Meet Our Team

We are looking to recruit bioinformaticians and microbiologists. Please send us an inquiry if you would like to join us on our chase of human gut bacteria 

​

Masters students are welcome to contact us for thesis work! We will be happy to include you in our ongoing projects or develop tailored ones!

​

PhD and Postdoc candidates are invited to get in touch to discuss the possibility to join us with either the group's funding or to apply for independent funding!

Chinmay Dwibedi, PhD

MiMS Group leader & DDLS fellow in Biology of infection

Chinmay received his PhD in microbial genomics from Umeå University working with Francisella tularensis, Acenatobacter baumanii and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The PhD studies were conducted at the Swedish Defence Research Agency [FOI] under the mentorship of Prof. Anders Johansson [UmU], Dr. Pär Larsson and several senior scientists & Bioinformaticians at FOI.

​

Chinmay then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Gothenburg University with Prof. Fredrik Bäckhed and Prof. Anders Rosengren. In his postdoc he contributed towards the development of a next-generation probiotics involving Facalibacterium prausnitzii and Desulfovibrio piger. In other studies, he combined gut microbiota with human pathophysiology to develop tailored treatment therapies for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. He also worked on the genomic characterisation of several novel gut bacteria strains! 

​

In his free time, he likes to spend time with his family, travel and play badminton!

Deep Chanda, PhD

Postdoctoral research fellow [Kempe], Starting May 9th 2025

Deep  earned his PhD in Biotechnology from the National Institute of Technology Durgapur, in India. where he explored obesity-associated gut microbial signatures and their host interactions using metagenomics and systems biology approaches. His doctoral research, supported by a CSIR fellowship, combined multi-omics data analysis with computational modeling to uncover microbiome-driven functional shifts in metabolic disorders.

He recently authored articles in "Gut Microbes" and a network-based drug repurposing strategy in "Genes & Diseases". During his research career, Deep has  expertise in bioinformatics, gut microbiome data science, NGS pipelines, and computational systems biology. His work has earned him multiple awards for scientific presentations at international forums.

Outside the lab, Deep enjoys listening to music, spending time with his family, and hanging out with close friends. He also has a keen interest in playing and watching cricket.
