Marcus Wilhelmsson

Full Professor at Chemistry and Biochemistry

The Wilhelmsson group designs fluorescent base analogues for DNA and RNA. The research aims at developing molecules and methods that facilitate investigations of structure and dynamics of nucleic acids as well as their interactions with proteins and associated conformational changes. Using this novel toolbox the understanding regarding vital cellular processes like e.g. replication, transcription, gene regulation, RNA folding and cellular uptake of RNA-based therapeutics will increase. Marcus Wilhelmsson is the founder of the conference FB3 and of the company LanteRNA. More info about Wilhelmsson group here.
