Two world-leading American researchers known respectively for their research within medical humanities, and the sensory nervous system and perception of pain and temperature have been named honorary doctors at the Faculty of Medicine. The honorary doctorates will be conferred on 26 May 2023. Ever since David Julius’ discovery of the temperature and pain receptor TRPV1, he has contributed crucial d

The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation is investing over SEK 3 billion in research that creates the conditions for a sustainable society. This will be done by developing new and improved materials and manufacturing processes, which, among other things, aim at better technology for the energy systems of the future and the control of pollution and toxic emissions. In addition, an increased investm

Two researchers at Lund University in Sweden have been awarded almost EUR 5 million in total from the European Research Council. One of the research projects focuses on the early growth of diatoms in the ocean 250 million years ago, and the subsequent global effects of the algae growth. The other grant will go towards

Lund University has secured a spot on the Financial Times Master’s in Management 2020 ranking, with the fairly new Master’s in International Strategic Management programme placing 73rd. The Master’s in International Strategic Management was launched in 2016, and is based on a long tradition of education and research in strategic management. This is Lund University's second programme ranked by Fina

A sudden bang. The hand grenade has caused me severe shrapnel injuries: a punctured lung, my liver is bleeding and the wound on my leg is causing rapid blood loss. The medics decide that this requires an intervention from the trauma squad. I am loaded onto a stretcher and driven to the surgery tent. It is Monday morning, and the Aurora 23 military exercise is in full swing in southern Sweden. I am

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Bladder cancer is as common as malignant melanoma. However, in the past three decades, the death rate has remained high and the treatment has been the same since the 1970s. Yet only a very small part of research funding goes to bladder cancer. Through a unique collaboration, researchers now want to transfer new resear

By presenting cancer research as a battle between good and evil – and himself as a hacker attacking cells to make them kind, PhD student Luís Oliveira took home the win in the Researchers' Grand Prix. His win is the fifth in a row for Lund University and the second in a row for Lund Stem Cell Center - in the competition where researchers from all over the country challenge each other in presentati

Around 100 select astronomy books dating from 1545 to 1799 have been relocated from the Astronomy Library to the University Library. LUM was there as the books were packed away, and again, several months later, after they had been quarantined and it was time to catalogue, encapsulate and put them in storage. Next year, the rarest volumes will be digitalised and perhaps even be displayed. Outside A

Renewable and affordable energy is key for societal and economic growth, and for achieving national and global climate goals. Research from LUCSUS is mapping the energy transition in Nepal and has identified how increasing energy access is closely linked to a new political awakening in the country.  "Nepal is a very interesting case study since it has been held up as a case for how a country can t

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

It is halftime for Vice-chancellor Erik Renström and his team. Three years of his term of office have passed, and three remain. Here in LUM, he sums up the first-half performance, looks ahead and explains how he approaches a job in which everyone wants a bit of his time. Word is that he is always on time to meetings, but almost never arrives early. Heading up the stairs to his office on the second

For the last three years, middle-school classrooms in Lund and Staffanstorp have been getting a special visit during the autumn: scientists walk in with stories about their favorite research topic and what it is like to work in a lab.
