Sexual harassment, mental health issues, racism and non-European doctoral students engaged in uphill struggles with the Swedish Migration Agency to be allowed to remain in Sweden. These are examples of the sorts of things that Haro de Grauw has been faced with since becoming doctoral student ombudsman in Lund almost two years ago. Most often, however, it is another factor that makes doctoral stude

At the intersection of aesthetics and economy, the Centre for Aesthetics and Business Creativity (ABC) is transforming innovation by making aesthetics, economic and technology conversant in an organisational context. We spoke with postdoctoral researchers Alexandra Huang-Kokina and Robin Porsfelt, two new voices helping to shape the Centre's ambitious vision, from immersive AI-driven opera to reim

In five years’ time, the Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts will move into Kockums’ old industrial premises in Varvsstaden in Malmö. Inside the gigantic machine hall, soil remediation is underway. Toxins and oils have to be cleaned up before the construction work can start. Things are moving fast for Sanimir Resić. He joined the Malmö Academy of Music as head of department around 18 months ago. A

The quest to control the remarkable phenomena of quantum physics is ongoing around the world. This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics is making the subject even hotter. Lund University is also involved in exploring the unknown – and at times mind-boggling – perspectives of quantum states. Mathieu Gisselbrecht, senior lecturer in Physics, leads the way down the basement corridor of the Laser Centre at F

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
In patients with symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, dizziness, or fainting, or in individuals that physicians suspect may have atrial fibrillation, many days of ECGs may be required for diagnosis – “long-term ECG recordings”. These recordings must then undergo a time-consuming and human resource-intensive review to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. In a large international study, researcher

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. There is a noticeably nervous atmosphere in the small examination room at the women's clinic. Medical students Caroline Hellsten, Joakim Öhman and Rasmus Hagberg are about to carry out a gynaecological examination for the first time during their studies. However, Marina Larsson Silly, who is today's 'professional pati

For the last three years, middle-school classrooms in Lund and Staffanstorp have been getting a special visit during the autumn: scientists walk in with stories about their favorite research topic and what it is like to work in a lab. This is the Science to Schools program, an initiative that began as an idea from PhD student Abigail Altman and has now grown into a collaboration involving Lund Ste

Nu har forskarna fått svaret på frågan om oralt insulin kan förhindra tidiga tecken på typ 1-diabetes eller klinisk diagnos hos små barn med förhöjd risk att utveckla sjukdomen. Även om behandlingen inte kunde förhindra utvecklingen av diabetesrelaterade autoantikroppar fördröjde oralt insulin sjukdomshastigheten hos barn som utvecklade sådana autoantikroppar. Omkring 170 svenska barn har deltagit

Bete är en nyckelåtgärd för att bevara naturbetesmarker, några av Sveriges viktigaste livsmiljöer ur natur- och kulturvårdssynpunkt. Det är dock en utmaning att hitta rätt nivå på betet vilket leder till att många värdefulla marker betas för hårt, medan andra marker växer igen. För att diskutera utmaningar med ett högt betestryck, och öppna dörren till möjliga lösningar, bjöd LU Land in till ett f
Researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center are coming together with colleagues across Lund University to shape the future of healthcare.

This Regional Outlook provides insight into an emerging environmental hazard: dust storms in the Middle East, one of the driest regions in the world. It also sheds light on the typical drivers and new technologies that can help investigate this phenomenon. Some sustainable mitigation measures are also discussed.
