Research

Research is one of Karolinska's core missions, with a focus on patient-oriented clinical research. Research is carried out in the care units at the hospital and in research facilities on the hospital premises.
Core facilities

Bio Clinicum

BioClinicum poses a hub for pre-clinical and clinical research with almost 100 research groups working within the same building.

TRACK

As a translational research hub, TRACK narrows the gap between preclinical and clinical research to accelerate medical advances.
