Ice sheets, snow and the ocean as far as the eye can see. No shipping vessels or people in sight, and only polar bears for company. The icebreaker Oden sails between Svalbard and Greenland, and this spring, doctoral student Lovisa Nilsson joined the ship to study the transition from winter to summer in the Arctic, and how soot affects the melting of sea ice. For six weeks, the spaces onboard Oden

How much water do we need to drink to stay healthy? How do different diets affect our metabolism? Studies of various hormones in the body are providing diabetes researchers with new answers to these questions. The goal is to develop individualized treatments and dietary recommendations that could lower the risk of developing obesity and diseases such as type 2 diabetes. The endocrine system and th
The use of technologies to support teaching was essential during the pandemic. But what can they do to support education at a campus university in ‘normal’ times? Here are four reasons why the university might want to plan strategically for the use of digital learning to enhance campus experiences.

The history of the University is alive and well among us. After all, it is the same city, the same streets and buildings now as then. The only thing that distinguishes us from our colleagues from the 1600s, from a pu

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A person who carries the mutant gene will at some point in his or her life develop the deadly Huntington's disease. This brain disease can be inherited from generation to generation and begins insidiously, making it increasingly difficult to regulate emotions, thoughts, then movements. There is no treatment that slows

In the early 1950s, no one knew what caused Parkinson's disease. Then, Arvid Carlsson's discovery of dopamine opened the door to world-leading transplantations for Parkinson's patients. Thanks to the pioneering basic research at MultiPark, stemcell-derived neural cells can now be tested in a clinical trial for the first time. In Parkinson's disease, the nerve cells in an area of the brain that con

Cell replacement therapy has long been a hope for patients with Parkinson’s disease and efforts are on their way to use stem cell derived-dopaminergic neurons in clinical trials. On 14 October, Jessica Giacomoni defends her thesis. Her project about the direct conversion of human glial cells into therapeutic neurons directly within the brain has the ultimate goal to become an alternative to cell t

Data literacy is increasing its importance for current and future professionals. But what is ‘data literacy’ exactly and how do LUSEM educators work with it? We asked Blerim Emruli, Senior Lecturer in Informatics, and recently announced as one of the select participants in the Inaugural Professor Ambassador Class at Qlik. Senior Lecturer Blerim Emruli is one of seven educators from around the glob

Mohamed Eldeeb defended his Ph.D. thesis on June 9, 2023. With a passion for scientific discovery with clinical impact, Mohamed has dedicated the last four years to unraveling the mysteries as to why some children develop pediatric leukemia and others don’t. His research shed light on the mechanisms that prevent and suppress leukemia initiation, paving the way for more effective and targeted treat
This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A cancer diagnosis often entails many hospital visits and intensive treatments that can be very tiring for the patient. In the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, however, cancer patients were identified as an at-risk group, so forms of treatment were modified. Now a group of physicians at Lund University want to eva

How do you spark curiosity about science in classrooms and workplaces? One answer is Borrow a Researcher — a national outreach initiative that makes it easy for schools, non-profit organisations, and workplaces to meet active researchers. Twice a year, participants can book a researcher for a visit, either on site or online, to learn about research topics or what it is like to work as a scientist.
