Research in medicine, pharmacy and health
Our two faculties conduct research with both breadth and edge. The research is about alleviating, healing and curing diseases and developing new medicines that help people not only survive but also live their lives to the fullest. Simply put, vital research.
Stategic Research Areas (SFOs)
We manage several of Sweden’s Strategic Research Areas (SFOs), ranging from cancer and healthcare sciences to molecular biosciences.
Research infrastructures
Research infrastructures are the tools that researchers use in their work – from advanced laboratories to research stations and computing capacity.
Centres
The Disciplinary Domain of Medicine and Pharmacy has several centres in medicine, pharmacy and health – environments where researchers meet across disciplinary boundaries to develop ideas and pursue initiatives that fall outside the scope of individual departments.

Doctoral studies
As a doctoral student, you will develop into an independent researcher, ready to tackle complex tasks in academia, industry, healthcare and government.
Research challenges
Our goal is to conduct research of the highest quality and relevance. Through challenge-driven research with a focus on society, we can contribute to solutions for significant societal issues.
Research at our departments
Every day, researchers at our departments break new ground in various fields. Our research is among the best in the world.
Animal experiments
We constantly strive to find alternative methods that refine, reduce the need for, or entirely replace animal experiments. We use animal experiments only when they are scientifically justified, and no alternative methods exist. We then follow strict legislation and ethical review procedures.
