How does digital technology affect our work situation? Could data collected to measure our performance lead to old-fashioned micromanagement? Should higher education take after healthcare with regard to the boundary between work and spare time? These are some of the questions discussed by researchers involved in the research theme Digiworks at the Pufendorf Institute. Researcher in business admini

Kajsa Brolin explores how our genes and environment affect the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. March 27, she defends her Ph.D. project partly based on MultiPark’s biobank sample collection. Here, she tells about the newly discovered genetic risk factor that might be specific to people in the southern part of Sweden. And is coffee really protective?

Swedish manhood enters into crisis at irregular intervals; the male role may now be about to change once again in the aftermath of the #metoo protest. Gender historian Emma Severinsson hopes that the boys of today will learn to show feelings – and gender scholar Jens Rydström adds that men need to get better at talking about problems. Despite Sweden’s ground-breaking role on paternal leave and gen

Local currencies may arise when there is a clear need for certain products and services in a local area and where the competences to produce them exist but the lack of traditional money puts obstacles in the way. The lack of money might be the result of pandemics, war, natural disasters, financial crises or poverty. Ester Barinaga, professor of entrepreneurship at the School of Economics and Manag

When LINXS moved from its old premises at Ideon to The Loop in Science Village in March, the institute became the first research environment from Lund University to make the move to Brunnshög. Since then, activities have more than doubled, new collaborations have emerged, and the team’s mood is distinctly optimistic.I met with Anna Ntinidou, Head of Administration, Noomi Egan, Communications Offic

Researchers at Lund University have discovered how a hidden piece of DNA, known as a transposable element, disrupts normal gene function in a disease called X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP). Published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, their findings uncover the epigenetic processes that lead to changes in gene expression linked to XDP, offering new insights into how this rare genetic

The international application period is over and we can conclude that once again, LUSEM has some of the most popular master's programmes both within Lund University and nationally. What do the programme managers themselves think about the two most popular programmes, and what do the present and former students say? For many years, our Master's programme in International Marketing & Brand Managemen

Last year's Nobel celebration was a digital version, but this year David Julius, who won the Nobel prize in Medicine or Physiology in 2021, will travel to Stockholm for the festivities. In this interview he talks about what such a prize leads to, about the joy of curiosity-driven research that, although lacking guardrails, is full of creativity and opportunities – and about the similarity between

Blood clots can form in both arteries and veins. However, the reasons behind them differ, as do the consequences and the chances of preventing blood clots. In Sweden, almost half of all cases of venous thrombosis have a genetic explanation. A team of researchers from Lund University in Sweden has now discovered three gene variants that increase the risk of blood clots in the leg by up to 180 perce

Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person and another. And this can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group in Lund has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a 50-year-old myst

In a new national register study from Lund University in Sweden, researchers have studied the link between prostate cancer and infertility. The study, published in the British Medical Journal, includes over one million Swedish men. “Men who seek health care for infertility and assisted reproduction were shown to be at higher risk for prostate cancer than those who had become fathers by natural mea

“My stay here has not only given me practical access to sources and libraries. Being in a different academic environment has also given me new ideas and perspectives on what we do in Lund.” These are the words of historian Marie Cronqvist, who moved to Berlin with her husband and children last summer.

As a PhD student he made a significant discovery when he identified ghrelin cells in the pancreatic islands. Four hormone-producing cells were already known to exist in the islands, including the insulin cell. The ghrelin cell became the fifth such cell. “In the scientific world, the discovery of a new type of cell in a human organ is a big deal. So naturally this was an important find. Especially
