What kind of research are we doing?
OUR RESEARCH
To popular science in Swedish about our research
Genome engineering zebrafish national facility
The department of organismal biology harbours the SciLifeLab Zebrafish Facility.
LINNEAN CENTRE FOR PLANT BIOLOGY IN UPPSALA (LCPU)
The Linnean Centre is a centre of excellence uniting plant research in Uppsala.
UPPSALA CENTRE FOR EVOLUTION AND GENOMICS
Uppsala Centre for Evolution and Genomics, UCEG, is a collaborative effort to better understand organismal evolution. We study the natural diversity of living organisms at progressively higher levels of evolution from populations to species to phyla.
Are you aiming for a PhD?
As a graduate student, you get training in a scientific approach to the world around you, and you will learn and practice how to think critically and analytically. Moreover, you will independently and together with colleagues solve scientific problems and also you receive training in research ethics as well as pedagogy. If you are interested to start graduate studies, contact the research program that you are interested in. You can also contact the director of postgraduate studies, if you want to know more about how to become a PhD student, and about which topics and research tasks that may exist.
Popular science presentations
We have put together a couple of short presentations in a popular science format that will give the non-scientist some insight into organismal biology. Our intention is to inspire interest into the biology subject and to provide a brief introduction to our research.
The Wallenberg foundation has also made a film about evolution featuring research from our department. Watch it here.
