Kan det amerikanska sjukvårdssystemet dra nytta av ett forskningsprojekt i skånska primärvården? Ja, det tycker USA’s nationella forskningsfinansiär NIH. Ett anslag på 33 miljoner kronor går nu till Oskar Hansson vid Lunds universitet och hans senaste projekt inom alzheimerforskning. Vi vill se om diagnostiken av Alzheimers i primärvården kan underlättas genom att använda blodprovet. Oskar Hansson

Is there any point in participating in a graduate school? After qualitative interviews with alumni from SWEAH, a scientific publication has now been published, which establishes that interdisciplinary graduate schools can play a crucial role in educating the next generation of researchers.

IIIEE is taking the lead on open, month-long online courses, known as MOOCs. The investment in MOOCs has been quite a success. In recent years, every sixth student has stated that the online courses influenced them to apply for one of the IIIEE’s traditional courses or programmes. That MOOCs attract students to study programmes is only one of several positive aspects. The opportunity to collaborat

Where, how often, and how much it is going to rain or snow in the future is difficult to predict. Anders Ahlström studies the importance of precipitation for ecosystems on Earth – and contributes with new knowledge in a complex and fraught area. Across the world, researchers are in agreement on future warming patterns. However, future precipitation is more difficult to predict, and climate models

What obstacles stand in the way of user-centred working, and what is needed to succeed? Many organisations want to adopt a user-centred approach, but a new doctoral thesis shows that success is elusive when conflicting demands and a lack of organisational support throw a spanner in the works. Today, there is considerable pressure on organisations to work in a user-centred way. There is talk of use

For many years, a bottleneck in technological development has been how to get processors and memories to work faster together. Now, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have presented a new solution integrating a memory cell with a processor, which enables much faster calculations, as they happen in the memory circuit itself. In an article in Nature Electronics, the researchers present a new c

An important element in getting blood stem cells to multiply outside the body is to understand which of the approximately 20 000 genes in the human body control their growth. A research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied close to 15 000 of these genes alongside each other. The researchers have succeeded in identifying four key genes which, together, govern the growth and multiplication
