The Middle East in the Contemporary World (MECW) is a multi- and transdisciplinary strategic research area, hosted and supported by the Center for Middle Eastern Studies, comprising staff from five different faculties at Lund University.

Department of Clinical Sciences Lund/Clinical Sciences Helsingborg (Avdelningen Kliniska Vetenskaper Helsingborg, AKVH) was constituted when Helsingborg General Hospital became part of the Lund University Medical School program 2012. Today, a network of researchers from different specialties are affiliated to AKVH.

The Admissions Office is responsible for admissions to the University’s courses and programmes, and answers questions about decisions in admissions cases. We are also responsible for the planning and execution of the Swedish Scholastic Aptitude Test twice a year. The unit has local responsibility for the admissions system NyA, including administration of users. Part of the task also involves actin

This project aims to develop incretin therapy as a glucose-reducing strategy in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Its particular focus is to understand the mechanisms of incretin therapy and to optimize its clinical positioning. This mission is achieved by an interdisciplinary approach with complementary studies in subjects with T2D, healthy volunteers and experimental animals.

Our group investigates hip joint diseases that start during childhood but may result in impaired function and OA in adulthood. 1) Hip dysplasia ranges from congenital dislocation to dysplasia in adults. 2) Femuroacetabulärt impingement (FAI) is developmental anatomical deformity. 3) Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) is a slip in the growth plate of the femoral head, most commonly: a. Chro

Our mission is to establish a major trans-faculty bio-imaging center at Lund University (Lund University Bioimaging Center), combining knowledge in the fields of medical physics, preclinical and clinical medicine, chemistry, technology and applied mathematics in order to develop imaging methods for the advanced study of human morphology, cellular metabolism and physiological function in health and

Several research projects at our Division are focused on molecular and cellular mechanisms that contribute to the development of severe infections caused preferentially by bacteria, but also by viruses and fungi. The starting point for this work has often been the discovery of bacterial surface proteins and enzymes that interact with human defenses (innate and acquired immunity and blood coagulati

Currently, the focus of the group’s research has been on the relationship between room acoustics and voice use in teachers. This work, supported by AFA insurance, examines the prevalence and aetiology of voice disorders in teachers in Southern Sweden, applying a blend of techniques: questionnaires, high-speed laryngeal imaging, acoustic and perceptual voice analysis, and field studies of voice use

The purpose of the unit is to coordinate and develop support and training for learning environments, both digital and campus-based, at Lund University. The Unit for Educational Services has two websites: Transforming education in a digital world – www.education.lu.se/en (for staff) Your digital study environment – ​​www.campusonline.lu.se/en (for students) The unit also sends out a digital

The primary function of the Division of Finances is to give operations at Lund University support for a rational economic administration and to supply high quality economic information for decision-making both within and outside the University. This means that the Division of Finances is responsible for: the accountancy system of the University and its economic model supporting departments in

NanoLund, the centre for research, education and innovation in nanoscience at Lund University, engages over 400 researchers, students and staff at the faculties of engineering, science and medicine. It is a strategic research area funded by the Swedish Government and Sweden’s largest research environment for nanoscience and nanotechnology.

Our ambition is to be a Great Place to do Nanoscience:

[BR]Mätteknik för registrering och analys av krafter, moment och deformationer i maskinsystem. [BR]Gjutning och bearbetning av verktygsmaterial. [BR]FEM- och randvärdesanalys av maskinkomponenter och verktyg. [BR]Simulering och övervakning av plastiska formningsoperationer primärt inriktat

The Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies was created in 1997 as the result of a special government initiative. The Centre's task is the encouragement and furtherance of research in Sweden concerning modern East and South-East Asia, including the rapidly changing societies, developing economies and political institutions in the region. Building upon existing strengths at Lund University in

Liver research focus on clinical results and registries, especially liver metastases from colorectal cancer. Biomarker research (cancer tissue) in order to improve diagnosis and targeted therapy. Multimodal treatment concepts are evaluated. Development of novel techniques evaluating the quality of liver parenchyma including tissue perfusion. Pancreatic cancer – identification of novel biomarkers,

Cats are very popular pets, and they are increasingly being used in therapy, and as companions in institutions such as retirement homes. Therefore, it is important to gain a better understanding of the human–cat relationship, including the vocal signals used to communicate. Cats have learned to communicate with humans using visual and vocal signals. However, many aspects of the cat's vocal communi

Suicide research is of importance to find new strategies to prevent suicide. Each year approximately 800 000 people in the world, and 1500 people in Sweden commit suicide. The suicide rate has not decreased over the last 15 years. The Unit for Clinical Suicide Research cover different areas within this field. • Area A: Psychopathology and risk factors. Our group investigates how psychopathology

Available HIV treatments are unsatisfactory since they don’t clear the infection and result in expensive and life‐long treatment on an every‐day basis without clear evidence of the long‐term consequences and side effects of this. Our research is highly translational and combines clinical, experimental and bioinformatics research in various systems virology approaches to uncover nocel key virus-hosAvailable HIV treatments are unsatisfactory since they don’t clear the infection and result in expensive and life‐long treatment on an every‐day basis without clear evidence of the long‐term consequences and side effects of this.
