The Institute of Biomedicine is involved in both research and education. In both of these areas, we focus on fundamental knowledge of the living cell – what it consists of, how it works, how its function is directed by the genetic material, and how it interacts
with various kinds of micro-organisms. Using this knowledge, we try to elucidate the causes of diseases, and find new ways to diagnose and treat them.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; font-size: 0.8125rem !important; line-height: 19.5px;" class="">

The research group has recently found that the vast majority of viruses have highly optimized genomes. This optimization is very species-specific and is called genomic signatures. The aim of the group is to take advantage of these genomic signatures to develop
new methods for the optimization of viral vectors, and attenuation of viruses. Another aim is to develop a platform for non-homologue classification of pathogens. The research group has close collaboration with pre-clinical and clinical researchers at Sahlgrenska
Hospital, and with computer scientists at Chalmers University of Technology.</p>
