Departmental Staff

My research focuses on cell-autonomous immunity and bacterial evasion strategies

My research focuses on the interaction between diet, gut microbiota and mucosal barrier function.

I study molecular mechanisms of human bacterial symbionts.

I am the national director for the National Doctoral Programme in Infections and Antibiotics, NDPIA, and I am a group leader studying infection biology at the Department of Molecular Biology.

My research project is centered around the protein POF (Painting of Fourth). POF specifically binds to the fourth chromosome of the fruitfly (Drosophila melanogaster).  

MiMS group leader and malaria researcher interested in parasite-host interactions.

I study adaptations of pathogenic bacteria to adverse environments.

I am a group leader at MIMS and researching the cell walls of bacteria.

I am a phD student at the industrial Doctoral School.

I am a professor of genetics and my research is focused on understanding the meaning and function of chromosomes to organize the genome and to make it function properly.

Our study is focused on studying cancer metastasis and developing targeted drugs. 

I am a researcher in T-cell biology and development of new methods (bioinformatics algorithms and wet lab protocols), with special emphasis on immunotherapy and CAR T cells.

As a structural biologist, I am fascinated by how evolution has shaped important molecular mechanisms and how pathogens use these for infection. I am a SciLifeLab National Fellow.

Katharina Wulff studies the physiological mechanisms of mammalian timing behaviour from infancy to adulthood and the way in which biological clocks exploit daylight to entrain to the environment. 

Research: Understanding the physiology and pathogenesis of bacteria

Education: Director of undergraduate education at the Department of Molecular Biology

Project coordinator and responsible for communications at The Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden, MIMS. 

My research is about genome scale approaches to understand the biology of malaria parasites and how they interact with the mosquitoes that transmit them.

Forecasting experimental evolution of biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance

Sun Nyunt Wai is Professor of Medical Microbial Pathogenesis and conducts research on the properties of pathogenic bacteria at the molecular level.

Teresa Frisan, PhD, is Professor in Cell and Molecular Biology at Umeå University, actively involved in research and in teaching within the frame of undergraduate programs.

I am full professor and studying environmental signal sensing and integration.

Study councellor for the Bachelor's programmes in Life science and Biomedicine, Master's programmes in Biotechnology, Molecular Biology and Biomedicine.
