This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Every year, traffic accidents account for more than 1.3 million deaths worldwide. In an effort to reduce this figure, Lund University offers international courses in road safety management for professionals. In August this year, Lund University was privileged to welcome participants from Botswana, Uganda, Zambia, Mala
Vad hände med generationen som upplevde Jasminrevolutionen i Tunisien som unga? Hur skiljer sig deras uppfattningar från de som bara var små barn, och inte kommer ihåg förhoppningarna om ökad frihet och ett bättre liv? Studier i fokusgrupper, där både generation Z och milleniegenerationen Y finns representerade, ger oväntade svar, men visar ändå på en viss optimism om ytterligare demokratisering.

Supported lipid bilayers are formed at a faster rate on light-guiding nanowires of high curvature than on conventional planar substrates, with single-vesicle resolution that proves their potential for studying relevant cellular phenomena. This is shown in a recent study by researchers Julia Valderas, Ruby Davtyan, Christelle Prinz, Emma Sparr, Peter Jönsson, Heiner Linke, and Fredrik Höök. “We des

Diagnosing Alzheimer's disease can be difficult, as several other conditions can cause similar symptoms. Now a new brain imaging method can show the spread of specific tau protein depositions, which are unique to cases with Alzheimer's. ‟The method works very well. I believe it will be applied clinically all over the world in only a few years”, says Oskar Hansson. Hansson is a professor of clinica

The excitement has been palpable in recent weeks following the award of the Nobel Prize in Physics to Anne L’Huillier, a researcher at Lund. This is the first time a researcher at Lund University has received a Nobel Prize, and atomic physicist Anne L’Huillier is only the fifth woman ever to be awarded the prize in Physics. By now it is widely known where atomic physicist Anne L’Huillier was when

Back then, the red brick buildings rose like a lonely wall against the open fields of eastern Lund. Now, the buildings are a hub in the middle of the knowledge highway that links the centre of the city with the research facilities on the outskirts of Brunnshög. We are talking, of course, about the buildings on the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) campus. Architect Klas Anshelm’s red brick buildings ha

By now, Milan Design Week is surely akin to visiting an old friend for the School of Industrial design (provided a school itself could be sentient, of course). For the students packing up their work and taking it abroad, it can be a little different. In this article, Industrial Design student Ann-Cathrin Hoppe shares her experience. As a first-year Master's student, the Milan Design Week 2026 was

Did you know that lung complications are the most common cause of death for preterm infants, and that problems with lungs are one of the most serious complications that can happen when children are sedated for surgery? The aim of this project is to develop a way to measure the lung function in children who are treated in intensive care in the hospitals. We send infrared laser light into the body t

Today, the Faculty of Medicine's new goods reception in Lund was inaugurated. Handling shipments for recipients, suppliers, and Med-service personnel will now be more convenient. The new goods reception's very first customer showed up in the trembling seconds just before the inauguration speech on Monday, to pick up a parcel from the brand new parcel locker. How did it feel? "Well… It's just like

Researchers at Lund University have discovered how a hidden piece of DNA, known as a transposable element, disrupts normal gene function in a disease called X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP). Published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, their findings uncover the epigenetic processes that lead to changes in gene expression linked to XDP, offering new insights into how this rare genetic

Research has shown that only one out of three individuals with osteoarthritis receives appropriate care. Doctoral candidate Simone Battista aims to explore why many osteoarthritis patients are not offered the right treatment. Simultaneously, he seeks to understand how aware individuals with osteoarthritis are of available treatments to alleviate osteoarthritis symptoms. This study is a collaborati
On Tuesday, the new PhD students from partner universities around the country, who have joined the graduate school in 2025, met for the first time. During the introduction day in Lund, they got to meet SWEAH's management and PhD students who have been active in the graduate school since before. Together, the newly admitted PhD students have knowledge and experience from large parts of the world, f

As advancements in genetic technology continue to benefit human health, concerns are mounting over their potential misuse in geopolitical conflicts. While discussions on the risks of genetic technology in international affairs have often focused on dramatic scenarios – such as so-called "genetic bioweapons" – a team of interdisciplinary researchers argues that the reality is far more complex: less

In a recent research paper, Talina Sondershaus and her co-authors investigate how shadow banks, which are bank-like institutions that are only lightly regulated, behave in the context of climate change. They find that when society pays high attention to climate change, shadow banks start buying “brown loans”, i.e. loans from borrowers that have a large carbon footprint, while prices for these loan

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Established ways of measuring carbon emissions can sometimes give misleading feedback on how national policies affect global emissions. In some cases, countries are even rewarded for policies that increase global emissions, and punished for policies that contribute to reducing them. “We have developed a new method tha
