Mikael Dolsten was an advisor to President Obama, worked with Joe Biden on Cancer Moonshot, was involved in the R&D for some 30 drugs – and he is now leading the development of Pfizer’s and BioNTech’s coronavirus vaccine as head of research at Pfizer. It is an impressive career to say the least, and it started in Lund, Sweden. The circle will be closed on 1 January 2021, when he takes up his visit
Raquel Garza Gómez is a Ph.D. student at Lund University, who will be defending her thesis on January 19, 2024. With a background in computational biology, Raquel's research focuses on studying the role of transposable elements in the human brain. Transposable elements refer to DNA sequences capable of moving from one part of the genome to another. Her research aims to provide a better understandi
We were all small, newborn infants once. But some of us were perhaps too small as newborns? A child that is born “small for gestational age” means that they have not grown according to their normal curve during the foetal period. By studying the group of small newborns in epidemiological, or register, studies, researchers follow what happens to these infants later in life. This knowledge is of gre

The energy sector is one of the sectors that need to undergo both rapid and far-reaching transformation to limit the effects of climate change. What is the significance of basic research, which investigates new theories and new approaches, in driving development? Solar energy has great potential to become one of our most important energy sources. The energy in the sun’s rays corresponds to more th

The knife rack has replaced the bookshelf as a symbol of cultural capital. However, following decades of lifestyle eating, cooking shows and palate sensations, a new food generation is starting to establish itself. Food ethnologist Håkan Jönsson sees a comeback for ready-made meals and abstemiousness. Food is more than sustenance, what role does food play for us today?“Food has become a way to dem

Better than expected, but not without its challenges, especially socially. That’s how a couple of our students and staff tell the story of how we went from campus education to distance learning methods in a matter of days. Wednesday 18 March. The campus is still open to students and staff, but from now on very few, if any, lectures and group assessments are to be held here. Not today, and not duri

When everyday life is not recognisable, when conversation is silenced, when memories disappear. Alzheimer’s disease is contracted by 60 000 people in Sweden annually and accounts for 60 per cent of all types of dementia disease. There is no cure, but research has come a long way in diagnosing the disease at an early stage. “Over the past ten years there has been a revolution concerning our possibi

Article in The Conversation by Paul Franks, professor of genetic epidemiology and Peter M Nilsson, professor of internal medicine - epidemiology at Lund University. A growing number of Swedish doctors and scientists are raising alarm over the Swedish government’s approach to COVID-19. Unlike its Nordic neighbours, Sweden has adopted a relatively relaxed strategy, seemingly assuming that overreacti

In type 2 diabetes, the body’s cells are unable to assimilate the essential hormone insulin which is produced in the beta cells of the pancreas. Exactly what is wrong with the beta cells in type 2 diabetes is the question to which Professor Erik Renström at Lund University Diabetes Centre is searching for an answer. After just over twenty years of successful research in the field, he is now being

IT IS HIGH TIME that we start thinking about how we define life, according to a group of Lund University researchers. An army of intelligent robots is growing in front of us, but also opportunities to alter people’s DNA, create super babies and, perhaps, to encounter life in space.“Human beings have always dreamed of playing God. With the help of new technology, we are able to reduce unnecessary s

Last month, Ella Quist defended her Ph.D. thesis. After beginning her research journey as a master’s student within our Ph.D. Preparatory Program, she dedicated the last several years to developing more efficient methods that can be used to generate functional and mature astrocytes for disease modeling of neurological disorders. In this interview, we learn more about her efforts to facilitate futu

When the Covid-19 pandemic swept across the world in 2020, the mRNA vaccines came to the rescue of many people – but in the background there was another, lesser known, hero: the lipid nanoparticle. Without these tiny “fat droplets”, the vaccines could never have been delivered into the body’s cells. And the fact is that these small particles will probably have more assignments in the future.

Two universities within 20 km of each other will become a reality next year when the higher education institution in Malmö will receive full university status. What this will mean for Lund is unclear. Will the university in Malmö be a complement or a competitor? In Lund, the feeling is cautiously optimistic.

James Surmeier, professor at Northwestern University, recently visited Lund University where he gave the 2018 Segerfalk Lecture. In this interview, he talks about how technology is helping brain research to advance, about almost giving up research altogether – and the discovery that could slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease. James Surmeier grew up on a farm in Idaho, studied mathematics, b

An increasing number of people want to help bees and other pollinators by growing flowers that are rich in pollen and nectar. But which flowers are the most beneficial? If the point is to aid threatened bee species and biodiversity, then a variety of native plants is the way to go. If you are a farmer, with large areas of insect-pollinated crops, it might be easiest to aim for a few species of flo
