Dryga tre veckor har gått sedan vårt symposium: "Conducting research in interdisciplinary teams". Den 21 oktober hade vi det stora nöjet att välkomna både Martin Cloonan och Britta Padberg, två av våra externa utvärderare, tillbaka till Lund. Och båda var vänliga nog att tala på symposiet. Martin Cloonan inledde med att ta publiken tillbaka till maj 2024 och det arbete som de externa utvärderarna

Over the past year, the health service has witnessed an increasing number of patients with long-term effects of Covid-19, including chronic symptoms that suggest POTS. POTS is a condition that causes the pulse to race when you stand up. Until now, too little has been known about POTS as a complication following a Covid infection, but researchers from Lund University and Karolinska Institutet have

The MAX IV facility, set to become the brightest x-ray source in the world in 2016, has now been handed over to Lund University by the building contractor. Covering 50 000 square metres, the facility consists of a linear accelerator, storage rings, an office building and outdoor environments. It will now become the workplace for MAX IV’s 240 members of staff; in future the facility will be able to

Our DNA is very similar to that of the chimpanzee, which in evolutionary terms is our closest living relative. Stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now found a previously overlooked part of our DNA, so-called non-coded DNA, that appears to contribute to a difference which, despite all our similarities, may explain why our brains work differently. The study is published in the jo

In recent years, great advances have been made in the development of new successful immunotherapies to treat cancer. CAR T-cell therapy and antibody treatments are two types of targeted immunotherapies that have revolutionised areas of cancer care. However, there are still significant challenges in the identification of cancer cell surface proteins as targets for immunotherapies. A research group

Continuity in healthcare can improve health outcomes of patients by ensuring that patient-specific information is not lost in translation between providers, and by improving the appropriate follow-up care. Yet, little is known about how patients cope with the sudden and permanent loss of a main provider in healthcare, such as a primary care practice. The findings in a new PhD thesis from Lund Univ
