  11. World-Class BIO Research Biology/Biotech/Bioinf/Biomed finds its strength in breadth and interdisciplinarity. A recent comprehensive research assessment graded 50 research groups as “world leading” and 100 groups “of high international standard” – several of these were within Biology and related fields. BIO in Uppsala was awarded a CHE excellence ranking 2010. Several large strategic, long-term research grants have in recent years gone to Biology and related interdisciplinary areas.

  12. Fields for the Future Genomicsand proteomics Drug research Neuroscience, cognition and behaviour Sythetic biology … etc.
