Central Asian Law project delivered another workshop on the “Shadow economy, business environment and legal cultures in Central Asia”. The workshop took place at Lund University in Sweden on July 5-8, 2022. The workshop, that was held over 4 days, turned into a platform for the project participants to work on their research, exchange ideas and discuss the latest news and developments in Central As
Professor Åsa Westrin manages a big national medical screening database to conduct research on Death by Suicide in the Swedish population. The database helps her extract research data on the contacts and relationships between healthcare and patients who have died by suicide to map healthcare utilization and improve future preventative treatments for suicidal patients. Åsa is a professor of psychia

In the last few days there has been an intense debate in the media about the Art Academy, which has been described as threatened with shut-down due to an eviction notice from the city of Malmö on its current premises. Lund University has been warned that the city needs the building as soon as possible, preferably with

Bioelectronics research and development of implants made of electrically conductive materials for disease treatment is advancing rapidly. However, bioelectronic treatment is not without complications. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have taken another step forward by developing a refined method to create detailed and tissue-friendly bioelectronics. In a study published in Advanced Science

For risk groups, a common cold can be life-threatening. Researchers in Lund have contributed to the development of a new biological medicinal product to treat severe asthma that is worsened by colds. The hope is that the drug will be approved in Sweden next year. Young children, the elderly and patients suffering from chronic lung disease such as asthma and COPD run an increased risk of being affl

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The fact that diabetes rases the risk of certain types of cancer is already well known, but the reasons have been unclear. Now researchers at Lund University in Sweden have mapped a molecular link that explains the connection between the two widespread diseases. Developing type 2 diabetes is a lengthy process. An earl

A Swedish multi-centre study led by researchers at Lund University shows a link between low fibre consumption and the presence of unstable or high-risk plaque in coronary arteries – the type of plaque that can trigger blood clots and cause heart attacks. The study also links dietary pattern to the composition of the plaques, i.e. how potentially dangerous they are. Using advanced cardiac imaging,
Sustainability is a priority – not only for the Faculty of Science but for the entire university. Working sustainably is not only about reducing climate and environmental impact – it also contributes to a more stimulating, safe, and inclusive workplace. Lund University's new resource ‘Sustainable at work’ brings together concrete tips and tools for those who want to make more sustainable choices i

We spoke with Alex Vermeulen, Director of the ICOS ERIC Carbon Portal, about the latest World Meteorological Organization report, the Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, for which Alex serves as editor. Published in October – in time to provide the latest data to the COP30 meeting – the report describes the largest year-on-year rise in CO₂ levels since records began in the 1950s. Alex shares his thoughts on
Earlier this year, Stem Cell Center, in partnership with MultiPark, brought together three core facilities into one - The Cell and Gene Therapy Core Facility - aiming to support advanced science at the highest international level. This new infrastructure includes the previous AAV vector lab, and much more! Equipped with the latest technologies and specialist expertise, this core provides a plethor
