Welcome to the Functional Plant Biology Group based at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. Trondheim is the 3rd largest city in Norway with around 200 000 inhabitants and approximately 40 000 students. The airport Værnes provides direct local and international connections to Stockholm, Oslo, London, Reykjavik, Amsterdam while being connected to the city centre through a smoothly running bus service.  We belong to the Institute of Biology, where  38 permanent academics, around 100 PhD students and postdocs as well as another 30 engineers and administrators perform teaching and research in areas ranging from ecotoxicology of polar bears to population dynamics and evolution of sparrow populations. Within the institute we are part of the recently formed multi scale biology group formed by 8 academics with their respective research groups of altogether around 40 MSc/PhD students, postdocs and engineers. The group is investigating various topics ranging from the single cell to the ecosystem level and is based on the Gløshaugen campus close to the centre of town and the university hospital St. Olaf´s. This location also provides easy access to centralized service facilities like the NT faculty metabolomics centre, the genomics core facility and the proteomics resources located in the vicinity.

Please feel free to browse our website and do not hesitate to get in touch with questions or if you are interested in joining the research group.
