Biography

Anders Andersson received his PhD in 2005 from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, focusing on functional genomics of archaea. Following his doctoral studies, he conducted postdoctoral research at prominent institutions including the Karolinska Institute, University of California, Berkeley, and Uppsala University. His research specializes in metagenomics approaches to study microbial communities across various environments, such as the human gut microbiota, acidic biofilms, and marine plankton communities. In 2010, Andersson returned to KTH to establish his research group, the Environmental Genomics Science Life Laboratory, where he serves as a professor. His group is dedicated to developing and applying molecular bioinformatics methods for studying microbes and microbiomes in natural environments. They have a strong focus on microbial ecology and evolution, utilizing meta-omics data to understand ecosystem function and the regulation and evolution of microbial populations. A significant aspect of their research involves studying the Baltic Sea ecosystem and other animal-associated engineered ecosystems. Moreover, Andersson coordinates initiatives related to molecular data as part of the Swedish Biodiversity Data Infrastructure.
