Infectious Diseases

The Division of Infectious Diseases conducts clinical, epidemiological and experimental research in a wide range of infections. We study tuberculosis, HIV, COVID-19, sepsis and other bacterial and healthcare associated infections, tropical infections with a focus on malaria, as well as basic immunology. The aim is to improve the diagnosis and treatment of infections and contribute to the development of vaccines and other preventive measures.

Our research and education takes place in close collaboration with Karolinska University Hospital and other healthcare units within Region Stockholm, which enables translational research in our experimental environments at BioClinicum and SciLifeLab. We also have several projects and collaborations in other parts of the world where some infections are more common.
