Our research group has many years of experience of working with a broad range of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI/ML) methods, mainly for medical applications. We combine fundamental method development with clinically motivated research focused on prediction and decision-making systems. Our research on AI/ML focuses on artificial neural networks and deep learning. Examples of pure

In the field of computational biophysics, we mainly study the behaviour of large molecules such as proteins, DNA and RNA. Using tools from statistical and computational physics, we construct models and investigate biomolecular processes and properties. We are particularly interested in membrane-less organelles, protein aggregation and how molecular crowding affects protein properties. The properti

Natural Nations is an Erasmus-funded project aimed at helping teachers and students understand the importance of small creatures, pollinating insects, and birds in the food web by developing guidance and protocols for surveys in the schoolyard.   The school surveys are also collected in a citizen science project. Additionally, practical advice is provided on how to improve the schoolyard for biodi

Mapping of tree species through satellite observations. Forests provide us with a wide range of ecosystem services. They include absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, providing timber and pulpwood, stabilizing the soil to reduce landslides, maintaining biodiversity, and offering opportunities for recreational activities such as hiking or camping. However, the quality and quantity of these

Our research in bionanophysics addresses questions that arise when biology meets nanophysics. In the microscopic structures created in nanofluidics, biological molecules and particles can move in unexpected or useful ways. One main direction of our research is imaging of DNA in nanochannels, a method that can rapidly provide large-scale information on the sequence and length of DNA molecules from

- optimised mass handling when waste becomes a resource Today, there is a lack of scientifically supported environmental criteria for determining when materials such as asphalt, concrete, and excavated soil from the construction sector cease to be considered waste. Every year, millions of tons of these materials are generated, which could potentially be transformed into products, providing environ

A major EU project, CLIMB-FOREST, will create a comprehensive overview of Europe's forests and forestry over a period of four and a half years. Currently, there is no compilation available that provides a complete picture of Europe's entire forest stock and the state of its forests. The goal of CLIMB-FOREST is to provide guidance to forest users and decision-makers through new tools and models. Th

We develop and analyse models of biological networks to improve our understanding of how living cells and tissues function. The models are mainly based on the interaction between different genes and proteins, for example in stem cells. Our research group works on constructing and refining computational models to describe genetic, epigenetic and metabolic networks. Such systems biology models can,

The Remote Sensing of Ecosystems research group integrates environmental science and geoinformatics to better understand spatial and temporal effects on the ecological patterns we observe and the processes that create them. We do this in part by analysing both raw remote sensing observations (such as from satellites) and remote sensing-based data (such as from drones or autonomous sensors) to quan

Sweden has an ecological footprint of approximately four Earths, which greatly exceeds nature’s ability to meet our demands sustainably. Envisioning what a new, sustainable society should look like is one important task of research, envisioning the process of getting there is another, equally important task. This seminar is on research on transitions towards climate adaptation in Sweden. The prese

Date: 17 November 2023 Time: 12:15-13:00 Place: Zoom Fast, fair and transformative societal change is necessary to curb both climate change and biodiversity loss. This transformation should include effective policies and other mechanisms to steer companies, governments and individuals, course-correcting where needed. Yet now, at the halfway mark of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, subs
