Research at the Department of Clinical Science, Intervention and Technology
All divisions at the department collaborate with clinics in the healthcare organisation within Region Stockholm
Research at CLINTEC
Our research is conducted in close collaboration with clinics at Karolinska University Hospital and at laboratories affiliated with them.
The research groups at CLINTEC also have an extensive network and collaborate with other institutions at Karolinska Institutet, both at Karolinska University Hospital and at Campus Solna. Our key partners also include Stockholm University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and GIH.
CLINTEC currently employs around 20 professors, 10 senior lecturers, approximately 20 lecturers and a large number of researchers, research assistants and doctoral students. Many researchers and doctoral students are also affiliated with CLINTEC through their research, but are employed by Region Stockholm. The close collaboration between Karolinska Institutet and Region Stockholm is a crucial prerequisite for successful clinical research.
The research at CLINTEC is multidisciplinary and spans many medical fields – from morphology, biochemistry, physiology and pharmacology to technology, epidemiology and behavioural science. It encompasses both clinical applications and more fundamental clinically oriented research. Overall, the research can be described as clinically and translationally oriented, often with a focus on humans, although experimental and comparative studies are also included.
