Growing up in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, he knew that one wrong word could get you killed; as a forced recruit, he came close to death many times. But after three Master’s degrees, Dara Maghdid has earned a PhD with his investigation of cultural differences in the teaching of mathematics. Now he wants to thank Lund University. In the future, motivation among students of mathematics could increase – in

Food researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that consuming small amounts of chromium mixed with certain amino acids before eating is healthy. Why? Well, this mixture diluted in water suppresses the blood sugar spike that occurs when we eat. Now, they are hoping that the drink – which tastes like ordinary mineral water – will be able to compete with soft drinks and flavoured water

Researchers at Lund University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States have developed a method to analyse and separate cells from the blood. Ultimately, the method, which goes under the name iso-acoustic focusing, can become significant to measure the efficiency of cancer treatments for individuals. In brief, the new method involves exposing cells to ultrasound when they

A study published in The Lancet HIV shows that HIV-2 is more pathogenic than previously demonstrated. The new findings indicate that early treatment should be applied to all patients with HIV, not only to those with HIV-1. “The study is unique in that we have followed cohort of study participants frequently over a long period, which enabled us to determine when the patients became infected by HIV,

Min avhandling syftar till att förstå vad TCF7L2-genen gör och varför den ökar risken för att utveckla typ 2 diabetes. Här skriver Yuedan Zhou om sin forskning. Diabetes är en sjukdom där kroppen har högre blodsockernivåer än normalt. Detta kallas för hyperglykemi. Blodsockret kommer från det vi äter och insulin är det hormon som är nödvändigt för att transportera socker från blodet till andra cel

Researchers at Lund University are developing a new type of gene therapy that reprograms cancer cells within tumors into immune cells that can help the immune system fight cancer. Their approach, now published in the journal Science, could lead to more effective treatments for hard-to-treat cancers. Cancer is known for its ability to hide from the immune system, making it tough to fight. But what

The world's largest bird, the ostrich, has problems reproducing when the temperature deviates by 5 degrees or more from the ideal temperature of 20 °C. The research, from Lund University, is published in Nature Communications. The results show that the females lay up to 40 percent fewer eggs if the temperature has fluctuated in the days before laying eggs. Both male and female production of gamete

Using data from over a billion stars, a research team at Lund University in Sweden are developing an interactive 3D model of the Milky Way galaxy. This could enable new types of discoveries that aren’t possible with current tools - perhaps even unraveling how the Milky Way was formed. The data being used is from the Gaia satellite that was launched in 2013. It orbits the Earth and collects data fr

Researchers have investigated the possibilities of independent, global monitoring of fossil fuel carbon dioxide emissions globally based on satellite observations. This would improve the quality of the monitoring compared to today, which is built on individual reporting by countries. Three researchers from our department contributed to this study.

On October 9, Debatt i Lund/Debate in Lund focused on the recent Qur'an burnings in Sweden and freedom of expression. The discussion is now available to watch on YouTube. CMES Director Karin Aggestam discussed how the Qur’an burnings in Sweden travel transnationally and go viral, and get hijacked by political leaders in the MENA region for their agendas. The digital space is thus a powerful tool.
