“Yes, academic life is uncertain and competitive. However, that’s the case even for those who don’t have families. I don’t think it’s any harder to have children if you are a researcher than in any other line of work.” Olga Göransson is also a member in the network WINGS (Women in Great Sciences). So says Olga Göransson, who heads a research group at the Department of Experimental Medical Science.

The more reputable the scientific journal, the more expensive it will be to publish an article with Open Access. Research publishers are riding the gravy train, but for the individual researcher the cost often comes as an unpleasant surprise, after they have spent all of their funding. Librarian Aron Lindhagen helps researchers with any questions they have concerning publishing and Open Access. Th

"We are seeing an increase in the intensity of extreme climate events, as well as growing inequality.  There is an urgency to look at the intersections between climate change and parameters such as class, gender, ethnicity and soco-economic background", says Director Emily Boyd. She is leading the four yearlong project, Recasting the disproportionate impacts of climate change extremes, DICE. It lo

“Better communication between different waste actors is paramount”. LUCSUS researchers present policy brief on how to address challenges linked to urban solid waste management in Kisumu, Kenya. The collection and handling of municipal solid waste pose a significant challenge in urban Kisumu. The demand for more sustainable waste handling and treatment strategies in the city has become more acute b

Ingrid Wernstedt Asterholm received the Leif C. Groop Award for Outstanding Diabetes Research at the annual LUDC Diabetes Research Day. "This award allows me to to rest in the feeling that all the work I have done is good enough, at least for a short while,” said the recipient. Ingrid Wernstedt Asterholm at Sahlgrenska Academy at University of Gothenburg is this year’s recipient of the Leif C. Gro

Scientists have found an alternative way to produce atoms of the superheavy element livermorium. The new method opens up the possibility of creating another element that could be the heaviest in the world so far: number 120. The search for new elements comes from the dream of finding a variant that is sufficiently stable to be long-lived and not prone to immediate decay. There is a theory in nucle

A former student had heard that our senior lecturer in statistics, Pierre Carbonnier was about to retire after this semester. Would we do a feature on him? The student remembered him fondly and added that his mother had also had Pierre as a teacher and thought he was pretty awesome. Few, if any statistics teachers can claim to have reached and inspired more students than Pierre Carbonnier, who has

Never before so much data has been produced within life sciences. At the same time, computing power, artificial intelligence and other technology necessary to handle data have been greatly improved. The theme of this year’s WCMM Research Day held on April 12th in Lund, was artificial intelligence (AI) in medical research. A widely discussed topic that has opened up endless amounts of new opportuni

As you probably know, Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation has granted funding of SEK 20 million to the Program for Academic Leaders in Life Science (PALS). The program is a collaborative effort with the four WCMM Centers, SciLifeLab and the DDLS program and follows the success and track record of the previous WCMM and SciLifeLab collaboration termed NMMP (National Molecular Medicine Fellows Progr

A large number of lungs donated yearly cannot be used for transplantation. Researchers at Skåne University Hospital and Lund University have conducted an animal study with results that give hope that more donor lungs could be used to save lives in the future. The researchers have started a pilot study to investigate if the treatment will have the same positive effects on human beings. About 190 or

In recent years, researchers have discovered around 70 genetic risk variants for diabetes, but still TCF7L2, known as the diabetes gene, is the gene that carries with it the largest risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Using a new method called exon skipping, Ola Hansson at Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC) wants to learn more about TCF7L2 by studying new ways of delaying the onset of type 2 d

“The increased risk of diabetes has previously been explained by the fact that cystic fibrosis causes damage to the pancreas, where the blood-sugar regulating hormone insulin is produced. We are the first research group to show that the mutated gene that causes cystic fibrosis also plays an important role in the release of insulin. The risk of diabetes is not only explained by the destruction of t
