New construction is a time-consuming process. It always is, even when building a private house. And if you are building premises for a complex future organisation, it takes even longer. The University has been working on establishing operations in Science Village for many years and is still only on step 2 of the 9 steps in the building process. (The building process at Lund University is described

Identical twins share the same DNA, but one twin can suffer from type 2 diabetes while the other twin does not develop the disease. A study led by Lund University in Sweden has now discovered that there are differences in gene activity in twins where only one sibling had developed the disease. The researchers’ discovery could contribute to the development of new treatment methods. “Identical twins

Can you tell me a little about your research area?I research diseases and conditions of the hip joint that affect children but can also cause pain and osteoarthritis in adulthood. One example is hip dysplasia, where the acetabulum does not sufficiently cover the femoral head. Hip dysplasia occurs in 0.5-1% of newborns in Sweden and is almost always detected at the maternity ward. When diagnosed ea
