About the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology

Welcome to the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology!
Greetings from the head of department Bengt Persson.
Welcome to the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology (ICM), one of the most international, broad and distinguished biomolecular departments in Europe. European master and doctoral students recently ranked Uppsala University first in biology and second in chemistry.
Our research interests, ranging all the way from cell biology down to biophysics of single molecules, are divided into seven specialty programmes. Did you know that:
- The working language in our lab is English
- We are Scandinavia's oldest university
- We border a forest
- We are only a 30-minute drive from Stockholm’s main airport, Arlanda
We hope you visit us soon!
Warm regards,
Bengt Persson
Head of the Department
