By describing his research as a battle between good and evil and likening himself to a hacker who attacks cancer cells to make them kind, PhD student Luís Oliveira took home the win in this year's Research Grand Prix. It is a competition in presentation technique for researchers, and it was held in front of an audience of almost 400 students at Helsingborg's Stadsteater on 1 October. His presentat
In recent years, great advances have been made in the development of new successful immunotherapies to treat cancer. CAR T-cell therapy and antibody treatments are two types of targeted immunotherapies that have revolutionised areas of cancer care. However, there are still significant challenges in the identification of cancer cell surface proteins as targets for immunotherapies. A research group

New advanced therapies can alleviate or cure chronic diseases. But medical progress raises the question of how rights should be protected and balanced, according to Jessica Almqvist, professor in international law and human rights, who conducts research on gene therapies. With advanced therapies, doctors can treat or prevent serious diseases. Gene therapies are tailor-made and individualised. The

How does migration and globalisation shape the lives of individuals in various countries and how does it affect the children of immigrants in terms of integration, identity, and cultural expressions? Do they themselves use the word integration?

A major international study shows that if cardiac arrest patients are treated like heart attack patients only, this will potentially have negative consequences on their rehabilitation and return to working life. These patients often lack follow-up of the injuries they may have suffered to the brain in connection with their cardiac arrest, the researchers found. It can happen anywhere, at any time

All over the world, thousands of experts are sitting entering information about their home countries into a huge democracy database. Soon, three quarters of the world’s countries will have been entered. “In my megalomaniac moments, I usually compare the database to the CERN particle accelerator. It will be as important a tool for political scientists as CERN is for physicists”, says Jan Teorell, w
