Providing capabilities for life science
SciLifeLab is an institution for the advancement of molecular biosciences in Sweden, funded as a national research infrastructure by the Swedish government.
SciLifeLab leverages the unique strengths of individual researchers across Sweden into a focused resource for the life science community. It provides thousands of researchers access to the cutting-edge instrumentation and deep scientific expertise necessary to be internationally competitive in bioscience research. The resources are supported and developed by SciLifeLab’s research community. An example is the Human Protein Atlas, an open access resource covering all human proteins, powered by researchers for researchers.
In short
SciLifeLab started out in 2010 as a joint effort between four universities: Karolinska Institutet, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm University and Uppsala University. Today, we support research activities across all major Swedish universities, with official SciLifeLab sites in Linköping, Lund, Gothenburg, Stockholm, Umeå and Uppsala.
We also collaborate with healthcare, industry, other governmental agencies and international organizations.
