Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. För några månader sedan visade LUDC-forskare att det finns en koppling mellan sömnhormonet melatonin och typ 2 diabetes. Det oväntade fyndet väcker många frågor vilka nu ska tacklas med stöd av ett europeiskt forskningsanslag och en speciell mus. - Vi vet nu att melatoninreceptorn har betydelse för diabetesrisken me

Hållbarhetspriset Agenda 2030 Award tilldelas i år Timothée Parrique, postdoktor på Ekonomihögskolan. Hans forskning om nerväxt har rönt stor uppmärksamhet och han föreläser om varför välbefinnande, och inte BNP, behöver vara framtidens melodi. Kajsa Emilsson och Johan Kjellberg Jensen får hedersomnämnanden. För andra året i rad utdelas Lund University Agenda 2030 Award i syfte att främja innovati

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har undersökt hur artificiell intelligens (AI) kan användas för att analysera kroppens hållning och rörelser under en enbensknäböjning – en övning som ofta används inom idrottsmedicin och rehabilitering. Studien visar att AI kan matcha experternas bedömningar i flera moment. Studien är publicerad i den vetenskapliga tidskriften JOSPT Methods, och visar att AI-baserad

What are your thoughts on death? How would you like to spend your last days? These kinds of existential questions are explored at so-called death cafés - gatherings that Jamie Woodworth began organising before she was 25, as a way of dealing with her anxiety about climate change. Now she has been awarded an honourable mention for her doctoral thesis on end-of-life care in the Swedish welfare state

Many of us have digital maps at our fingertips in our smartphones, but these maps are not adapted to guide us when walking or finding our way in new environments, for example, as tourists in an unfamiliar big city. Creating such maps requires in-depth knowledge about map design which can be further improved by using new technology that can process large amounts of data. “We are collaborating with

Investigation of a metre-long front flipper, uniquely preserved with fossilized soft tissues, has revealed that the giant ichthyosaur Temnodontosaurus was equipped with flow control devices that likely served to suppress self-generated noise when foraging in dimly lit pelagic environments about 183 million years ago. Thus, this visually guided megapredator relied on underwater stealth—or ‘silent s

Researchers at Lund University are developing a new type of gene therapy that reprograms cancer cells within tumors into immune cells that can help the immune system fight cancer. Their approach, now published in the journal Science, could lead to more effective treatments for hard-to-treat cancers. Reprogramming Cancer Cells into Immune Cells Earlier research by the team showed that three special

Han Somsen has newly been appointed professor in environmental law at the Faculty of Law. He is best known for his recommendation that bird-killing cats should be kept indoors. “Humans see themselves as the kings of the hill, which extends to their cats. If you question this, many people get very angry. I got death threats,” says Han Somsen. Han Somsen’s latest position was as professor at Tilburg

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. To distinguish between education and research as early as the allocation stage of basic government funding does not benefit their intertwining. Nor is it helpful that only research counts if you want to have a good career. “Good teaching initiatives are to be rewarded and teaching should be well-regarded” according to

Two issues that have taken up a relatively large part of my time since I became pro vice-chancellor five years ago are the management of research data and IT security. Both were areas in which LU did not really live up to the expectations of a top 100 university. There are, naturally, many points of contact between the areas, and both require a larger element of university-wide solutions than what
