A new eye on the universe opens in Chile
A new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile has recently captured its first starlight. This marks the beginning of a new era in astronomy, as researchers prepare to map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument does not take ordinary images of the night sky. Instead, 4MOST – the Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope – collects spectra, that

The most effective ways of reducing car traffic
Researchers have identified the top 12 ways European cities have been able to curb car use. The most effective measure was applying a congestion charge, with the notable case of London, where city traffic dropped by 33% following the change. Most success stories involved both “carrots” to encourage sustainable mobility and “sticks” to restrict cars, according to the study. – Transport is a major s

WCMM Fellow Vinay Swaminathan SEK 5 million from the IngaBritt and Arne Lundberg Research Foundation
This year’s largest grant from the IngaBritt and Arne Lundberg Research Foundation goes to WCMM Fellow Vinay Swaminathan at Lund University, who has been awarded SEK 5 million for a project that aims to uncover how healthy breast tissue develops into tumours and spreads. Swaminathan’s research group studies the early stages of cancer development using advanced 3D tissue models that mimic the tumou
Czech-Danish duo receives major award
This year’s Nordic Prize from the Fernström Foundation – one of the largest medical prizes in Scandinavia– is awarded to two cancer researchers, Jiri Bartek and Jiri Lukas, for their research on cellular responses to DNA damage. Genetically damaged cells that cannot repair their genomes without mistakes pose a major risk of cancer and other diseases. Every year, the Eric K. Fernström Foundation pr

The faculty invests in computational science – new doctoral programme meets growing demand for advanced analysis
In 2025, the Faculty of Science launched a new doctoral programme in computational science to meet the growing demand for advanced computational methods in research. This initiative aims to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and train doctoral students in handling and analysing large datasets across fields such as medicine, environmental science, and engineering. The doctoral programme was cr
Exploring Genomic Dark Matter: Christopher Douse Awarded $1.2M Grant by Chan Zuckerberg Initiative
Christopher Douse, a new group leader at the Faculty of Medicine at Lund University, has been awarded the Ben Barres Early Career Acceleration Award by The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. This award includes a $1.2 million grant to support his lab’s exploration of the repetitive portion of the human genome, so-called ‘genomic dark matter’, and its role in human brain development and degeneration. Repe

Entire genome of common forest pest now revealed
Researchers have successfully mapped the entire genome of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle. The breakthrough paves the way for new research into bark beetles and better prospects for effective pest control of a species that can destroy more than 100 million cubic metres of spruce forest during a single year in Europe and Asia. Mapping the genome of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle enables a far deep

New article in The Conversation: How dramatic daily swings in oxygen shaped early animal life
In a newly published study in Nature Communications, Emma Hammarlund and her research team at Lund University detail how daily fluctuations in oxygen levels influenced the rise of animal life. Their findings offer new insights as to how dramatic daily shifts in oxygen availability and stress may have played a central role in the evolution of complex organisms on Earth. “Now, when we explore animal
