Caption: Most patients are in a coma the first days after a cardiac arrest. Clinical tests of brain stem function, neurophysiological methods (EEG and SSEP), imaging (CT and MRI) and measurements of biomarkers in the blood are used to assess the extent of brain injury.

LINXS is an advanced study institute whose mission is to promote science and education focusing on the use of neutrons and X-rays, to attract world-leading scientists for short- and long-term focused research visits, and to create international networks.

Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease, and a rapidly growing cause of musculoskeletal disability, chronic pain, and reduced quality of life in an ageing European population. Our aims are to gain novel insights into osteoarthritis - its etiology, occurrence, natural history, treatments, prediction, disease monitoring, and disease burden - to allow for better care, decision making,

Internrevisionen är en oberoende, objektiv säkrings- och rådgivningsverksamhet med uppgift att tillföra värde och förbättra universitetets verksamhet. Vid Lunds universitet är internrevisionen en från den operativa verksamheten fristående enhet, administrativt placerad under rektor. Internrevisionen rapporterar resultatet av sitt arbete direkt till universitetsstyrelsen som är internrevisionens up

Epilepsy is a devastating neurological disorder characterized by synchronous neuronal activity, which manifests as epileptic seizures. It usually develops after an initial insult, such as head trauma or stroke, which triggers the epileptogenic process. During epileptogenesis, the affected brain regions undergo multiple changes in connectivity and gene expression, and among the most affected genes

We study how law treats people in vulnerable positions and how these people can make use of law. We are also interested in how the judicial system views individuals in relations to their context and to societal structures. The possibility to make use of one’s right can be obstructed or aggravated in a vulnerable situation, as a child or youth or old, disabled, poor or homeless person. Our research

The research group in criminal law covers a wide range of research topics and methods. A common denominator for our research is an interest in criminal law in society, with a focus on how criminal law and procedural rules and principles are shaped by, and shape, the society we live in. Our research is often characterized by a combination of traditional legal analysis on one side, and methods and t

Combustion Physics is since 2001 located in the Enoch Thulin-laboratory at the Physics Department. The general aim of the activity is to increase the basic understanding of combustion processes through experimental as well as theoretical research. The experimental research is directed towards development of laser-based diagnostic methods for measurements of parameters such as temperature and speci

Support of vital body functions is the essence of the care of severely and critically ill patients. Use of mechanical ventilation and dialysis is life saving but also increases the risks for complications, above all secondary infections. Medical technical devices, apparatus as well as single use articles should be as safe as possible to use. Our group has two lines of interest both aiming at prop

The Center for Advanced Middle Eastern Studies (CMES) at Lund University was inaugurated in 2007 to coordinate and develop education and research working on the region across various disciplines within the university. The purpose of the center is to utilize existing capacities at Lund University and create a new competence at the center to encourage and produce research and academic opportunities

The Lund Cardiac MR Group at the Department of Clinical Physiology, Lund University was established 1999 by professor Håkan Arheden and is led by a steering committee consisting of professors Håkan Arheden, Henrik Engblom, Anthony Aletras, associate professors Einar Heiberg, Ellen Ostenfeld, Erik Hedström, Katarina Steding-Ehrenborg and Johannes Töger. The group performs clinically integrated res

Bacterial infections spanning from local wound infections, affecting patients with non-healing leg ulcers, postoperative wounds or burns, to severe infections and sepsis, are significant medical problems. Today's anti-infective treatments do not address the excessive activation of inflammatory pathways during infection and sepsis, and resistance problems are increasing. Hence, there is a huge unm

Sweden's ATMP ecosystem is rapidly expanding, solidifying its place as a key player in Europe. Currently ranking among the top three countries among the EU9 for identified therapeutic ATMP companies, Sweden's strategic investments are further reinforcing its leadership (MSC 2020). This includes ongoing initiatives to establish industrial-scale ATMP manufacturing capabilities, enhancing the country

In diffusion MRI (dMRI), images are sensitised to water diffusion by the application of magnetic field gradients. Cell membranes hinder the diffusional motion and thereby contribute to the contrast in dMRI. Thus, the diffusion of water molecules is used a probe of tissue microstructure. Data from dMRI is often analysed using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), which yields image biomarkers that reflec

The Legal Department offers legal advice and support to the University above all within the following areas: administrative law, the laws concerning higher education, contract law and intellectual property rights law.
