It is halftime for Vice-chancellor Erik Renström and his team. Three years of his term of office have passed, and three remain. Here in LUM, he sums up the first-half performance, looks ahead and explains how he approaches a job in which everyone wants a bit of his time. Word is that he is always on time to meetings, but almost never arrives early. Heading up the stairs to his office on the second

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The forest is currently at the centre of an intense debate. It concerns, in simplified terms, which climate benefits the forest can provide, either by sequestering carbon in standing forest, or by being used to substitute fossil fuels and fossil-intensive materials.

Jakten på att kunna kontrollera kvantfysikens märkvärdiga fenomen pågår världen över. Årets Nobelpris i fysik bidrar till att göra ämnet ännu hetare. Även vid Lunds universitet deltar man i att utforska kvanttillståndens okända och ibland hjärnskrynklande perspektiv. Fysikdocent Mathieu Gisselbrecht visar vägen ner i Laserlabbets källarkorridor på Fysicum. I ett par olika rum breder avancerad utru

Researchers at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leu

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A small proportion of women who receive anti-estrogen treatment after breast cancer surgery have worse outcomes. This is associated with mutations in the estrogen receptor gene, according to a study from Lund University now published in JNCI Cancer Spectrum.   “If our results are confirmed in further studies, it would

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. With enthusiasts plus technological developments, a lot of progress can be made in quite a short space of time. This is shown by developments in cancer genetics advice, which is now a natural part of the health service, but which was questioned 20 years ago. The primary enthusiasts were Professor of Oncology Håkan Ols

What surprises a course participant from Africa on a short visit in Lund and to LUSEM? And what made the strongest impressions? Takes to bring back? And what about the group dynamic with new acquaintances from many different parts of the same continent?

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. På universitetet har man forskat på artificiell intelligens i olika former sedan 1980-talet, även om det vid den tiden inte kallades just så, utan exempelvis kognitionsvetenskap, reglerteknik och bildanalys. Idag, när begreppet med skräckblandad förtjusning är på allas läppar, lanserar en grupp forskare det tvärvete

Stamceller som programmeras till att producera insulin vid typ 1-diabetes eller som kan reparera hjärtmuskeln efter en infarkt. Gen- och cellterapier som vässar cancerbehandlingar. Dessa nya och innovativa terapier har potential att bota, lindra och behandla sjukdomar där traditionella läkemedel idag inte räcker.

Vid det här laget är det vida känt hur atomfysikern Anne L’Huillier mottog beskedet om att hon, tillsammans med forskarna Pierre Agostini och Ferenc Krausz, tilldelas årets fysikpris. I en paus under föreläsningen med studenter i teknisk fysik tog hon samtalet. När hon lagt på gick hon tillbaka in i Rydbergsalen på Fysicum och återupptog föreläsningen som om ingenting hade hänt. – Jag sa inget til

För omkring 540 miljoner år sedan uppstod plötsligt ett överflöd av liv i haven – en händelse som har kommit att kallas den kambriska explosionen. Länge var forskarna överens om att denna utveckling drevs av ökade syrenivåer i atmosfären. Men ny forskning av geobiologen Emma Hammarlund vid Lunds universitet vänder nu upp och ner på vad man trott varit sant i decennier. Hur hamnade hon på ett helt
