This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Two universities within 20 km of each other will become a reality next year when the higher education institution in Malmö will receive full university status. What this will mean for Lund is unclear. Will the university in Malmö be a complement or a competitor? In Lund, the feeling is cautiously optimistic. Huset Ork

Tolibjon Mustafoev, PhD candidate at Lund University For the last few decades, Uzbekistan has been a popular research destination for many scholars studying authoritarian regimes. Indeed, the first president of Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov, had been in power from the first days of independence in 1991 until September 2016. Karimov was known for his policies on closed economy, high bureaucracy, centra

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 and another. And this can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group in Lund has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a 50-year-old myst

The first submission deadline is on 24 November 2025. Lund University supports the SRA Collegium’s initiative to announce a call for seed funding aimed at supporting emerging and innovative interdisciplinary research topics for the university’s Strategic Research Areas (SRAs). A total of 6 MSEK has been allocated for this call, which also aims to foster novel collaborations among the SRAs.We now i
In a new observational study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden looked at all children listed for heart transplants in the Nordic countries between 1986 and 2023. A total of 597 children were included in the study, 461 of whom received a transplant. The results show that survival rates have increased significantly over time despite the modest volumes in the region – a development that the r
For the 75th time, the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting will be arranged. It takes place in Bayern, Germany, by the beautiful Bodensee. One of the participants this year is NanoLund postdoctoral fellow Mark Rambaran. The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings are internationally renowned conferences, attended annually by Nobel Laureates and some of the most promising young scientists from all over the world.

The Lund Stem Cell Center at Lund University has relaunched its Professional Development Program (PDP), which provides PhD students support beyond research, equipping them with the personal and professional skills essential for long-term career success. While most doctoral programs focus on scientific expertise, the PDP broadens that approach by equipping students with skills for career growth, se
When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, some shopping geographies had difficulties while others proved to be more resilient. Devrim Umut Aslan discusses what we can learn from these resilient places. A global pandemic hit the world, radically changing how shoppers shop and how they move around in cities.

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

Kajsa Brolin forskar om hur våra gener och vår miljö påverkar risken att utveckla Parkinsons sjukdom. Den 27 mars lägger hon fram sin avhandling som till stor del baseras på MultiParks egen biobank som innehåller prover från över 1000 skånska parkinsonpatienter. Här berättar hon om en nyligen upptäckt genetisk riskfaktor som verkar finnas specifikt i Skåne. Och skyddar verkligen kaffe mot Parkinso

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. "Empowerment of vulnerable groups is unlikely to arise through interventions from climate adaptation projects only. Yet, often these projects are seen as drivers for social change", says Stephen Woroniecki, PHD-candidate at LUCSUS. He says that, in a warming and increasingly unequal world, more and more people are on

I en ny nationell registerstudie från Lunds universitet har forskare studerat kopplingen mellan prostatacancer och infertilitet.

Nya resultat från en stor registerstudie visar på ett tydligt samband mellan urinvägsinfektion (UVI) hos personer över 50 och olika slags urinvägs- och gynekologisk cancer. - Resultaten tyder på att urinvägsinfektion i denna åldersgrupp kan vara en indikation för cancer, säger Filip Jansåker, men understryker att de allra flesta som drabbas av infektionen inte har cancer. UVI är en väldigt vanlig
Så många som 38 procent av alla gymnasietjejer hade järnbrist och risken var särskilt hög bland de som följde en vegetarisk eller pescetarisk kost. Det visar en ny studie ledd av forskare vid Lunds universitet. Järn är ett livsviktigt näringsämne, och brist kan leda till trötthet, nedsatt koncentration och i värsta fall blodbrist. Nu visar en studie att fler än var tredje gymnasietjej lider av jär

Genom att studera vilka växtarter som borde finnas i ett lokalt ekosystem men som saknas – så kallad mörk biodiversitet – kan forskare få en tydligare bild av människans påverkan på naturen. En ny global studie visar att mänsklig aktivitet på stor geografisk skala påverkar den lokala artdiversiteten långt mer än man tidigare trott. I regioner med låg mänsklig påverkan innehåller de lokala ekosyste
