The Center for Infectious Medicine (CIM) operates within the Department of Medicine, Huddinge (MedH) at Karolinska Institutet, Campus Flemingsberg. The research at CIM is focused around studies of the human immune system and infection-immunity in humans. The unit comprises a translational research laboratory that bridges basic science and clinical application, as well as a subunit dedicated to clinical infectious diseases.
