About our organisation

Basic and advanced courses

The department participates primarily in the education of the engineering programme in molecular biotechnology, bachelor programme in biology, master's programmes in biology and applied biotechnology, but also in many other programmes and courses within and outside the faculty. See more at the biology education centre - IBG.

Graduate students are admitted to all the research and all services are advertised through the Uppsala university's job portal. ICM has about 70 students.

The department is organised into seven major programmes: Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Molecular Biophysics, Molecular Evolution, Molecular Systems Biology and Structural Biology.
The research is funded by a grant from a large number of external contributors.

Within these seven programmes are several research groups working: Overview of our research groups.
