UCMR – Umeå Centre for Microbial Research
UCMR is located at Umeå University, the flagship university in Northern Sweden. UCMR brings together research groups at Umeå University in a wide range of fields. This includes microbial pathogenesis, molecular biology, cell biology, chemistry, clinical microbiology, structural biology, immunology, epidemiology, microbial ecology, physics, mathematics and data-driven science.
Together, UCMR establishes an inspiring and sustainable environment for microbial research at Umeå University. Today, 76 research leaders and their groups are affiliated to UCMR.
UCMR’s mission is to shape and further develop Umeå University’s environment for microbial research. The core values are excellence, interdisciplinarity and collaboration.
The way forward is to :
- Conduct and develop internationally competitive microbial research
- Offer meeting arenas to promote new synergies and collaborations
- Train the next-generation scientists and clinicians
- Overcoming and finding solutions to societal challenges posed by microbes

MIMS – the Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden
The Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS) at Umeå University is an internationally leading institute for basic infection research with a national task of linking Swedish researchers to the growing network of excellence centres of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL). Tackling current infection challenges relies crucially on effective integration of basic science and clinical practice in the context of international co-operation. Our vision is for MIMS to capitalize on its unique strengths and network to help Swedish infection researchers meet these challenges.
