Biorecognition

We are interested in the molecular mechanisms behind biomolecular recognition and functional response.

The Biorecognition group is divided into four labs. Please visit the lab pages to learn more about our research.

Improving services of EU-Openscreen

Funding for work on Ribotacs

As part of a consortium lead by the EU-Openscreen head office with the overall goal to improve the services offered by EU-Openscreen, the Brenk group has got funding to work on Ribotacs. Ribotacs are small molecules that selectively bind RNAs and a RNAse and thus lead targeted RNA degradation. We...

Research project

New mental health project aims to uncover insulin-related mechanisms linking disorders of body and brain.

An important European-funded initiative has been launched to explore how common molecular mechanisms may link metabolic disorders, especially type 2 diabetes and obesity, with brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and autism spectrum disorders. Jan Haavik and...
