Arbetet med att förtäta och utveckla fakultetens lokaler pågår på flera håll, där mycket redan har genomförts. Målet är att använda befintliga ytor bättre och frigöra ytor till forskning och utbildning. Bakom en stor del av arbetet står Hanieh Heidarabadi, processledare vid naturvetenskapliga fakulteten. Arbetet med fakultetens lokaler har vuxit fram över tid, ofta som en konsekvens av andra beslu
Kvant. Ordet dyker upp allt oftare i samtal om framtidens teknologi, säkerhet, medicin och datorer. Samtidigt uppfattas området ofta som både abstrakt och svårtillgängligt. Men vad är egentligen kvantfysik och varför är intresset så stort just nu? – Kvantfysik utvecklades för att beskriva universums allra minsta beståndsdelar. När forskare började studera atomer, elektroner och ljus upptäckte man

Huntingtons sjukdom är ärftlig, genetisk och debuterar vanligtvis i åldersspannet 30 till 50 år. I Sverige har omkring 1000 personer diagnosen och flera tusen lever med risk att insjukna. Ännu fler har en koppling till sjukdomen då symptomen också i hög grad påverkar de anhöriga. Sjukdomen leder till för tidig död och det finns ingen bromsande behandling. Med ökad kännedom om sjukdomens uttryck ka

Söktrycket i universitetets internationella rekrytering blev rekordstort. De 25 utlysta tjänsterna har utökats till 45 – forskare från några av världens främsta universitet som nu är på väg till Lund. Forskarna som rekryterats kommer bland annat från lärosäten som Harvard University, University of Oxford, Humboldtuniversitetet, ETH Zürich och University of Cambridge. Det höga söktrycket och den hö
Att äta ost och grädde med hög fetthalt kan ha ett samband med en lägre risk för att utveckla demens. Det visar en ny stor studie vid Lunds universitet. Forskarna analyserade kostvanor hos drygt 27 000 personer och kopplade dessa till förekomsten av demens under en uppföljningstid på upp till 25 år. Debatten om fettsnåla dieter har länge format våra hälsoråd och påverkat hur vi ser på mat och häls

Each year approximately four thousand people in Sweden are diagnosed with lung cancer and nearly as many die each year from the disease. It is the fifth most common form of cancer in Sweden and the one which claims the most victims. At Lund University researchers are working on finding new methods to diagnose and treat the disease. Despite the fact that lung cancer is such a large-scale problem th

The new UN climate report shows that the zero emissions goal for 2050 is achievable. However, it will require major changes in all sectors – not least in industry, which currently accounts for a large proportion of global emissions. The researchers identified several sustainable paths forward, but some sectors – above all in plastics and chemicals – are still searching for potential transition rou

Despite harsher sentences and increased resources for the criminal justice system, research shows nothing to indicate that this leads to reduced criminality. “We wanted to problematise the notion that punishment is the best option,” says Tova Bennet, researcher in Criminal Law at Lund University. Over the past 15 years, tougher sentencing has been a popular tool in Swedish law and order politics.

Some time ago, I was asked, “What does Lund University want in terms of AI and research?” At first, I was a little surprised and thought, is the University to have an explicit position on this? But then I started thinking about the University’s other clearly-stated ambitions.
