Project Offers
IBG works in several ways to stimulate students themselves to create, develop and maintain relevant contacts with work-life. One part of this effort is to help you as a student to find suitable projects for research internships, degree projects, PhD positions, etc. In the project database we publish project offers from academia, corporations and government agencies. We sometimes also announce different career promoting events of a more general nature. The sub page "Want to know more?" below also has permanent links to external resources that may be valuable to help find additional projects, etc.
View all the present projects further down the page!
Some projects are described in English; others in Swedish. The current offers are listed below. Older, archived offers can be found via the link on the right.
We are supported by the Kjell and Märta Beijer Foundation and collaborate in various ways with the Beijer Laboratories in Uppsala; with its three subsections: Beijer Laboratory for Gene and Neuro Research, Beijer Laboratory for Drug Discovery and Beijer Laboratory for Animal Science.
Support and collaboration applies also to EIT Health, an extensive EU spanning network aimed at technology, innovation and entrepreneurship within different parts of the health sector, as well as at active ageing. EIT Health at Uppsala university continually arrange various courses and events of interest to you as a student, but they are also able to lend support if you have specific innovative ideas that you want to substantiate and develop.

Research training/internship on explaining MD molecular modeling data of Rubisco, BMC
Here is a great chance to take part in a project ultimately meant to better understand the kinetic properties of Rubisco, its detailed enzymatic mechanisms and what parts of Rubisco that are the most conserved. Hopefully this may lead to better strategies of engineering Rubisco to enhance its capacity to fix CO2. To achieve this you will (i) perform extensive literature searches and compile a database of published Rubisco mutations as well as how they affect enzyme solubility and kinetic performance, (ii) perform sequence-structure alignments to "normalise" residue numbering between Rubiscos from different species, and (iii) compare your new Rubisco mutagenic database with recently obtained and interesting but yet unexplained MD modeling data.
Paving the way for enhanced Rubisco CO2-fixation

PhD on "Microclimatic impacts on Arctic biodiversity", SLU
Over the next few decades, the climate of the Arctic is predicted to change faster than for any other biome. Thus, there is a need to explore how arctic landscapes are currently warming, and how species distributions are likely to shift with a changing climate. By studying the impact of anthropogenic warming on the most diverse component of Arctic biodiversity, the arthropods, it will be possible to develop more general scenarios of future ecosystem changes.

Master thesis: Finding a possible cure for an intractable cancer form
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a hematological disorder where expansion of mutated HSCs cause impaired hematopoiesis and consequent decrease in peripheral blood cells. MDS frequently progresses to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with poor outcome. Today, the only curative treatment for MDS is bone marrow transplantation. In this degree project you will get the chance to characterize two novel tumor suppressors that hopefully also have the potential of being developed for cancer treatment. As an alternative, you may be able to do a long project course on the same subject.

PhD on recombination and plant genome evolution, Rennes, France
Recombination allows genetic mixing during meiosis, thus increasing genetic diversity and the efficacy of selection. In many species, the breaks where recombination occurs are biased towards G and C nucleotides, which leads to apparent selection for GC (a.k.a. GC-biased gene conversion, gBGC). gBGC enriches genomes in G and C and can counteract natural selection. Characterizing recombination patterns and their consequences is thus crucial to understand genome evolution and how species respond to selection and adapt to their environment.

Antibiotics as environmental pollutants; master degree project or internship/research training
The main question to be answered within this project relates to the adverse effects that excessive amounts of antibiotics in the environment may have: do environmental anthropogenic antibiotics affect the intestinal microbiota of aquatic animals, e.g. freshwater crayfish, and thereby their susceptibility to different diseases? The factors driving the high risk of extinction among organisms in freshwater ecosystems are diverse and in great need of further scrutiny.
