Doctoral student in epidemiological methods / applied medical statistics

The doctoral project is a project in epidemiological methods / applied medical statistics in the field of infectious diseases. The overall aim of the project is to investigate socioeconomic and demographic gradients in the risk of severe infectious diseases through epidemiological studies, with a special focus on sepsis and covid-19, to study direct and indirect effects and long-term effects after

Comparison of the performances of survival analysis regression models for analysis of conception modes and risk of type-1 diabetes among 1985–2015 Swedish birth cohort

The goal is to examine the risk of conception mode-type-1 diabetes using different survival analysis modelling approaches and examine if there are differentials in the risk of type-1 diabetes between children from fresh and frozen-thawed embryo transfers. We aimed to compare the performances and fitness of different survival analysis regression models with the Cox proportional hazard (CPH) model u

Risk of bladder cancer by disease severity in relation to metabolic factors and smoking

New population study from Lund University Risk of bladder cancer by disease severity in relation to metabolic factors and smoking; a prospective pooled cohort study of 800,000 men and womenPrevious studies on metabolic factors and bladder cancer (BC) risk have shown inconsistent results and have commonly not investigated associations separately by sex, smoking, and tumor invasiveness. Among 811 63

Obesity reprogrammes muscle stem cells

Obesity is associated with reduced muscle mass and impaired metabolism. Epigenetic changes that affect the formation of new muscle cells may be a contributing factor, according to new research from Lund University, Sweden. In a new study, doctoral student Cajsa Davegårdh has studied so-called DNA methylation in muscle stem cells in both obese and non-obese individuals. DNA methylation is an epigen

100 million SEK for personalized medicine in Diabetes

Almost 0.5 billion people have diabetes globally, many of whom are unaware of their condition; within the next two decades, this number is expected to double, largely owing to a growing, ageing, and increasingly industrialized global population. Lund University receives 100 million SEK from The Swedish Foundation of Strategic Research to help stop this development. “This is excellent news and a fa

Unique mapping of methylome in insulin-producing islets

Throughout our lives, our genes are affected by the way we live. Diet, exercise, age and diseases create imprints that are stored in something called methylome. Now, for the first time, researchers at the Lund University Diabetes Centre in Sweden have been able to map the entire methylome in the pancreatic islets which produce insulin, and the researchers have made several important discoveries. U

Successful research funded by the European Research Council

Six researchers from Lund University Diabetes Centre have recieved prestigous grants from the European Research Council (ERC). In order to celebrate the success we invited the public to an open seminar. Some of the talks can be reviewed here (in Swedish).

From injections to pills - the research on neonatal diabetes

They govern everything we think and do, they give us the ability to feel pain and to secrete insulin: they are the ion channels that are present in every one of our cells and that control the electrical impulses in our nerve and muscle cells. “For me, they are the very spark of life”, says Dame Frances Ashcroft, professor at the University of Oxford, who is also now to be an honorary doctor at Lun

200.000 euro to diabetes research

Four researchers have been awarded grants from The Bo and Kerstin Hjelt Diabetes Foundation. The grant consists of Euro 50 000 each and are aiming towards better treatments and prevention of type 2-diabetes. Improved life expectancy and quality of people with diabetesDiabetes affects millions of patients around the world. The two main types of the disease, type 1 and type 2, are both characterized

The role of vitamin A in diabetes

There has been no known link between diabetes and vitamin A -- until now. A new study suggests that the vitamin improves the insulin producing β-cell´s function.The researchers initially discovered that insulin-producing beta-cells contain a large quantity of a cell surface receptor for vitamin A. "There are no unnecessary surface receptors in human cells. They all serve a purpose but which, in ma

New research describes the differences between mice and humans

Research from King’s College in London, UK, and Lund University in Sweden could explain why diabetes drugs which have worked in animal experiments are not equally successful in humans. The researchers discovered differences – but also unknown similarities – in the function of insulin-producing beta cells. The team have mapped a category of receptors, known as G protein-coupled receptors, which con
