Chalmers recruits systems biologist Jens Nielsen

Chalmers makes a large investment into life sciences by recruiting professors in systems biology and bioprocess technology.The engineering science at Chalmers is entering a biological era with the purpose of learning more about nature's own technologies for building the molecular networks of biology.

This emerging field, Systems Biology, aims at finding new treatments for diseases and improving existing and creating new industrial processes.

On March 14, Professor Jens Nielsen was recruited to Chalmers from the Technical University of Denmark, DTU. The recruitment is part of a large investment into a new research area - Quantitative Systems Biology. Nielsen is presently head of the Centre for Microbial Biotechnology at DTU.

At the same time, Professor Lisbeth Olsson is recruited from the DTU centre. Olsson is an expert on bioprocess technology and is expected to be an important link to Swedish industry, particularly in the energy, pharmaceutical and food sectors.
