The sound of tawny owls makes young European robins eat less during their southward migration. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows how the threat from nocturnal predators affects the birds’ behaviour – and by extension their survival. When young robins embark on their first southward migration in the autumn, they make regular stops along the way to rest and replenish their energy rese

Using a new method, diabetes researchers at Lund University, Sweden, have been able to reveal more of the genetic complexity behind type 2 diabetes. The new research findings have been achieved as a result of access to human insulin-producing cells from deceased donors and through not only studying one gene variant, but many genes and how thay influcence the level of the gene in pancreatic islets

According to our Platform for Strategic Work, we are to endeavour to be an international university and strive to recruit the best staff from all over the world. However, recruiting staff from other countries is complicated. There are many rules and laws to consider if everything is to be done correctly, particularly in the area of migration. I am therefore proud that we offer much appreciated sup

Pathologists and coroners are now commonplace in crime novels and TV crime series and are often depicted as slightly odd people. Elisabet Englund has worked at the Division of Pathology in Lund for over 40 years. She has often been told that she is a little ‘too happy’ to be a pathologist. “Yes, there is a stereotype of people who work with dead people, which perhaps contributes to the mystificati

Kan det amerikanska sjukvårdssystemet dra nytta av ett forskningsprojekt i skånska primärvården? Ja, det tycker USA’s nationella forskningsfinansiär NIH. Ett anslag på 33 miljoner kronor går nu till Oskar Hansson vid Lunds universitet och hans senaste projekt inom alzheimerforskning. Vi vill se om diagnostiken av Alzheimers i primärvården kan underlättas genom att använda blodprovet. Oskar Hansson

Det sociala stigmat kring HIV är fortfarande starkt på många håll i världen. Barn som lever med HIV i Etiopien löper stor risk att få bristfällig behandling – eller ingen behandling alls – på grund av de rotade fördomarna. Särskilt illa riskerar det att gå för riktigt små barn som inte snabbt får rätt behandling. Etiopien är ett av de 35 länder som Världshälsoorganisationen WHO har ringat in som ä

The boundaries between biology and technology are becoming blurred. Researchers at Linköping, Lund, and Gothenburg universities in Sweden have successfully grown electrodes in living tissue using the body’s molecules as triggers. The result, published in the journal Science, paves the way for the formation of fully integrated electronic circuits in living organisms. Linking electronics to biologic

Why does Lund University manage farms in Skåne? It’s a matter of tradition. From 1666 and for a long time afterwards the entire University was funded by the farms that dowager queen Hedvig Eleonora donated – known as “akademiska hemman” – the academic homesteads. These are still managed by the University and the current value of the properties is approximately SEK 700 million. The Akademihemman Fo
