World-Class BIO Research

Biology/Biotech/Bioinf/Biomed finds its strength in breadth and interdisciplinarity.

A recent comprehensive research assessment graded 50 research groups as “world leading” and 100 groups “of high international standard” – several of these were within Biology and related fields.

BIO in Uppsala was awarded a CHE excellence ranking 2010.

Several large strategic, long-term research grants have in recent years gone to Biology and related interdisciplinary areas.

Fields for the Future

Genomics and proteomics

Drug research

Neuroscience, cognition and behaviour

Sythetic biology
