Bioinformatics (BIOIN)

The research at the Bioinformatics division is focused on development of methods to analyse and understand biological data.

Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary research area combining physics, chemistry, and biology with computer science, statistics, and mathematics.

At the unit of Theoretical chemistry, headed by Bo Durbeej, research is carried out with the aim to solve a variety of chemical problems with methods rooted in quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics.

Modeling predicted link between gene and rheumatic problems

Study showes that a specific gene influences how cells move, and that it can therefore cause rheumatic diseases. LiU-researchers contributed to this by predicting the gene’s impact on cells. Now there is hope that this could lead to new treatments.

Diplomas to New Docents at TekFak

Thirteen researchers at Linköping University have advanced in their academic careers by becoming associate professors (docents) at the Faculty of Science and Engineering.

Improving Alphafold to predict very large proteins

The AI tool Alphafold has been improved so that it can now predict the shape of very large and complex protein structures. Linköping University researchers have also succeeded in integrating experimental data into the tool.
