Welcome to Molecular Medicine, Department of Medical Sciences

 Group Picture

The research group in Molecular Medicine headed by Professor Ann-Christine Syvänen was started in 1998. The group studies human diseases using modern technology for genomics.

Professor Syvänen also heads the SNP&SEQ Technology Platform that offers genotyping and next generation sequencing services and training to academic researchers. The SNP&SEQ Technology Platform is also a part of the genomics platform of Science for Life Laboratory in Uppsala.

We co-organize courses in molecular medicine and massively parallel sequencing targeted at students of different levels.

A good overview of our group can be read in a recent EU-publication

Use the tab-menu above to view information about our research, courses and services.
