Björn Forsberg
Assistant Professor
Structural bioinformatics studies biology through data. We develop and use new tools to study cryo-EM reconstructions and data to understand molecular life.
About the research
In the lab, we use spatial filtering and metrics of local correlation to estimate the source of variation in ensemble data. We apply this directly to distinguish sources of variation in cryo-electron microscopy data, attribute it to causal mechanisms and describe molecular biology better than previously possible.
Open positions
The lab is actively recruiting on both graduate and post-graduate levels
PhD students
We are looking to recruit a PhD position to lead development on new methods to analyse 3D reconstructions of biomolecules composed using 2D electron microscopy images.

Postdoc positions
Cryo-EM processing is rapidly evolving to use machine learning. We are looking to contribute to a new and modern framework for cryo-EM processing, in collaboration with another lab.
