A meeting at the kitchen table, with lots of coffee and snus. And a donation of SEK 250 million.

The kitchen table belonged to the then dean of LTH Thomas Johannesson, who had invited the founder of IKEA to his house to discuss a collaboration between the desig

Every year since 1999, the Master’s students in Industrial Design at Lund University have done what most design students around the world can only dream of – go to NASA in Houston, Texas, USA and study at the Johnson Space Center. There they design products for an extreme environment – namely, space. “The missions to Mars that the students from Lund have been studying will happen somewhere between

Ludwig Schmiderer has studied how to overcome delivery challenges in stem cell biology with nanotechnology. In this interview, he tells us about his research and generative art. What have you been working with during your PhD studies? At the beginning of my PhD, I was trying to reengineer the CRISPR/Cas9 system to make it work in mitochondria instead of nucleus. The project started off quite well

What does your work consist of? As a coordinator, I have an overarching perspective since I work with all the faculty’s programmes. My job is partly to coordinating all written exams in the QPS system, and optimise the processes around this, and partly to provide training and support to the faculty's teachers and administrators.

What if you could take a substance that allows a nasty bacterium to resist the human immune system and develop it into a drug to help people with completely different diseases? It sounds like a fairy tale for medical researchers. Yet this is precisely what is about to happen in Lund. Lars Björck hopes that the enzyme IdeS can be used to treat a number of autoimmune diseases. The nasty bacterium is

Long life is common among bird parents that get help with childcare. This finding comes from researchers at the universities of Lund and Oxford who reviewed data from more than 9,000 studies. Being a parent can be tough. In general, animals that care for many offspring die young, at least in species where parents are not helped by others. However, in some species things are different and parents r

Up to now, researchers have believed that birds stay at home and altruistically help raise younger siblings because this is the only way to pass on genes when you cannot breed yourself. But this idea is only partially true. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that birds benefit from being helpful because it also increases their chances of reproducing in the future. “The results show t

Många mår psykiskt dåligt under pandemin och värst verkar det vara för de som redan är utsatt för socioekonomiska ojämlikheter. Men vem drabbas egentligen hårdast när restriktioner, ensamhet, nedstämdhet blivit vardag? Det har forskare från Lunds universitet försökt att ta reda på i en tvärsnittsstudie där unga vuxna pekas ut som en särskilt sårbar grupp. Efter över ett år med coronapandemin har v

When Anders Ackfeldt and 22 other researchers criticised the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency’s (MSB) research report “The Muslim Brotherhood in Sweden” for adding fuel to an overly conspiracy theory-tinged image of Islam, it provoked a deluge of threatening emails the following day. “My children were mentioned in the email and that got me worried.

Much of the world's infrastructure is made of concrete, which presents a challenge when it cracks and needs repair. Traditional repair methods involve cutting away a large amount of material. Now researchers at Lund University are investigating an innovative solution: using fungi to mend concrete.

Back then, the red brick buildings rose like a lonely wall against the open fields of eastern Lund. Now, the buildings are a hub in the middle of the knowledge highway that links the centre of the city with the research facilities on the outskirts of Brunnshög. We are talking, of course, about the buildings on the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) campus. Architect Klas Anshelm’s red brick buildings ha
