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. Fields for the Future Genomics and proteomics Drug research Neuroscience, cognition and behaviour Sythetic biology … etc. Centres of excellence and major strategic ventures Human Protein Atlas Science for Life Laboratory Uppsala Uppsala RNA Research Centre (URRC) Lakes & climate change Uppsala Centre for Evolution and Genomics (UCEG) Structure determination Developing new antibiotics Cancer U-CAN 1940 1960 1980 2000 Source: CIND, 2011.
