Welcome to KBC


CafeteriaSix departments and two research units at Umeå university (UmU) and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) are forming one large multidisciplinary research centre: The Chemical Biological Centre (KBC- Kemiskt Biologiskt Centrum). Around 600 people are collaborating in a positive and creative environment in research and teaching. The KBC research school is organizing a graduate program for around 250 PhD students and each department offers a large varity of courses for bachelor and master students.

Metabolomics

Although the departments are administratively independent, they have the ambition to share resources (technical platforms) and build up tight networks between the departments to overcome the borders of faculties and universities. To support this development the university has appointed the KBC Group led by a scientific coordinator, professor Per Gardeström. The group is meeting once a month and coordinating the activities at KBC.  The aim is to develop KBC into a world leading research and teaching environment.


To read more about the research projects and research groups, please, visit the webpages of the individual departments.

Positive KBC evaluation
News

After five years of support from Umeå University the Chemical Biological Centre, KBC, has recently been externally evaluated. The evaluation committee, Stefan Nordlund and Susanne Widell, consider KBC to be very successful and recommend to Umeå University and the three contributing faculties a continuation of the financial support. "KBC contributes strongly to the university's success and visibility in the natural sciences", the evaluators say in their report.
