emissions by half, according to the new sustainability plan. Things look promising right now due to Covid-19 – there will be a radical reduction this year as air travel is the biggest CO2 villain. The number of flights booked between April and October 2020 fell by 97 p

The information age predates the internet by a long stretch – it began with life itself. Nobel Laureate Craig C. Mello described at the Lund Spring Symposium in May how living organisms are not merely carriers of genes, but also active managers, defenders, and editors of genetic information. Craig Mello, who received the Nobel Prize in 2006 for the discovery of RNA interference (RNAi), together wi

What role does an inflammatory protein have in disease development? Which neuronal circuits cause different symptoms? How may diabetes affect Parkinson’s disease? Can motor signs be identifies early in individuals at risk for the disease? And how should patients in very advanced disease stages be treated to maintain their quality of life? These questions may soon have answers thanks to several ong

Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person to another. This can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group at Lund University in Sweden has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a

Turismperspektivet är en bra ingång för att förstå vårt samhälle, skriver Malin Zillinger i tidskriften Organisation & Samhälle. Turism handlar lika mycket om rumslig förflyttning som om samhälleliga utvecklingsprocesser som griper in i varandra. Här reflekterar hon kring turismmobilitet som en av många mobiliteter, turismens roll för att upprätthålla nära relationer samt hur svårt det är att tänk

What if ordinary skin cells could be effectively reprogrammed to become brain cells and help with diseases like Alzheimer's? And what if machine learning allowed surgeons to precisely remove tumour cells on the operating table? These are the areas of research that Emil Andersson has been exploring to get closer to a solution. He successfully defended his PhD in computational biology at CEC. His th

When we think of dinosaurs, we often imagine majestic giants that ruled the Earth millions of years ago. But even these ancient creatures were not immune to diseases familiar to humans today, such as osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is relatively rare in today’s wild mammals (less than 1%) but is not uncommon in domestic or working animals like dogs and horses, as well as in birds, with a prevalence
