Research at the Department of Medicine, Solna
The department conducts research in a large number of areas. The research groups are located at the Karolinska University Hospital in Solna. The proximity to patients is one of the department's strengths. Conducting research in a clinical environment gives excellent opportunities to integrate basic research and patient-centered research.
The research groups are linked to the department's eleven divisions, which also correspond to our main research areas:
