The organic chemistry group

We perform research within "Metabolomics" and "Biomolecules structure and interactions". We host the NMR and MS platforms at SLU-Uppsala and are providing expertise to many projects. Our NMR platform is the metabolomics node of the national NMR research infrastructure SwedNMR involving 10 universities and supported by the national research council VR-RFI.
