B cells and the antibodies they produce play an important role in our immune system, protecting us from the microscopic enemies that make us ill. Uncovering how they form and are ‘programmed’ during development is key to better understanding the immune response to infections and vaccinations.

Three questions for Juanita Francis, who successfully defended her thesis in Pure and Applied Biochemistry at Lund University's Faculty of Engineering (LTH). What inspired you to pursue this research topic, and how has your understanding of it evolved throughout your PhD journey?Well, I can definitely say it’s not because I like spiders! But what they can do, efficiently producing high-performance

Many species of bee are threatened by global warming, but not all. The buff-tailed bumblebee is the world’s most common bee and will likely remain that way, as researchers from Lund University have discovered that this species benefits from a warmer climate. Through research into buff-tailed bumblebees collected by amateurs and researchers over a period of 150 years, biologists and climate researc
