En utbildningsadministratör är lite som en bläckfisk. Vi har en arm i aktuell dag, en arm i morgondagen, en annan arm längre fram i veckan, en arm några veckor framåt, en arm i slutet på terminen och ett par armar i nästkommande termin. Så förklarar Kathryn Wellbaum, utbildningsadministratör på fakulteten, sitt jobb. Vad gör en utbildningsadministratör? – Utbildningsadministratörens roll är att se

Seminariet Human Diversity hålls på engelska den 7 november i Forum Medicum. Mycket hörvärt, enligt Intramed, som fick ett smakprov vid Forskningens dag. Professor Stefánsson kommer att dela med sig av sina insikter från sin mångåriga, världsledande genetiska forskning på Island.– Genetik är det enda sättet att systematiskt studera den mänskliga naturen. Så vi kom fram till att sättet att studera

A new study from Lund University in Sweden has shown no correlation between obesity and how close you live to fast food restaurants or gyms. Studies from other countries have previously indicated that these factors may be important in adult obesity. The areas where we live are known to be important for our health. For example, obesity is more prevalent in deprived neighbourhoods. Deprived neighbou

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Six-month old infants recognize when adults imitate them, and perceive imitators as more friendly, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. The babies looked and smiled longer at an adult who imitated them, as opposed to when the adult responded in other ways. Babies also approached them more, and enga

Stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new research model of the early embryonic brain. The aim of the model is to study the very earliest stages of brain to understand how different regions in the brain are formed during embryonic development. With this new insight, researchers hope to be able to produce different types of neural cells for the treatment of neurologica

Toxic versions of the protein tau are believed to cause death of neurons of the brain in Alzheimer’s disease. A new study published in Nature Communications shows that the spread of toxic tau in the human brain in elderly individuals may occur via connected neurons. The researchers could see that beta-amyloid facilitates the spread of toxic tau. The present study is a collaboration between Lund Un

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most common forms of blood cancer among adults and is associated with a low survival rate, and leads to the inhibition of normal blood formation. Now, a research team at Lund University in Sweden has identified one of the genes that is the basis for leukemia stem cells’ survival and multiplication. The study is published in Cell Reports. AML is the result

Lund University Diabetes Centre will be part of a new project aiming to contribute to a more patient-centric and equitable narrative around obesity. It will look at multiple impacts on individuals from both a social and medical perspective. The project will provide evidence-based classification of predictors for obesity complications and response to obesity treatment. Obesity is a chronic disease,

There are plenty of protein drinks on the shelves of supermarkets these days. However, a vegan, fermented version made from locally grown field peas is definitely unique. That’s exactly what a group of food technology students came up with for an assignment. “One aim with this drink was to increase the absorption of iron in vegans who can have a tendency towards iron deficiency.
