Research projects

We have four major areas of expertise within the Unit. These are

  • A: Medical and Translational Informatics
  • B: Bioinformatics
  • C: Computational and Network Biology
  • D: Experimental Cellular Molecular Biology and Genomics technologies

We address both fundamental problems in each area as well as performing a number of applied collaborative projects involving one or several areas of expertise. Coupled to our computational expertise we have our own molecular biology wet lab with strong medical and biological expertise. The ongoing projects listed below are examples of such externally funded enterprises. For project administration contact: Pernilla Appelquist. The Scientific coordinator is listed below for each project.

  • RecordedBody,  interdisciplinary research, exploring computing solutions for future health. Our aim is to provide citizens with the tools and solutions that will help them to manage their health information. we launched new blog for open discussion about this research and future of healthcare. Contact: Jesper Tegner and  Imad Abugessaisa.    RecordedBody blog
