Björn Nystedt

I work as a manager of the NBIS support team fokusing on areas including Microbiology, Infection Biology, and Structural biology, providing advanced bioinformatics support and training to the Swedish life science research community. Our work includes consultation, hands-on support and postgraduate training in a diverse range of areas such as metagenomics, microbiology, metabolomics, Cryo-EM data processing, protein structure prediction, workflow management systems and machine learning. We are engaged in the SciLifeLab & Wallenberg National Program for Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS), by providing bioinformatics support within the DDLS Epidemiology and Biology of Infections research area.

Previous research experience: I have a PhD in Molecular evolution (2009). My previous research span genome assembly and comparative genomics in a wide range of organisms, from small bacteria to giant conifer genomes.
