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

Poverty reduction globally is one of the UN’s primary goals. But how can wealth and economic development be measured in a smart way? Artificial intelligence, AI, and satellite photos are able to give more effective and precise measurements, but will remote sensing technology ever be able to replace time-consuming interview surveys? In rich countries, GDP is the most common measure of a country’s w

Researchers at Lund University have validated a blood-based method for measuring circulating tumor DNA in patients with early breast cancer. The method was able to identify breast cancer patients at high risk of recurrence and detect molecular signs of relapse before the disease became clinically visible using today’s standard methods.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new study by researchers at Lund University, Sweden shows that women can have a considerably higher risk than men of developing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Using a new diagnostic method, researchers have now shown that the risk of developing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease can be twice as hig

Five years after the opening of the prestigious Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine, nothing has turned out as planned. The “tandem pairs” that were supposed to develop research together are now cheating on each other with other researchers. Private and work life have become intertwined and families often barbecue together. It’s a cold Sunday afternoon and the ground is covered in a thin laye

Mellan 2003 och 2019 har nästan en fjärdedel av Sveriges sista gamla oskyddade naturliga skogar försvunnit. Med nuvarande skövlingstakt kommer dessa ekologiskt värdefulla skogar att vara borta om 50 år. Det visar en studie av bland andra forskare från Lunds och Umeå universitet. En mindre del av Sveriges oskyddade produktiva skogar består av gammal skog som sannolikt aldrig tidigare kalhuggits. De

The new excavations in Uppåkra are at the forefront of cutting edge archaeological techniques. By combining big data, data modelling and DNA sequencing, researchers are currently solving significant parts of a historical puzzle. Perhaps we will learn whether the Justinianic Plague, the forerunner of the Black Death, reached Uppåkra. Until now, this has been uncertain. Torbjörn Ahlström, profes

In a new research article, PhD student Kelly Dorkenoo, together with researcher Murray Scown, and Director Emily Boyd, examines disproportionality in loss and damage from climate change. She argues that disproportionality in loss and damage from climate change is fundamentally about equity and justice, but while it is central in L&D policy, it has been treated implicitly in research. What are the
