For a long time, the brain was believed to be deprived of the peripheral immune cells due to the blood-brain barrier. In recent decades, studies have revealed that peripheral immune cells can enter the brain under certain circumstances. We investigate how systemic inflammation affects neuroinflammation. Our main focus is to compare the phenotypes of brain-resident microglia to monocytes invading t

Most in vitro research on microglial cells is done using mouse-derived cell lines even though murine microglial cells differ from their human counterparts. To address this limitation, we seek to establish human neuronal and microglial cell lines. The aim is to develop human in vitro model systems and to explore their potential in cell regenerative therapies. Our human neuronal and microglial cell

Key research area Negative emission technologies, or large scale carbon dioxide removal, are by many assessments, policy makers, industries and companies, seen as key to slow or halt climate change. Researchers at LUCSUS studies the narratives, implementation and impacts of these technologies from political, economical and justice perspectives. The research takes a critical perspective, and studie
Key research area The effects of climate change are causing great suffering, losses and damages, especially for the most vulnerable. LUCSUS research aims to identify where loss and damage from climate change is happening, whom it affects, why, and at what scale. In focus are questions relating to just adaptation, intersectionality and responsibility. Our work contribute towards addressing inevitab

Key research area at LUCSUS There is an urgent need for agriculture to drastically reduce its negative environmental impacts, while at the same time responding to increasing demand and adapting to a changing climate. For this to be possible, radical change in how we grow our major staple crops is essential. At LUCSUS researchers are studying both ecological, social and economic aspects of what a

Key research area The current climate and biodiversity crises are deeply intertwined with complex social, cultural and economic processes that also cause injustices around the world. Protecting ecosystems and the diversity of species that live in them cannot be separated from an understanding of the underlying factors driving climate change, biodiversity loss and the social injustices people exper

Key research area at LUCSUS Around the world, glaciers are retreating at unprecedented rates due to climate change. Billions of people are dependent on glaciers for their survival, and glaciers and mountain ecosystems support societies in many ways: providing water for drinking and agriculture, generating hydroelectric energy, driving tourism and other types of livelihoods, and as places of spirit
Key research area at LUCSUS Rural landscapes and communities across the world are impacted by significant changes and shifts related to broader trends, including urbanisation, agricultural intensification and climate change. Such transformations shape, and are shaped by, different actors and processes across scales and often involve contestations related to land use, resource allocation and decisi

key research area at LUCSUS Agriculture provides most of the food we eat and the fibers we wear while at the same time contributing up to 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions and consuming around 70% of global freshwater withdrawals. Navigating this tension between the societal necessity of agriculture and its environmental impacts is therefore at the heart of sustainable development. Within the
