Dear colleagues,Two weeks ago, when it briefly felt like spring was coming, I went for a walk in the Science Village area between MAXIV and ESS. On the walk were the management teams of both LTH and the Faculty of Science, as well as Ola Wendt, head of the Department of Chemistry. There were many conversations about the size of the buildings, about people and things moving between different activi

Application deadlines and competence management plansIt's that time of year when many have just submitted applications to the Swedish Research Council or Formas. Thank you for that! These grants are important to keep the department's finances running smoothly. It's also the time of year when we have to apply for new teaching positions at the faculties. So in every way it is a time to plan for rene

The scientific secrets behind the creation of the XANADU logoBy Emanuel Larsson, researcher at Antigen Presentation, Department of Experimental Medical Science, Lund University.IntroductionA straightforward idea would have been to just create the XANADU logo in a text compiler or graphical text design software. However, we felt that there was a need to incorporate some scientific knowledge into t

2 years · 120 credits The master programme in experimental particle and nuclear physics consists of a number of mandatory and optional courses, and a master project. There is a great freedom in the selection of courses and one can cover both experimental and theoretical aspects of particle and nuclear physics. The master project is typically done inside the division’s experimental projects. Course

Degree requirementsThe quantum science and technology track of the master programme in physics offers a wide range of courses. Each study period, you're required to select 15 credits worth of courses (typically two half-time courses, unless stated otherwise). Be sure to review the course requirements and reach out to the course coordinator if you have any questions.To view the general degree requi

A recurring item on the agenda during my first months as Head of the Department of Physics has been and remains the issue of decision-making. At head of department meetings, leadership training, department and divisional management meetings, it is always there.- Don't be afraid to make decisions, they can change, is a recurring advice.And yes, it is true. New decisions can be made and sometimes th

We shall explore genetic function by a combination of genetic and functional assays. First, via expression profiling, we intend to determine which genes for mitochondrial proteins are altered in pancreatic β-cells, liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. This will be performed in material from i) humans with or without the disease, ii) in genetically or pharmacologically manipulated animals an

To accomplish these goals we will: A) establish the stimulus-secretion coupling in human pancreatic islets from non-diabetic organ donors to obtain proof of concepts derived from rodent studies; these data will also establish the gold standard for efforts to differentiate embryonic stem cells into mature islet cells.

How do we get people from different cultures, industries and worlds to sit down and talk to each other? First, they need to be brought together, and this alone requires the right person for the job.

PI: Nils Wierup The emergence of morbidly obese patients has prompted novel approaches to achieve weight reduction. Given that energy reduction by dieting is largely unsuccessful in this paitent group, surgical procedures have instead been developed to dramatically restrict food intake. Indeed, over the course of months patients may loose up to 50% in body weight. In addition, the majority of pati

PI: Albert Salehi The antiology of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes is complex and involves the interaction between both genetic and environmental factors (also including nutritional and metabolic signals).

New drug targetsWe have in the different sections tested a number of pathways as putative new drug targets including exploring the role of TXNIP for the development of glucotoxicity in β-cells, muscle and kidney and the role of glucokinase in the β-cells. We have also explored the role of Ncf1 in thymus mediated control of tolerance. Potentially, all studied pathways can include regulatory steps w

In the project I am involved with we are trying to simulate breast and breast cancer tumours. The simulations can assist and support clinical research, by predicting treatment plans and diagnostic tools in breast cancer screening. In addition, we try to assess the growth rate of tumours in women in Sweden, in order to identify which tumours that are less aggressive and where unnecessary interventi
