About the Centre for Metastasis Research (CMR)

The centre provides a platform for collaboration between basic scientists, translational researchers and clinicians across Karolinska Institutet, Karolinska University Hospital and international partner institutions.

Research activities span the entire translational continuum—from fundamental studies of tumor biology and cancer cell plasticity to biomarker discovery, preclinical models, clinical studies and implementation of novel therapeutic strategies.

CMR serves as a focal point for collaborative projects, educational activities, scientific meetings and strategic initiatives aimed at strengthening metastasis research nationally and internationally.

Vision

Our vision is to establish Karolinska Institutet as a leading international hub for metastasis research and translational oncology. 

By integrating fundamental discovery science with clinical expertise and global partnerships, CMR seeks to improve outcomes for patients affected by metastatic cancer and contribute to the development of the next generation of precision cancer therapies.
