The research staff at CLINTEC is currently composed of 28 professors, 20 senior lecturers, 20 lecturers and a number of researchers, research assistants, postgraduates and PhD candidates. On top of this, many researchers and postgraduates employed by the Region Stockholm County are linked to CLINTEC for their research. The close coordination that exists between KI and the Region Stockholm is vital to the success of the research conducted in the clinical areas.

CLINTEC:s research is multidisciplinary and conducted in varied medical fields and a broad range of medical research is represented. From morphology, biochemistry, physiology and pharmacology, to technology, epidemiology and behavioural science as well as all clinical applications and purely clinical-orientated research. A general description of CLINTECs research field is therefore clinically and translationally orientated research in humans. Experimental and comparative studies are also represented. For a more detailed description, see each units own accounts of their research activities. This will also give an idea of the directions that research will be taking in the immediate.
