Teaching within the biology programmes at Stockholm University is closely connected to cutting-edge research. Our teachers are active scientists who explore the mechanisms of life at many different levels, investigating genes and cells, studying plants and animals, and analysing the dynamics of ecosystems and environmental change.

Below you can find the departments and centres where this research takes place, read more about their scientific focus areas, and learn how to contact the researchers.

Researchers at the Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences (DEEP) study how living organisms interact with each other and with their environments, from molecular and physiological processes in plants to the dynamics of entire ecosystems on land and in the sea. The research covers areas such as ecology, evolution, marine biology, environmental science, and plant sciences, with a strong focus on biodiversity, sustainability, and the effects of climate change.

Researchers at MBW explore the molecular mechanisms that underpin life, health, and disease. Their work focuses on areas such as infection and immunobiology, molecular cell biology, and integrative biology, seeking to understand how cells communicate, how organisms develop, and how biological systems maintain balance and adapt.

Here you can read about the research at the Department of Molecular Biosciences, The Wenner-Gren Institute (MBW), and find contact information for researchers and staff.

At the Department of Zoology, research aims to understand the diversity of animal life and the processes that shape it. Scientists investigate evolution, ecology, genetics, physiology, and animal behaviour, combining experimental, theoretical, and field-based approaches to gain insight into how animals live, adapt, and evolve.

Here you will find information about research at the Department of Zoology and contact details for researchers and other staff.

At the Stockholm Resilience Centre, researchers focus on the intertwined relationships between people and nature, studying how societies and ecosystems co-evolve, how we can live sustainably on a changing planet, and how resilience thinking can guide transformations toward just and viable futures.
