More than one in seven staff members has already started using strong authentication. This is a good start – but what is important now is that more follow their example. Strong authentication is a way to log in that makes it more difficult for an unauthorised person to gain access to an IT service, for example by using both a password and a mobile app (such as Freja+). To protect the University ag

Increased collaboration within the faculties and a general revitalisation.  This is already a clear result from the RQ20 research evaluation that was presented in March. “We have caught sight of each other” was a frequent comment heard in a round of telephone calls to the deans and research managers. Most of the faculties were encouraged to identify their strengths, combine their strengths and mak

Researchers from Lund University, building on previous studies, have been working to understand why stem cells are transforming into cancer. Previously they revealed that small RNA molecules, long considered “junk” or degradation byproducts of RNA-sequencing, are emerging as key regulators of important cellular processes, like protein synthesis. Their latest discovery is published in Nature Cell B

A year has passed since Anne L’Huillier became Lund University’s first Nobel laureate. Since then, she has tried to use the attention to revive interest in research. But she has also had to come to terms with the oddity of becoming a science rock star asked for selfies all over town. What do you remember most about that very special day, the 3rd of October 2023?Well, what I remember most is, of co

Continuity in healthcare can improve health outcomes of patients by ensuring that patient-specific information is not lost in translation between providers, and by improving the appropriate follow-up care. Yet, little is known about how patients cope with the sudden and permanent loss of a main provider in healthcare, such as a primary care practice. The findings in a new PhD thesis from Lund Univ

Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a slowly progressing form of blood cancer that attacks the blood-forming cells in the bone marrow. The condition requires lifelong treatment that can cause severe side effects. Rebecca Warfvinge maps stem cells in patients in the hope of identifying predictive markers for how the patient will react to therapy. She has now received an award of USD 20,000 from the

Thomas Pugh, principal investigator at BECC and researcher at MERGE, is one of the researchers behind a new study that is published in Science. In the study, the researchers compared results from three major modeling approaches that provide information on different aspects of risk on the impact of climate change on forests in the 21st century. Forests harbor enormous biodiversity and are a major c

Wild bees that ingest the neonicotinoid clothianidin when they feed from nectar of rapeseed flowers grown from clothianidin-coated seeds, become lethargic. In addition, strawberries pollinated by these bees become smaller. These are the results of a study conducted by three BECC researchers at Lund University. Wild and managed bees are important providers of pollination services and benefit the pr
