Understanding how fungal–plant partnerships shape biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and the resilience of terrestrial ecosystems.

I am a guest researcher affiliated to the Umeå Plant Science Center (UPSC) supporting structural biology research of Photosystem II.

I am a staff scientist at Physiological Botany / UPSC (35%), union representative for Saco-S (40%) and main work environment representatives (HAMO, 25%) at Umeå University.

I work as Communications Officer at Umeå Plant Science Centre (UPSC; www.upsc.se), a research centre jointly run by Umeå University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.

Head of Facility at Swedish Metabolomics Centre (www.swedishmetabolomicscentre.se). 

I do research on plant defense – from molecular mechanisms and ecological interactions, to evolutionary consequences.

I am PhD student of plant genomics at the Department of Plant Physiology in the Umeå Plant Science Centre (UPSC; www.upsc.se).

Computational biologist studying how tissue topology and cell geometry shape plant development, mechanics, and resilience.

I am a postdoc in Laura Carroll research group.

Ilian Giordano Ponce-Pineda is a postdoctoral researcher at the Umeå Plant Science Centre. He is currently studying chloroplast-to-nucleus signaling during plant development.
 
 
 

Bioinformatician. Working with bioinformatics support within NBIS (National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden)

We investigate how plants modify their translation and metabolism to optimize growth in the ever changing environment.

My name is Kostas and I am a soil microbial ecologist working at the intersection of plants, soils and microbes. My research at the UPSC focuses on mycorrhiza fungi.

Asst. Prof. Laura Bacete leads a research group exploring plant cell wall dynamics to understand integrity & response to stress, benefiting agriculture & sustainability.

I use bioinformatics and genomics to identify genes controlling plant metabolism and stress, focusing on their evolution to understand how plants adapt to changing environments.

We perform genomics research in forest trees to understand how the genome determines phenotypic traits.

Manager of the C-trap facility.

Single molecule imaging and manipulation in real time and correlated force measurements at the molecular scale.

Mechanics and Dynamics of Cell-Cell Adhesion in Plants

I am a postdoc in Laura Carroll's group. My research focuses on between-host transmission of Non-typhoidal Salmonella species and the mobility of their associated antibiotic resistance genes.
