When research findings are ready to make the leap from the lab to the patient, the requirements become much stricter. That is precisely where many promising projects start to falter. “We want to be the bridge between research and the patient, so that promising projects don’t get stuck in that difficult transition,” says Sara Nolbrant, director of the new pre-GMP facility. And with that, she disapp

En tre kilometer lång cylinder av is kastar ljus på hur klimatet såg ut hundratusen år bakåt i tiden. Där finns spår som visar på perioder av varmare eller kallare klimat på jorden, men också om det förekom kraftiga vulkanutbrott eller hög solaktivitet. Genom att förstå dåtidens klimat kan forskare utveckla bättre modeller för att förutspå ett framtida klimat. Av Nina NordhDet finns många sätt att

I-PROTECT är ett nytt skadepreventionsprogram för ungdomshandboll i Sverige som utvecklats av forskare vid Lunds universitet i nära samarbete med spelare och tränare. Programmet genomförs inom den ordinarie träningen och kombinerar fysiska och mentala övningar. En studie visar nu att I-PROTECT är minst lika lätt att följa som handbollens etablerade uppvärmningsprogram. Skador inom handbollen är va

Berättelsen om Ukrainas musikscen sedan den ryska invasionen är en historia om motståndskraft. Även om musicerandet har inneburit att spela i tunnelbanan eller i kalla bombskydd har musiker hittat nya vägar för att kunna fortsätta spela. Nu står fem klassiska musiker från Ukraina på scenen i Malmö. Det har gått över tre år sedan Rysslands invasion av Ukraina 2022. Staden Charkiv, hemstad för Ukrai

Fredrik Bexell, 38 år bosatt i Lomma, är universitetets nya säkerhetschef. De senaste femton åren har han tillbringat som specialistofficer inom Försvarsmakten. Vilken blir din viktigaste uppgift? – Att nå ut till alla. Det kanske låter som en floskel men säkerhet är något vi skapar tillsammans. En del tycker nog att vi är en bromskloss och ibland upplevs vi kanske som jobbiga. Men det är precis t

Humans and animals are not the only ones affected by viruses. Unicellular organisms can also be attacked. In a new study, scientists establish that green algae can carry latent giant virus DNA in their genome. Biology researchers at Lund University in Sweden have spent several years studying microorganisms isolated from Lake Krageholm in Skåne and Lake Örsjön in Småland. During the most recent ele

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. An international research team has found a new method for predicting entire pollen seasons, something that can help healthcare and allergy sufferers plan to reduce problems. No similar tool has previously been used in the area. The researchers also show that pollen seasons may be 60 per cent more severe in the future

For Marcus Ascard, the interest in artificial intelligence (AI) started in his early studies – he was fascinated by how a computer could play a computer game by itself. Today, the engineering student has gained working experience in artificial intelligence from two different companies, and pictures a future career within AI. Marcus is in his fifth and final year of the civil engineering program in

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. An international study led from Lund University in Sweden shows that 30 per cent of the energy in a certain type of light-absorbing iron molecule disappears in a previously unknown manner. By closing this loophole, the researchers hope to contribute to the development of more efficient solar cells using this iron-base
