Peder Winstrup was a man with many irons in the fire. Founder of Lund University, bishop, Renaissance man, architect, scientist, author, powerful political player, printer, poet and much more. Even long after his death, he continues to fascinate us as a uniquely well-preserved mummy. Now his life has been turned into an exhibition and a book. Andreas Manhag and Per Karsten watching the mummified b

Instead of leaving a will, she prefers to participate and contribute now. Maibrit Westrin, a 94-year-old former senior lecturer in French and Spanish, supports students and researchers in the Humanities – and finds that she gets a lot out of it. With determined steps, aided by walking sticks and wearing a cap on her head, Maibrit Westrin enters the main University building to be interviewed. In th

Researchers at the Lund Stem Cell Center at Lund University have developed a stem cell-based therapy that rejuvenates the aging blood and immune systems in mice without harsh treatments like chemotherapy or radiation. The findings recently published in the journal Nature Communications is a step toward safer, non-toxic treatments for age-related blood disorders and immune decline. As we age, the s

This autumn, LU Estates and Akademiska Hus will measure how much certain premises rented by the University are actually used. The measurements will be conducted by sensors placed at the entrances and exits to some offices and in lecture halls. The aim is to improve efficiency and reduce the need for premises. Digitalisation and the increase in working from home have led to offices being used less

Lund University is taking an important step to strengthen research on total defence and preparedness through the establishment of LUPREP at Campus Helsingborg. “This is not to be a narrow-minded centre where everyone thinks the same. It will be a place for critical dialogue,” says Johan Bergström, who will take up the position of director on 1 August. The aim of the Lund University Centre for  Pre

It has been a year ago since bacteria from war-wounded at hospitals in Ukraine were analysed. The study, which attracted a lot of attention, showed that some of the bacteria types had total resistance to antibiotics. Now, the same researchers have examined the infectiousness of the bacteria. "The bacterium 'Klebsiella pneumoniae', which is resistant to all antibiotics, is also particularly aggress

As 2025 gets under way, the University, and I dare say the whole higher education sector, has got off to a flying start. The reason for this flying start is, of course, the Research and Innovation Bill that was presented just before Christmas and has since been analysed from all angles. The analysis will continue, as the parts that are still unclear take shape in the Spring Budget or in new direct

Russia has its own right-wing populist movement: the Parental Movement. While the US equivalent is protesting stricter gun control, the Russians are raging against the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. “Western lifestyle is considered a major threat to Russian traditions and normal family life”, says social anthropologist Tova Höjdestrand. She sees patterns that might explain other right-w

Tord Ajanki started diabetesportalen.se just over a decade ago. Now he is to relinquish the editorship and retire. “It feels strange, good in one way, but it’s difficult to stop doing something that you have been involved in for so long”, he says.

How do you get a robot to behave in an ethical and moral way? Christian Balkenius is giving this a lot of thought, as it is the topic of his research project. However, he is also thinking about ethics among robot researchers.  “It’s often said that we have advanced further than we actually have done. The aim of the research is not fulfilled if we are not honest.”  Robots pique the imagination and

Lack of habitats and climate change – parameters that scientists know affect the number of pollinators in the world. But exactly how big is the effect and what else contributes to the decline of bees and bumblebees? This has Maria Blasi i Romero tried to find out in her dissertation which will be presented on November 26. A sure sign of spring is the buttery yellow rapeseed fields that every year

In a major study of hereditary breast cancer, a global network of researchers (including some from Lund University) has identified over 350 faults in DNA that increase an individual’s risk of developing the disease. The researchers believe that these faults can affect as many as 190 genes. Published in Nature Genetics, a scientific journal, the results are said to be the thus far most comprehensiv
