Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Arbetshästen Philip Warkander blev Sveriges första doktor i modevetenskap. Att forska i ett nytt ämne beskriver han som att ständigt tvivla – något han också gör på den akademiska världens fokus på hårt arbete. För som kringflyttande forskare märkte han en dag att den klassiska mansfällan slagit igen – vänner och in

En ny rapport föreslår att institutionerna får huvudansvaret för att utveckla uppdragsutbildningen.

The aggregation of the protein Amyloid-beta (Abeta) into plaques outside the nerve cells has been recognized in patients with Alzheimer’s disease since 1905. But eliminating the plaques has not helped patients so far. Still, Tomas Roos was recently recruited as a postdoc in our lab. He thinks that Abeta matters, but we may need to focus on the aggregates elsewhere. Earlier this spring, he defended
By using cells isolated from cancer patients and mixing them with a new technology called “OssiGel”, it is possible to engineer human mini-bones. These miniaturized organs consist of mature bone and marrow tissue and can be used as model to study the disease mechanisms behind cancers that arise in bone marrow or spread to the bones, and offer the personalized testing of new drugs.

Where were the suspects located before a crime was committed? Where was a bomb assembled or a batch of drugs produced? A new technique that analyzes environmental DNA could help provide answers. Geneticist Eran Elhaik at Lund University has developed an AI-based tool designed to support forensic investigations. The technology uses environmental DNA (eDNA) to help determine geographical origin from

In the 1960s, Europe’s largest steel plant was built in Taranto, Italy. While transforming the local economy, it generated pollution that has been linked to illness and premature death among residents. In his doctoral thesis, Carlo Nicoli Aldini shows how law has both contributed to the crisis and been used as an instrument to seek justice by the local population. Carlo Nicoli Aldini recently comp

A new technology that makes hydrogen from forestry and agricultural residues that are currently burnt is being developed at Lund University. The plan is to efficiently produce a green gas that society needs - while cutting carbon emissions. The researchers' European consortium has received SEK 37 million from the EU Innovation Fund to realise the technology. Renewable hydrogen is no longer conside

Investigating air pollution is not for researchers afraid of heights. One of the fearless is Erik Ahlberg, a combustion physicist at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH). His working days are often spent far above ground – currently on the roof of Malmö Town Hall, where the instruments that capture air particles are located. There are many stairs in the town hall. The last staircase to the top of the

Lokala valutor kan uppkomma när det finns ett tydligt behov av vissa varor och tjänster i ett närområde och kompetensen att ta fram dem finns, men bristen på traditionella pengar lägger hinder i vägen. Bristen på pengar kan vara resultatet av pandemier, krig, naturkatastrofer, finansiella kriser eller fattigdom. Ester Barinaga, professor i entreprenörskap på Ekonomihögskolan har länge studerat oli
