At this ClimBEco summer meeting, mostly held online but with parallel in-person workshops in Gothenburg, Lund and Malmö, was themed around one of humanities ultimate equalizers; that of food. The way we produce, move and use food globally has important implications on just about every challenge we currently face in the world, reflected in the overall title of the summer meeting.

Today Sarai-Anne Ikenze succesfully defended her doctoral thesis ‘Policy Choices in African Structural Adjustment: An Exploration of Sectoral Continuity’, in which she descriptively demonstrates significant continuity over time in terms of which sectors were prioritized and the policy approaches used to structure economic activity within those sectors in ten Sub-Saharan African countries between t

A new study led by Lund University in Sweden shows that cities negatively affect the diversity of birds. There are significantly fewer bird species in urban forests compared with forests in the countryside - even if the forest areas are of the same quality. The researchers examined 459 natural woodlands located in or near 32 cities in southern Sweden. They counted the occurrence of different bird

What makes for a successful transition to a low-carbon energy system? Local involvement, perceived fairness and information sharing, according to new research from Lund University in Sweden. The researchers studied two cases, one in Samsø (Denmark) and one in Feldheim (Germany) of successful implementation of low-carbon energy systems. Samsø is the world’s first 100% renewable energy-powered islan

The risk of exposure to covid-19 virus particles increases the closer you are to a patient, the higher virus levels of the patient, and if ventilation is inadequate. Measurements of viruses in the hospital air by researchers at Lund University provide new knowledge on how best to adapt care to reduce the risk of infection. The international guidelines that currently exist in healthcare need revisi

What are your thoughts on death? How would you like to spend your last days? These kinds of existential questions are explored at so-called death cafés - gatherings that Jamie Woodworth began organising before she was 25, as a way of dealing with her anxiety about climate change. Now she has been awarded an honourable mention for her doctoral thesis on end-of-life care in the Swedish welfare state

It is a cold, grey November day in 2018 when we meet the researchers from Lund University at MAX IV, a research facility with the world's brightest and most focused X-rays. Researchers from all over the world travel here to investigate things at the atomic level and see how molecules bind to one other; knowledge that is valuable when developing new drugs, for example. Months of preparation have go

Forskare i Lund har upptäckt en antitoxinmekanism som tycks kunna neutralisera hundratals olika toxiner och därmed skydda bakterier mot virusattacker. Mekanismen har fått namnet Panacea, efter den grekiska medicinens gudinna vars namn har blivit synonymt med universellt botemedel. Förståelsen av bakteriella toxin- och antitoxinmekanismer kommer att vara avgörande för framtida framgångsrik fagterap

Metformin är ett läkemedel som ska sänka blodsockret vid typ 2-diabetes. En tredjedel av patienterna svarar inte på behandlingen och en tredjedel upplever allvarliga biverkningar, varför många väljer att sluta medicinera. Nu har forskare vid Lunds universitets Diabetescentrum utvecklat, och sökt patent på, en markör som genom ett enkelt blodprov i förväg visar hur patienten kommer att svara på beh

In recent years, great advances have been made in the development of new successful immunotherapies to treat cancer. CAR T-cell therapy and antibody treatments are two types of targeted immunotherapies that have revolutionised areas of cancer care. However, there are still significant challenges in the identification of cancer cell surface proteins as targets for immunotherapies. A research group

A completely new classification of diabetes which also predicts the risk of serious complications and provides treatment suggestions. We are now seeing the first results of ANDIS – a study covering all newly diagnosed diabetics in southern Sweden — published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. The major difference from today’s classification is that type 2 diabetes actually consists of several
