Charlotte Ling’s group Our researchThe goal of our research is to dissect the role of epigenetics in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and develop epigenetic-based therapies and biomarkers for precision medicine.Type 2 diabetes is a multifactorial disease, and combinations of genetic and non-genetic factors such as age, obesity, and physical inactivity increase disease risk.

Department of Clinical Sciences Malmö Head: Jan Nilsson, PI BackgroundCardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of mortality among subjects with diabetes. The risk of myocardial infarction (MI) is increased 2-3 fold in subjects who have had diabetes for >10 years, with some studies reporting risks equivalent to that of a non-diabetic person with previous MI. Diabetes is also associated with an

Focal accumulation of immune cells and lipids in the vascular wall leads to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. Plaques occasionally erode or rupture, causing the blood to clot and restrict blood flow, with serious clinical consequences such as acute myocardial infarctions and strokes. Even though our understanding of the disease mechanisms underlying atherosclerosis has advanced substantial

Monthly seminars for researchers across the university, as well as our collaboration partners in industry and other institutes, to come together. Each month, LUBIRC holds a breakfast seminar on a different topic of interest to our collaboration network. This includes new science and research in our areas of interest, but also talks by industry representatives, or on wider aspects of sustainability

Lund University Biobased Industry Center brings together researchers leading the way in developing the knowledge and design needed for biobased alternatives to traditional industrial products and processes. LUBIRC was founded at the beginning of 2014 by scientists at Lund University with the support of the University Board and Region Skåne. Since 2017, LUBIRC has been the university's Thematic Col

Lund University has a large team of researchers focusing on increasing our knowledge of how to create environmentally friendly chemicals, plastics, specific materials, fuel and energy sources from raw biological materials (biomass). Our hope is that our knowledge, which is based on several decades of both fundamental, and more applied research in collaboration with industry, will contribute to a s

Biofuels are one of the many different types of products that can be made in biorefineries. There is a great need for society to decrease our reliance on fossil fuels (from, for example, coal or natural gas) in order to reduce the quantity of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere, and the use of biofuels is one opportunity to do so. Producing biofuels can be the main process of a biorefinery,

A refinery is a factory where raw materials are transformed into useable products such as chemicals. Biorefineries perform the same role, but with biological raw material (biomass) such as plants or microorganisms instead of traditional chemicals. Biomass is a renewable source of raw material, as we can always grow more, unlike commonly used fossil fuels. In order to use biomass, the chemical reac

The expression “industrial biotechnology” is used to describe the complete industrial process that uses biobased raw materials to produce chemicals, fuels, and products with help of primarily biotechnological methods. It is often called “white biotechnology” to distinguish it from those companies in biotechnology attempting to make pharmaceutical products from biobased sources, which is referred t
