Research at the division of biology covers all aspects of life science, from subcellular molecular processes, via organisms to whole ecosystems.

The Nucleic Acids Technologies Lab explores the use of nucleic acids as biorecognition molecules to develop highly specific and sensitive systems, with various detection modalities.

Humans rely on crop plants for food, medicine, clothing and many other functions. The Hagenblad lab studies how crop plants have spread across the world and how they have adapted to different climates and cultivation methods.

Research in our group focuses on two fascinating biological phenomena – ageing and sex differences - and their interesting intersection. To answer questions related to these topics we conduct research using the model organism Drosophila melanogaster.

Researchers at Linköping University have found that wild-growing caraway, with its genetic diversity and adaptation to the Nordic climate, could play a crucial role in future spice cultivation as climate change progresses.

Christina's research focuses on how behaviour influences the lives of animals. Her studies examine the development and evolution of behaviour over time, and how factors such as social environment, physiology, climate, and habitat impact behaviour.

LiU-researcher Frank Hernandez has received a grant for his research in designing antibiotics that can be administered with precision. It is one of 23 approved grants by The Swedish Research Council (VR) that focuses on antimicrobial resistance.

In this article, the researchers conducted a genetic analysis of archaeological barley grains from Gran Canaria, examining the changes in a single cultivated population over 1400 years.
