After screening 15 000 women over a period of five years, a major clinical study in Sweden has shown that 3D mammography, or breast tomosynthesis, detects over 30% more cancers compared to traditional mammography – with a majority of the detected tumours proving to be invasive cancers. The extensive screening study wa

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Approximately 10–15 per cent of breast cancer cases do not respond to treatment with hormone therapy, which means that they are more aggressive and often recur. An international research team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has uncovered a way to treat these aggressive tumours through manipulation of t

There were fewer cases of breast cancer between two screening rounds, and of the cancers that did develop, fewer were advanced or aggressive. The final results from Lund University's MASAI trial are now available, and they show further benefits of AI-supported breast cancer screening. The study has already shown that AI support in mammography screening contributes to a 29 percent increase in detec

Researchers at Lund University want to use AI methods, population registers, mobile data and novel data sources to develop and evaluate applications that can be used to detect and combat pandemics in the future. A large collaborative project is funded by Vinnova, Sweden’s innovation agency. During the corona pandemic, it has been necessary for the authorities to act quickly and use available popul

This autumn, LU Estates and Akademiska Hus will measure how much certain premises rented by the University are actually used. The measurements will be conducted by sensors placed at the entrances and exits to some offices and in lecture halls. The aim is to improve efficiency and reduce the need for premises. Digitalisation and the increase in working from home have led to offices being used less

For the last three years, middle-school classrooms in Lund and Staffanstorp have been getting a special visit during the autumn: scientists walk in with stories about their favorite research topic and what it is like to work in a lab. This is the Science to Schools program, an initiative that began as an idea from PhD student Abigail Altman and has now grown into a collaboration involving Lund Ste

Generative AI is a topic that currently engages many of us. It is present in corridor conversations, in our teaching and in the way we work. Even if not all the work is yet visible, a great deal is happening – both at the university-wide level and here at the Faculty – to understand what this means for our programmes and how we can best embrace AI in our activities.For the Faculty leadership, this
