Core facilities for research

The managing organisation for all aspects of animal experimentation in research at Karolinska Institutet is Comparative Medicine. Our scientists also have access to animal facilities managed by the Karolinska University Hospital.

Karolinska Institutet has globally unique resources in biobanking and longitudinal cohorts, as well as expanding competence in biostatistics. This puts our university at the frontline of medical epidemiological research in an international perspective.

Karolinska Institutet collaborates closely with the healthcare sector, mainly in the Stockholm county area. Here we present clinical and translational research infrastructures, as well as different kinds of laboratory resources, including BSL-3.

Karolinska Institutet offers a wide range of imaging infrastructures. Our facilities collaborate closely with other world-leading centres to ensure that we stay in the front-line of the field.

Facilities and resources within proteomics and genomics and related techniques, including single cell analysis, located at our two main campuses. Several of the listed core facilities are also a part of the national research facility SciLifeLab.

Cutting edge fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) technologies are mandatory elements in the toolbox of a leading medical university. Karolinska Institutet also provide state of the art iPS technology, and platforms for material engineering.

The Swedish Research Council supports a number of national and international infrastructures, providing researchers with the facilities for carrying out research of the highest quality.

SciLifeLab is a national centre for cutting-edge molecular biosciences, with its Stockholm hub located at the border of KI's north campus area. Here is a list of core facilities that the centre offers.
