Obesity is a common cause of diabetes, heart disease and early death, but risk differs greatly from one person to the next. In work led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden as part of the Innovative Medicine Initiative project SOPHIA, a pioneering clinical risk prediction algorithm has been developed that splits obesity into 5 separate diagnostic profiles each with contrasting health conseq

All over the world, thousands of experts are sitting entering information about their home countries into a huge democracy database. Soon, three quarters of the world’s countries will have been entered. “In my megalomaniac moments, I usually compare the database to the CERN particle accelerator. It will be as important a tool for political scientists as CERN is for physicists”, says Jan Teorell, w

Smith & Meissner are two researchers who have been hand-picked to find molecular clues to healing processes in the heart and blood vessels. A cardiologist and a molecular biologist who complement one another and work together to move research forward, Gustav Smith and Anja Meissner are one of the “tandem pairs” in a major initiative at the Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine (WCMM).

Insekters DNA går att fånga in och upptäcka via luften. Det visar forskning från Lunds universitet. Tekniken, som är ny på insektsområdet, kan få stor betydelse för att kartlägga biologisk mångfald framöver och väntas komplettera den traditionella metoden, att samla in insekter med fällor. Fabian Roger, som tog fram tekniken under sin tid som forskare på Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC

Soon it will be possible to take a ‘ministerial’ degree in Lund. Next autumn, the departments of Philosophy, Political Science and Economics will be starting a Bachelor’s degree in Practical Philosophy, Politics and Economics – PPE. The role model for the programme is a degree given at Oxford University, and it is reputed that several British ministers hold a PPE degree from that institution Polit

An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has managed to study the flight behaviour of the mysterious black swift. They found, among other things, that the black swift rises to extreme heights during a full moon, seemingly catching insects in the moonlight. And, during a lunar eclipse, the birds simultaneously lost altitude. The results are published in Current Biology. The b

In a new study published in Science Advances, researchers Gabriele Cobucci and Armin Tavakoli present a new method to analyze a complex form of quantum entanglement involving multiple particles. The new method opens a door to a deeper understanding of quantum mechanics, a field known for its strange and often counterintuitive phenomena. Quantum entanglement, where particles are coupled together so
