On December 10, After Science Network will be launched – a new initiative for doctoral students and postdocs at Lund University who want to explore opportunities beyond academia or utilise their research through innovation. We speak with Johannes Jonasson, President of the DOKT (The Doctoral Student Guild at LTH), about why the network is needed. Lund university’s innovation office LU Innovation,

Many very positive things are happening within management and leadership development right now. It is around a year since our new policy for academic leadership was approved, and a couple of weeks ago our new head of department programme was launched. I am truly glad that we are now able to offer a leadership programme that is specifically aimed at heads of department. The HR Division is now worki

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Alzheimers sjukdom kännetecknas av onormal spridning och ansamling av proteinet tau i hjärnan. En internationell studie visar nu hur tau sprids enligt fyra distinkta mönster som leder till olika symtom med olika prognoser för de drabbade individerna. Studien publiceras i Nature Medicine. – Till skillnad mot hur vi h

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Första januari 2019 stod i Sverige 666 personer i kö för att få en ny njure, många av dem var diabetiker. En del hinner bli mycket sjuka, några hinner dö, innan det finns en lämplig njure att transplantera. Trots en ökning av antalet donatorer de senaste åren är organbristen konstant och värre än i många andra lände

Högutbildade föräldrar får nästan 30 procent mer personlig assistans till sina barn med funktionsnedsättning, än lågutbildade föräldrar. Skillnaderna kan bero på att lågutbildade föräldrar har svårare att navigera i systemet och driva igenom sina ärenden, vilket kan leda till ökade skillnader i hälsa och livskvalitet. Under det senaste decenniet har förändringar i regelverket inom LSS (lagen om st

När ett barn visar sig ha nedsatt hörsel – tänk då på att orsaken kan vara mitokondriell sjukdom. Det rådet ger Lundaforskare som tillsammans med amerikanska kollegor undersökt ett ovanligt stort antal personer med mitokondriell sjukdom. De har sett att det är avgörande var i DNA mutationen finns för när hörselnedsättningen debuterar. På det amerikanska sjukhuset Children´s hospital of Philadelphi

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that sugar beets produce haemoglobin. They now hope that this haemoglobin could serve as a blood substitute – a substance that is currently in short supply.   Watch on YouTube: How to produce haemoglobin from sugar beets “Previously, it has been presumed that certain plants produce this iron protein only when stressed, such as in drought or

Researchers at Lund University, together with colleagues at the NIST Synchrotron Facility in the USA, have mapped on an atomic level what happens in a virus particle when the temperature is raised. "When the temperature rises, the virus's genetic material changes its form and density, becoming more fluid-like, which leads to its rapid injection into the cell," says Alex Evilevitch who led the stud

An international research team led from Lund University, has identified epigenetic biomarkers that can predict which people with type 2 diabetes are at risk of cardiovascular disease. The study is now published in Cell Reports Medicine.

A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An
