About us

You can find us out in the field digging holes with big shovels or pipetting like there is no tomorrow in the lab. We investigate how microorganisms like fungi and bacteria interact with the environment. The Department is part of Biocentrum Ultuna at SLU in Uppsala.

Collaboration

Collaboration and continuous dialogue with stakeholders and the public is the foundation for our research. Our field pathologist and forest and tree mycologist are always in dialogue with the surrounding community.
