The Biocentre offers state-of-the-art infrastructure, including equipment for microscopy, metabolomics and molecular biology, as well as access to additional research infrastructure in molecular biosciences through SciLifeLab (https://www.scilifelab.se)

We collaborate with other departments at SLU, but also nationally and internationally with several strong research centres. Through our research and environmental analysis, we contribute with new socially relevant knowledge about how aquatic ecosystems change and what causes the changes.

SLU is a leading Nordic centre for ecological research and offers a dynamic and strong research environment with access to modern infrastructure, including field research stations and research vessels. SLU's faculty-wide initiatives create opportunities for multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research.
