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.

Innovation och framgångsrika lärosäten går hand i hand. På rak arm är det svårt att komma på något välrenommerat universitet som inte är duktig på innovationsfrågor. Vid Lunds universitet har vi under lång tid arbetat med innovationsfrågor på många olika sätt, inte minst vad gäller forskningsresultat som i sin tur resulterat i företag i form av start-ups. Många av dessa företag har även kunnat ta

Forskaren Emma Hammarlund insåg att geologiska mätmetoder även kan användas i medicinskt syfte. Med ett enkelt prov på hårstrån, hoppas hon kunna hitta cancer i ett tidigt skede. Först ut i studien är prostatacancer och bröstcancer. Nu har hennes projekt valts ut till Kungliga ingenjörsvetenskapsakademins (IVA) 100-lista. På listan finns även åtta andra forskningsprojekt från Lunds universitet, va

Ett internationellt forskarsamarbete lett från Lunds universitet visar hur magnesium tar sig in och ut genom cellmembranet. Magnesium är en livsviktig mineral som påverkar en rad biologiska processer i kroppen. Ämnet har bland annat betydelse för att cellernas energikraftverk, mitokondrierna, ska kunna producera och tillgodogöra sig kroppens energimolekyl, ATP. När mitokondrierna inte fungerar ka

För bonusbarnbarn är det endast engagemanget och omtanken som räknas. För bonusfar- och morföräldrar är det lite mer komplicerat än så. Sociologen Linn Alenius Wallin har forskat om relationer mellan bonusförföräldrar och bonusbarnbarn. – Det som kanske förvånade mig mest var hur ovidkommande det var för barnen om deras far- och morföräldrar hade en biologisk eller bonusanknytning. Enligt barnen v

Innovation and successful higher education institutions go hand in hand. It would be difficult to name a well-renowned university that is not also strong on innovation issues. At Lund University, we have been working on innovation for a long time and in a variety of ways, not least in terms of research results that in turn have resulted in start-up companies. Many of these companies have also bene

Just before the summer, the Vice-Chancellor decided on Lund University's Green Travel Plan. It highlights the issues the University needs to work on in the future to further enhance its work on sustainable commuting to work and studies. The University's work within CoAction to promote a carbon-neutral Lund, as well as the previous project on sustainable mobility at Lund University, have now result

An international research project led from Lund University is now awarded 33 million SEK by the European Innovation Council, EIC Pathfinder. The idea behind the project is to use drugs to reprogram cancer cells into immune cells, in order to increase the body's natural anti-tumor response and fight cancer. And it is small molecules that will do the work. The research project that has received fund

There were no differences in quality of life, symptoms, hospital admissions or mortality between a group of patients with pulmonary disease and low oxygen levels in the blood that received oxygen therapy at home for 24 hours a day, and a group that received the same therapy for 15 hours a day, according to a study from Lund University in Sweden. “This has considerable significance for patients wit

Unchanged since 1996, Sweden's hexavalent chromium exposure limit is higher than in several other countries. A research study from Lund University in Sweden shows that even workers exposed to levels of chromium below the Swedish limit display significant cell changes long before cancer develops. A proposal from the Swedish Work Environment Authority to lower the limit has now been put forward. In

Every year, the Swedish Riksdag organises a research day. This year the theme was “artificial intelligence”. The aim is to give Members of Parliament the opportunity to gain new knowledge and to highlight the value of science for politics, democracy, and parliamentary decision-making.
