One ERC-funded postdoc position in Molecular Pediatric Oncology lab, led by PI Daniel Bexell. The group is working with neuroblastoma (NB), a severe childhood cancer. The overall aims are to unravel mechanisms leading to metastasis and treatment resistance of NB, and to test compounds targeting aggressive NB. The post-doc will lead and develop his/her own analyses and projects, and also work in cl

Markel has worked in the field of botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) during his PhD in Pål Stenmark's team, using X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM to solve the structure of several proteins related to the botulinum neurotoxins. His main cryo-EM project consisted in structural work on the 300 kDa complex of the novel BoNT serotype X and its partner protein NTNH. He has been trained as an internal user

I work as a researcher at the Faculty of Medicine studying protein-protein complexes arising at the host-pathogen interface, with the aim of understanding how pathogens evade the human immune defence. The main methods we are using are quantitative and structural mass spectrometry (cross-linking and hydrogen-deuterium exchange) in combination with single-particle cryo-EM. Since its start in 2018, I

Derek Logan's research group is based at the Dept. of Biochemistry and Structural Biology at Lund University. His research focuses on the elucidation of structure-function relationships in proteins and their complexes. A particular focus is on allosteric regulation of the essential enzyme ribonucleotide reductase and drug design against the medically important galectin family of proteins. The prin

Prof. Stenmark leads a research team at EMV, Lund university. He focuses on structure-based drug design, both in the development of small molecule drugs targeting cancer and in the engineering of protein drugs (e.g. neurotoxins). The main methods used are X-ray crystallography and single particle cryo-EM.

For the third consecutive year, the Psychological Defence Research Institute (PDRI), in collaboration with the Swedish Psychological Defence Authority, hosted a conference on psychological defence. Reflecting the deteriorating security environment, this year’s conference focused on the intersection between research and policy.Held on 14–15 October in Lund, Sweden, the event brought together 70 res
A study has recently been published on how the Kremlin circumvented EU sanctions on Russian state media in the first weeks of the illegal invasion of Ukraine. In a recently published journal article, James Pamment discusses some of the tactics the Kremlin used to circumvent the EU’s 2022 state media sanctions. The study finds that while the initial “fog of information war” significantly disrupted
