Research
- We study gene flow from Neandertals and Denisovans into modern humans. In
addition, we are interested in genetic variability and the functional
consequences thereof, particularly for membrane-bound proteins such as
receptors and ion channels. Other topics of interest include the genetic
predisposition to infectious diseases, such as COVID-19 (see
https://swecovid.org/ [1]).
The Zeberg laboratory is pleased to consider applications from prospective
master- and PhD students, particularly keen experimentalists.
Group members: Richard Ågren, Kristoffer Sahlholm, Hugh Robinson
