SysBio.se - Systems and Synthetic Biology

Systems and Synthetic Biology is headed by Professor Ivan Mijakovic and is composed of several labs directed by faculty members at the department. The lab and computational facilities are shared among all members of Systems and Synthetic Biology. The division is very international with researchers from more than 30 countries and we have as a key objective to support young reseachers in their careers. We are participants in several large research centers and in many international projects funded by the EU and other funding agencies.
The division of Systems and Synthetic Biology is part of the Department of Biology and Biological Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology.

Labs

Engqvist Lab

Our research focuses on bioinformatics and experimental high-throughput biochemical characterization of metabolic enzymes.

Hohmann Lab

We are interested in understanding and using the dynamic behavior of signal transduction pathways.

Larsson Lab

Our lab is focused on understanding the physiology and metabolic regulation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and to apply this knowledge in various metabolic engineering projects.

Mijakovic Lab

We work on signaling and regulation in bacterial cells, focusing in particular on regulatory phenomena based on protein phosphorylation.

Nielsen Lab

Our research focus is on systems biology of metabolism. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is our key organism for experimental research.

Petranovic Lab

We are combining methods of molecular and cell biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics and systems biology with the scope to study how cells regulate aging and death pathways.

Zelezniak Lab

We apply best practices of computational biology together with machine learning to understand the behavior of metabolic networks at single and multispecies levels.

SysBio core values in Nature

By Martina on January 16, 2019

Nature has just featured a correspondence piece on SysBio core values as an example of actively building a working culture based on mutual cooperation, communication and respect. “Congratulations to our Core Values Team, and all SysBio members for adopting and supporting our core values”, says Ivan Mijakovic.

Dina and Jens added: “Desired organizational culture does not occur spontaneously, it is a result of a permanent effort of the leadership and the team. In our case, we have been actively working for more than 10 years to ensure that we create and maintain the diverse culture that we can be proud of.”
