Investigating air pollution is not for researchers afraid of heights. One of the fearless is Erik Ahlberg, a combustion physicist at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH). His working days are often spent far above ground – currently on the roof of Malmö Town Hall, where the instruments that capture air particles are located. There are many stairs in the town hall. The last staircase to the top of the

Autumn is underway, and Dean Per Persson highlights some of the key issues currently in focus for the faculty. Among other things, he writes about the research bill, the strong interest in visiting professorships, the work on gender equality and equal opportunities, and why it is important to keep the tradition of honorary doctors alive. The autumn term has begun, and in addition to everything tha

Den som själv är aktiv lär sig mer än den som bara lyssnar på andra. Därför jobbar jag mycket med tvärgrupper på olika sätt i min undervisning. Grundidén är att alla studenter ska få möjlighet att prata mycket samtidigt som de blir motiverade att själva ta ansvar för samtalet och därmed för sitt eget lärande.

Pancreatic cancer is currently very difficult to detect while it is still resectable. A new blood test developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden, Herlev Hospital, Knight Cancer Center and Immunovia AB, can detect pancreatic cancer in the very earliest stages of the disease. The results have been published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. Due to diffuse symptoms, pancreatic cancer i

The goal is set high, that during the coming ten years develop new methods to prevent, cure and treat diabetes. - Ambitious, but not unrealistic, says Leif Groop, coordinator for EXODIAB, the joint research project that Lund and Uppsala now will launch with a conference in Malmö September 9-10th.

Few research publications reach outside the realm of academia and even fewer make an impact on sustainability debates and societal issues. Kimberly Nicholas’ research on lifestyle choices to reduce your carbon footprint is unique in its reach and impact on society. Her research started with a question, asked by friends and students: what can I do for the climate that really makes a difference? Kim

Much research on diabetes focuses on understanding what happens when the insulin-producing cells are destroyed. Researchers at Lund University have instead chosen to investigate what protects the insulin-producing cells. Their research shows that a protein of the immune system protects the insulin-producing cells from inflammation and death. The study, published in PNAS, is an example of basic res

In his homeland, Syria, he was a museum director – but today there is not much left of the National Archaeological Museum in Raqqa after it was plundered by IS. “I try to do what I can to save the cultural heritage”, says Anas Al Khabour. He is the second researcher to have found their way to Lund via Scholars at Risk. Anas Al Khabour steps briskly into the empty foyer at LUX after giving a digita

After screening 15 000 women over a period of five years, a major clinical study in Sweden has shown that 3D mammography, or breast tomosynthesis, detects over 30% more cancers compared to traditional mammography – with a majority of the detected tumours proving to be invasive cancers. The extensive screening study was conducted by Lund University and Skåne University Hospital in Sweden, and the r

2020 will be remembered as the year when the coronavirus paralysed the world. At the same time, the negative effect of climate change became increasingly apparent, and the pleas to listen to the scientist and the calls for action became even more urgent. What changes for the climate do researchers want to see in 2021? Researchers in climate and sustainability at Lund University list their hopes an

For hundreds of years, people have made a living from livestock herding in rural Kenya. Today, their traditional way of life is increasingly burdened by the effects of climate change and population growth. In his doctoral thesis, Billy Jones examines why development aid projects in the region often fail – and how sustainable progress could instead be achieved with the help of local actors. Thirtee

Angry children can be a feature of Christmas. The fact is that the disappointment children feel is a great opportunity to train them for challenges later in life. This is according to Elia Psouni, professor of developmental psychology. A friend not turning up on time, a computer crashing in the middle of a game of Fortnite or a Christmas present that just could not be more wrong. “Disappointment i

In political debate, the notion of climate transition is often presented as a road lined with sacrifices. Many researchers, however, paint a picture of a day-to-day life that could be better than today’s. What is experienced as good or bad varies from one person to the next, and may vary over time.  “Whether something is getting better or worse is, of course, a subjective judgement. Norms change o

Nearly four in ten female upper secondary school students suffer from iron deficiency. Among vegetarians and vegans, seven in ten have low iron levels, according to a new study led by Agenda 2030 PhD student Anna Stubbendorff. The research has received considerable attention in the press, radio and television. "We were surprised by the results," says Anna Stubbendorff. The past two weeks have been
