Hard on the heels of a Nobel laureate

Long ago, Carl Borrebaeck worked side by side with one of this year’s Nobel Prize winners for chemistry, Sir Gregory Winter, on the publication of an innovative technology within what was then a hot new research field: antibody engineering. In 1989, within the same couple of weeks, both researchers published findings on the technology which has now resulted in a Nobel Prize for chemistry. Since th

“The internship programme Jobbsprånget was just the kickstart we needed”

Do you have a lot of ideas but nobody and no time to pursue them? Do as Nicole van Der Burg and get an intern through Jobbsprånget ("job leap"). Why did you apply to Jobbsprånget?– As a small lab we have a lot of big ideas with hardly any free time to pursue them, especially with patients sample collection taking up half our week. We knew that if we had a little more time to get some preliminary d

We need a protein shift

The climate cannot handle the amount of animals we eat. There needs to be a protein shift, according to researcher Karolina Östbring who is involved in the Sustainability Week. Her vision is to create a platform for research on vegetable proteins at LU. Karolina Östberg  Photo: Kennet Ruona. The human population is growing, while our ecological footprint needs to become much lower in order to redu

What makes blood stem cells transform? Regulation of RNA splicing may be an answer.

Researchers at Lund Stem Cell Center and Lund University's Faculty of Medicine have determined a novel mechanism linking the metabolism of ribonucleic acids, RNA, to the development of leukemia in myelodysplastic syndrome patients, MDS. In a study published in the Molecular Cell journal, they explain what makes hematopoietic stem cells acquire malignant traits in cancer. RNA splicing is a major ne

Gender researcher: threats and hate are part of everyday life

Recurrent threats via telephone, email and letter – often in conjunction with being published. That is part of everyday research for gender researcher Diana Mulinari and many of her colleagues. “It is almost systematic. Those who hate and make threats are aggressively sexist and racist. Their hate ideology is based on who I am – a woman with a foreign background.”  Diana Mulinari, is a Doctor of S

Goods and equipment affect the environment the most

For the first time, the University has investigated the collective climate footprint of the entire organisation. Emissions of greenhouse gases fell sharply during the pandemic, almost exclusively due to the suspension of travel. However, there is still a long way to go to meet the emission targets for 2023 in the sustainability plan. The recent report shows that, in 2018, the University emitted a
