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:

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.

Translational research group involving Surgery, Oncology, Dermatology, Pathology, Epidemiology and Molecular biology. Studies focus on UV-radiation and tanning devices. The CDKN2A (unique Swedish founder mutation) described by our group gives a 70 % risk for melanoma with no specific phenotype. International collaboration via GenoMEL since 15 years with EU support. A new molecular subdivision of m
Nutritional epidemiology uses epidemiological methods to examine associations between diet and disease. We use large population studies, mainly the Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort, which was established in the 90s and consists of 28,098 individuals. The diet method used consists of three parts: a) a 7-day food diary b) a 168-item semi-quantitative diet questionnaire c) a 1-hour interview. In the
Centre for Innovation Research – CIRCLE – is an interdisciplinary centre which connects innovation researchers from different faculties at Lund University as well as other Swedish and international universities. The meaning of the term innovation has transformed and is now tightly linked to sustainable development goals including climate change, social sustainability and food security. CIRCLE’s a
In 2009, a nationwide initiative was established in order to lead and develop world-leading research in Sweden. Lund University received strategic research funding from the Swedish Foundation for Stategic Research and the Swedish Government for 12 strategic research areas (SRAs) of excellence. Of these 12 SRAs, StemTherapy (the strategic research area for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine) cont
Traumatisk hjärnskada (THS) är en vanlig orsak till död och kvarstående handikapp och idag saknas effektiva behandlingar. Vår forskargrupp använder experimentella och kliniska tekniker att studera THS, från de allra svåraste skadorna till de mer milda skadorna som kan ses exempelvis efter hjärnskakning inom idrotten. Hjärnans egen förmåga till läkning är begränsad efter THS och ett viktig mål för Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common cause of death and disabilities and current treatment options are limited. The research group uses experimental and clinical approaches to study TBI, from the most severe brain injuries to the milder sport-related concussions. The brain´s own capacity for repair is poor and one research aim is to enhance brain recovery and repair following injury. TBI is al
In this paper, we model the price differentials between A shares and H shares in the Chinese stock markets with both macroeconomic factors and firm specific factors, which successfully explain the A share price premium. Discounts of H-share prices relative to A-share prices are related to the contemporaneous movements of the H-share local market index relative to the A-share local market index, th
The thesis evaluates how house price development can indicate risk of mortgage defaults. This leads to conclusions about the capability that the method of the thesis has in predicting mortgage default related crises. The questions asked regard which states in the U.S. had the most volatile house prices, which states had unexpectedly high house prices at the end of 2006, and how house prices are af
This paper addresses the usefulness of studying the interplay between central bank independence and centralized wage bargaining in the context of a repeated monetary policy game. Conventional macroeconomic wisdom suggests that because of increased credibility and the possibility to overcome inflationary bias, increased central bank independence has a negative effect on inflation rates. However, th
The future price of the FOREX rate is important for export-dependent countries and companies and the research regarding price prediction of FOREX is skewed towards the major currency pairs, leaving the smaller currency pairs to be unexplored. The study aimed to answer if the Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) or the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is the most suitable model for forecasting the rate of a s
This paper examines the challenges that climate change raises for animal agriculture and discusses the contributions that may come from a virtue ethics based approach. Two scenarios of the future role of animals in farming are set forth and discussed in terms of their ethical implications. The paper argues that when trying to tackle both climate and animal welfare issues in farming, proposals that
In this study, the impact of various traits and effects on auction price of Texel, Suffolk and German white-headed mutton rams was determined. Furthermore, (co)variance components between auction price and performance traits recorded at licensing were estimated. Data from 1988 to 2007 were extracted from the recording database of the Sheep Breeding Organisation in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Auct
Our research uses advanced technology to generate neurons from novel cell sources with the aim to extensively define the subtype and function of the generated neurons and their potential for therapeutic use in the future. For this we are using reprogramming technology in animal models or human stem cell culture system, together with electrophysiology, RNA sequencing, tracing technologies and cell Our research uses advanced technology to generate neurons from novel cell sources with the aim to extensively define the subtype and function of the generated neurons and their potential for therapeutic use in the future.
