Research at CNS
The Department of Clinical neuroscience comprises about 70 research groups within a broad field - from the molecular level to the societal level, within several disciplines and employing a range of methods.
Many of these research groups are closely interactive with patients, predominantly at Karolinska University hospital, St. Görans hospital and St. Eriks Eye hospital.
