Molecular Cell Biology

Within this research area, we study cellular processes in eukaryotic cells as well as in archaea. The aim is to, at the molecular level, characterize the components that participate in basic processes and understand how these processes work, and understand how the cellular processes influence the organism as a whole.

The following research groups work within this research area:

Claes Andréasson
Molecular chaperones, protein folding, synthesis and degradation

Rolf Bernander
Cell cycle regulation in arhaea

Dag Jenssen
DNA repair

Roger Karlsson
Cell motility and the microfilament system

Per Ljungdahl
Nutrient sensing and polytopic membrane protein biogenesis

Neus Visa
Quality control of mRNA biogenesis and chromatin structure in eukaryotes

Lars Wieslander
Biogenesis of mRNA and rRNA in eukaryotes

Andrzej Wojcik
Radiation biology

Marie Öhman
RNA editing in mammalian organisms especially the brain

Ann-Kristin Östlund-Farrants
Chromatin remodelling and RNA processing in eukaryotes
