New nano-weapon against resistant bacteria

Nanoparticles coated with graphene flakes and antibiotics. This antibacterial nano-weapon is the goal of a new Nordic research project. The project aims to deliver the next generation of treatments...

Using AI and supercomputers, researchers have discovered reoccurring patterns and combinations, known as ‘motifs’, of the four m

How genetic motifs conduct "the music of life"

Our genetic codes control not only which proteins our cells produce, but also in what quantity. This ground-breaking discovery, applicable to all biological life, was recently made by systems biologists...

Cow’s milk while breastfeeding reduces allergy risk

Children of mothers who drink relatively more cow's milk during breastfeeding are at reduced risk of developing food allergies. That is the conclusion of a new study from researchers from Chalmers...

Chalmers contributes to a sustainable food sector

Through three new national centres − FINEST, PAN Sweden and BLUE FOOD − Chalmers researchers will be involved in research and development of new solutions for a more sustainable food sector.

Food and Nutrition Science Lab

Food and Nutrition Science

The division of Food and Nutrition Science focus on nutritional solutions for disease prevention by studies on the molecular, cellular, and whole-body level.

Industrial Biotechnology

In Industrial Biotechnology we work with the use of biotechnology to produce chemicals, materials and energy, which means products that affect people living in nutrition and health, energy and materials.

SysBio lab

Systems and Synthetic Biology

Systems and Synthetic Biology is a multidisciplinary research field in which chemists, mathematicians, biologists and engineers work together with the aim to decipher the function of living cells.

Chemical Biology Lab

Chemical Biology

In the department Chemical Biology, we focus on how proteins and other biological macromolecules work in their cellular environments.

Department of Biology and Biological Engineering

1 January 2015 Chalmers started a new department with world-leading research in the field of biotechnology – Department of Biology and Biological Engineering. The interest in research and education in biotechnology has grown strong in recent years both in Sweden and globally. With the new department Chalmers is further strengthening its position in terms of medical research, development of healthy foods and of sustainable fuels for the future. The growing division today has almost 200 employees and affiliated researchers, it consists of four divisions and is led by Head of department Stefan Hohmann.
