The next-door neighbour whose home you’ve never been inside. That was how Jason Diakité, also known as hip hop artist Timbuktu, felt about the University while growing up in Lund. Today, he feels differently – having been awarded an honorary doctorate and now taking his seat as one of LU’s external Cultural Council members. Inside the historic Old Bishop’s House, final preparations are underway fo

The results, published in the scientific journal BMC Psychiatry, are based on studies in five European countries – Denmark, Germany, the UK, Spain and Sweden – and include more than 22 000 (non-hospitalised) individuals between the ages of 12 and 49.Abu

Infant mortality in Malawi is among the highest in the world. In a new EU-funded project, researchers from Lund, Cork and Oxford will develop new mobile technology to help health care staff in the country diagnose and treat serious diseases earlier and more effectively. In rural Malawi, aid organisations’ health care staff use a disease manual called IMCI, developed by the World Health Organisatio

A drug has shown great promise in the treatment of neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of childhood cancer. The study was led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden, and is published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

Pancreatic cancer is currently very difficult to detect while it is still resectable. A new blood test developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden, Herlev Hospital, Knight Cancer Center and Immunovia AB, can detect pancreatic cancer in the very earliest stages of the disease. The results have been published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. Due to diffuse symptoms, pancreatic cancer i

Long life is common among bird parents that get help with childcare. This finding comes from researchers at the universities of Lund and Oxford who reviewed data from more than 9,000 studies. Being a parent can be tough. In general, animals that care for many offspring die young, at least in species where parents are not helped by others. However, in some species things are different and parents r

A research group at Lund University in Sweden has found a new way to identify the most malignant tumours in children. The method involves studying genetic ‘micro-variation’, rather than the presence of individual mutations. In adult cancers, the tumour cells are more genetically variable than healthy cells. When a cancerous cell divides, the chromosomes often end up in the wrong place, or break an

Threats and hate speech from outside are certainly very trying. But could they be even worse when they come from within the organisation? What if you barely dare to go to work because you get threatened – or you are not even allowed in to work because you are accused of threatening someone else?

In the wake of climate change and an increasingly warmer and drier climate, wildfires are becoming more common. In Ukraine, the war further increases the risk. Already in March this year, fires broke out around Chernobyl.

A new experimental and clinical study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the sleep hormone melatonin impairs insulin secretion in people with a common gene variant.

“This could explain why the risk of type 2 diabetes is greater among, for instance, overnight workers or people with sleeping disorders”, says Professor Hindrik Mulder who is responsible for the study. Melatonin is a naturally
