From internal training courses for university lecturers in which the participants take a deep dive into case method teaching, to dedicated conferences and competitions. The alternatives to traditional classroom teaching are increasing and one of them is known as case method teaching, with assignments based on real situations which students must solve in collaboration. April was high season for cas

Local currencies may arise when there is a clear need for certain products and services in a local area and where the competences to produce them exist but the lack of traditional money puts obstacles in the way. The lack of money might be the result of pandemics, war, natural disasters, financial crises or poverty. Ester Barinaga, professor of entrepreneurship at the School of Economics and Manag

Life is like a marathon. According to Dr. Anders Björklund, a pioneer and expert in cell replacement strategies for patients with Parkinson’s Disease, so is life in academia. Along his scientific run he has passed several milestones, the most recent being a jubilee honorary doctorate awarded by Lund University in celebration of his decades of contributions to neuroscience.

When LINXS moved from its old premises at Ideon to The Loop in Science Village in March, the institute became the first research environment from Lund University to make the move to Brunnshög. Since then, activities have more than doubled, new collaborations have emerged, and the team’s mood is distinctly optimistic.I met with Anna Ntinidou, Head of Administration, Noomi Egan, Communications Offic

Researchers at Lund University have discovered how a hidden piece of DNA, known as a transposable element, disrupts normal gene function in a disease called X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP). Published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, their findings uncover the epigenetic processes that lead to changes in gene expression linked to XDP, offering new insights into how this rare genetic

De som berörs av forskningen behöver bli aktiva i forskningsprocessen, från ax till limpa. Därför kommer forskarna i CEPI, kommuner och regioner samt Verdandi slå sina kloka huvuden ihop för att samskapa ett projekt med sikte på ett hållbart arbetsliv för personer med beroende med missbruk. Personer som lever med missbruk och beroende av alkohol och/eller narkotika är en underrepresenterad grupp p

The international application period is over and we can conclude that once again, LUSEM has some of the most popular master's programmes both within Lund University and nationally. What do the programme managers themselves think about the two most popular programmes, and what do the present and former students say? For many years, our Master's programme in International Marketing & Brand Managemen

Last year's Nobel celebration was a digital version, but this year David Julius, who won the Nobel prize in Medicine or Physiology in 2021, will travel to Stockholm for the festivities. In this interview he talks about what such a prize leads to, about the joy of curiosity-driven research that, although lacking guardrails, is full of creativity and opportunities – and about the similarity between

Blood clots can form in both arteries and veins. However, the reasons behind them differ, as do the consequences and the chances of preventing blood clots. In Sweden, almost half of all cases of venous thrombosis have a genetic explanation. A team of researchers from Lund University in Sweden has now discovered three gene variants that increase the risk of blood clots in the leg by up to 180 perce

The new excavations in Uppåkra are at the forefront of cutting edge archaeological techniques. By combining big data, data modelling and DNA sequencing, researchers are currently solving significant parts of a historical puzzle. Perhaps we will learn whether the Justinianic Plague, the forerunner of the Black Death, reached Uppåkra. Until now, this has been uncertain. Torbjörn Ahlström, profes

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

In political debate, the notion of climate transition is often presented as a road lined with sacrifices. Many researchers, however, paint a picture of a day-to-day life that could be better than today’s. What is experienced as good or bad varies from one person to the next, and may vary over time.  “Whether something is getting better or worse is, of course, a subjective judgement. Norms change o

Through molecular studies of knee tissue and advanced synchrotron radiation imaging techniques, researchers hope to gain new insights into the early development of osteoarthritis. The hope is to pave the way for new treatments. For almost five years, researchers in Lund have been collecting knee tissue from over 700 people in a biobank.

Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person and another. And this can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group in Lund has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a 50-year-old myst
