SciLifeLab, Science for Life Laboratory, is a Swedish research center within molecular biosciences with focus on health and environment. Being a joint effort by four Swedish universities (Karolinska Institutet, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm University and Uppsala University) the center offers a cross-disciplinary research setting that interacts with healthcare, public agencies and industry to meet the need for new clinical methods and a better environment. Founded in 2010, the center today encompasses more than 1 200 researchers mainly located in and around the two center nodes in Stockholm and Uppsala. SciLifeLab is also a Swedish national center with the mission to develop, use and provide advanced technologies for applications in health and environmental research. The center infrastructure encompasses a multitude of biomolecular technologies and bioinformatics services. National funding makes SciLifeLab’s services and expertise available to researchers in all of Sweden.
