Fredagkväll i Lund och strax ska Mikael Dolsten, hyllad forskningschef och gästprofessor i farmakologi vid Medicinska fakulteten, berätta den osannolika, men sanna, historien om hur det gick till när hans företag på nio månader tog fram ett av de vaccin som kan frälsa oss från pandemin. Det borde tagit nio år, om det nu inte varit oår. Heta forskarfrågor dryftades, vyer vidgades och hopp ingavs om
B cells and the antibodies they produce play an important role in our immune system, protecting us from the microscopic enemies that make us ill. Uncovering how they form and are ‘programmed’ during development is key to better understanding the immune response to infections and vaccinations. A new study by researchers from Lund University in Sweden provides new insights into the origin and develo

Sepsis is a very complicated and precarious condition. Research groups in Lund and Zurich have now developed a way to use mass spectrometry to measure hundreds of proteins in a single blood sample. With the help of protein patterns it is then possible to determine the severity of the condition and which organs have been damaged. The method is now presented in an article in Nature Communications. “

In a unique project, researchers from Lund University in Sweden, together with universities in South Africa, the Netherlands and the USA, will for the first time systematise large amounts of historical data from the Dutch East India Company’s colonisation of South Africa. Their aim: to find out when and how colonial processes arose, and how they may have continued to impact young nations up to mod

Infertility is now a condition as common as diabetes. On the one hand, women are waiting until they are older to have children, which makes it more difficult to get pregnant, but some studies also indicate a drastic decline in sperm counts in men over the past 50 years. Repro Union 2.0 is a Danish-Swedish initiative to reduce infertility in the EU. Aleksander Giwercman, a consultant physician and

Nyligen lämnade socialtjänsten i Malmö på polisens begäran ut sekretessbelagda uppgifter om papperslösa familjer. Denna begäran var en del av polisens intensifierade arbete med att söka efter och avvisa personer som lever i papperslöshet. Således agerade Malmös socialtjänst som polisens förlängda arm.Från Socialhögskolans sida vill vi lyfta fram vikten av ett professionsetiskt perspektiv, vilket i
Vid besvär av bland annat oregelbunden hjärtrytm, yrsel eller svimning kan EKG behöva registreras under flera dygn – långtids-EKG – som sedan granskas för att hitta avvikelser i hjärtrytmen. Arbetet är både tids- och resurskrävande. I en stor internationell klinisk studie har forskare därför testat om AI kan ersätta människan för analys och bedöming av långtids-EKG. Resultatet: 14 gånger färre mis

A new COVID-19 antibody test developed by scientists at Lund University in Sweden has shown robust performance upon clinical validation and application. The test detects antibodies in the blood targeting the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, and determines in just 15 minutes whether a person has had COVID-19, regardless of whether they have had any symptoms. “Unlike other serological tests to determine

Fredrik Nilsson successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis on May 10, 2023. For the last four years, Fredrik has explored the use of patient-specific cells in cell replacement therapy for Parkinson's disease to identify strategies to safeguard these transplanted cells from disease-related degeneration. In this interview, he tells us about his findings, their potential implications for future therapies
USV is the umbrella term for the University’s specialised centres which are gradually moving into the faculties. But the process is not painless – the specialised centres are keen to safeguard their identities and their low overhead costs. The faculties and departments, on the other hand, do not want to take on financially insecure ventures. Leif Stenberg is the director of the Centre for Middle E

Increased collaboration within the faculties and a general revitalisation. This is already a clear result from the RQ20 research evaluation that was presented in March. “We have caught sight of each other” was a frequent comment heard in a round of telephone calls to the deans and research managers. Most of the faculties were encouraged to identify their strengths, combine their strengths and mak

What are your thoughts on death? How would you like to spend your last days? These kinds of existential questions are explored at so-called death cafés - gatherings that Jamie Woodworth began organising before she was 25, as a way of dealing with her anxiety about climate change. Now she has been awarded an honourable mention for her doctoral thesis on end-of-life care in the Swedish welfare state

Arbetet med Lunds universitets etablering i Science Village har fortsatt under året, men med en ny inriktning. I slutet av förra året beslutade LTH:s och naturvetenskapliga fakultetens styrelser att inte gå vidare med scenario 5 – en samlokalisering av fysiska institutionen och kemiska institutionen i området – på grund av kostnadsskäl och utmaningen att ha utbildning på två olika platser.
