How to turn research ideas into a real-world impact
Professors Carl Borrebaeck, Thoas Fioretos, Lao Saal and Åke Borg share their experiences in transforming groundbreaking research into diagnostic tools, treatments, and biotech companies. From navigating commercialization strategies and securing long-term funding to building strong teams and mentoring future innovators, they reflect on what it truly takes to make science matter—outside the lab.

The Israel-Palestine conflict: external pressure is needed to bring the parties to the negotiating table
Strong external pressure is needed to stop the violence between Israel and Hamas, which has harvested immense humanitarian suffering on both sides. And it must happen quickly, according to Peace and conflict researcher Lisa Strömbom. The UN warns of full-scale war if the ongoing violence between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate. Hundreds, many of them children, have been killed in the attac

The protein that protects insulin-producing cells
Much research on diabetes focuses on understanding what happens when the insulin-producing cells are destroyed. Researchers at Lund University have instead chosen to investigate what protects the insulin-producing cells. Their research shows that a protein of the immune system protects the insulin-producing cells from inflammation and death. The study, published in PNAS, is an example of basic res

New treatment of atherosclerosis may reduce the risk of dying from a heart attack
A treatment that has reduced plaque development in mice has now been tested in people with psoriasis. Jan Nilsson at Lund University is one of the researchers behind the clinical study that showed a reduced inflammation of the coronary arteries, which in turn may reduce the risk of dying from a heart attack. People with diabetes may also benefit from the treatment in the future. Cardiovascular res

Research paves the way for sustainable dietary recommendations
The EAT-Lancet diet is a framework designed to promote environmental sustainability while also preventing common diseases such as type 2 diabetes. How do we know if the diet actually works? An international research team studied seven dietary scores and found that two of them were particularly good at evaluating adherence to the diet. Reliable diet scores are important when developing sustainable

Ph.D. defence interview - Laura Andreoli
Ph.D. student Laura Andreoli spent several years digging into the neural pathways involved in involuntary movements in Parkinson’s disease. On the 14th of December, she defends her thesis. And she is eager to share her findings and thoughts about her time in the Basal Ganglia Pathophysiology Lab headed by MultiPark’s coordinator Angela Cenci Nilsson. Tell us about your research! Most patients suff

Protein oxidation: an added layer of regulation during blood stem cell development
A study conducted by researchers at Lund University has found that protein oxidation forms an additional layer of regulation during the development of fetal blood stem cells and may play a role in the development of leukemia. The results are now available in the journal, Redox Biology. The human body is made up of trillions of cells and within each are proteins - large, complex molecules that play

Alicia N'Guetta uses gender as a lens to study impacts of climate change on marine coastal ecosystems and livelihoods
Alicia N'Guetta is a PhD student working across two LUCSUS projects, MaCoBios and DICE. Her research focuses on climate change adaptation, livelihood, loss and damage, and gender in Martinique, an overseas department of France situated in the Caribbean Sea. Using a gender lens, she will explore how climate change impact on marine coastal ecosystems services affect livelihoods and how adaptation st
Salma Mahamed: “I Found it Very Meaningful to Discuss with Practitioners From the Field ”
In May, Salma Mahamed, Gustavo Cadenas Delascio, Marta Pitino and Ismail Bazine participated in our third doctoral course, coordinated by the University of Gothenburg: ‘Making Foreign Aid Work: Managing tensions between top-down and bottom-up approaches’. The participants took part in online literature seminars, but also our onsite workshop in Gothenburg. The course brought together both doctoral
A calmer phase after turbulence for centres moving to faculties
The relocation of the specialised centres to the faculties which is currently underway within LU has generated concern and discussion. “But once you know where you are moving, a calmer and more constructive phase begins”, says Bo Ahrén, chair of the University’s specialised centres. But Merle Jacob, professor of research policy, finds the path to the right faculty to be rather long and uncertain a

Lack of surgeons is a threat to global health
Fifty per cent of all pregnant women in need of a C-section are unable to get one. Most people around the world still do not have access to safe surgery, resulting in millions of deaths and disabilities each year. As a paediatric surgeon, Lars Hagander wanted to find ways to help, and has travelled the world to perform surgery. But, of course, this is not enough. A major change is needed. Seibatu
