Science for Life Laboratory

SciLifeLab is a national resource of unique technologies and expertise available to life scientists, closely intertwined with our community of researchers in areas such as biomedicine, ecology and evolution. We bring scientists together across traditional boundaries and foster collaborations with industry, health care, public research organizations and international partners.

Explore our infrastructure

At SciLifeLab, we provide access to a range of pioneering technologies in molecular biosciences. Together, our capabilities enable the scientific endeavours of users from academia, industry and health care. Dedicated staff scientists can offer support throughout the experimental process – from study design to data handling.

  • Genomics

    Genomics

    Genomics is the investigation of DNA and RNA to advance biology, medicine, healthcare, biotechnology, archaeology and other fields

  • Proteomics

    Proteomics

    Proteomics is the large-scale investigation of proteins expressed by any organism and includes the study of structures, interactions, and functions.

  • Metabolomics and Exposomics

    Metabolomics and Exposomics

    Metabolomics and exposomics measure the changes in metabolite levels (metabolomics) or exposures to external stimuli (exposomics).

  • Spatial Omics

    Spatial Omics

    Highly multiplexed Immunofluorescence with Akoya Phenocycler or Lunaphore COMET. Low-moderate plex immunofluorescence with Phenocode, Opal or SPYRE

  • Cellular and Molecular Imaging

    Cellular and Molecular Imaging

    Cellular and molecular imaging enables the visualization of biological systems, from the atomistic to the tissue levels.

  • Structural Biology

    Structural Biology

    Structural Biology comprises studies of proteins and nucleic acids and other biomolecules, how they interact and appear in solution

  • Chemical Biology and Genome Engineering

    Chemical Biology and Genome Engineering

    Chemical and genetic perturbation to explore biology, as well as follow-up studies to transform phenotypic observation into mechanistic insight

  • Drug Discovery

    Drug Discovery

    Generates small-molecule, antibody and oligonucleotide leads for further progression into therapeutic applications and support with target product profiling and safety assessment of the future drug.

  • Bioinformatics

    Bioinformatics

    Bioinformatics combines biology, computing, and data analysis to interpret biological data across all life science domains, for research, medicine, and biotechnology advancements.

Capabilities

The foundation of SciLifeLab rests on three pillars: state of the art research infrastructure, a community of world-class researchers, and an extensive Data-Driven Life Science program (DDLS).

Planetary Biology

By combining SciLifeLab infrastructure, and the data-driven life science approach with a focus on planetary biology, the capability will create opportunities with a strong impact on ecosystem science.

Precision Medicine

SciLifeLab aims to bring cutting-edge technologies, first-class expertise and data infrastructure to build the foundation of tomorrow’s Precision Medicine.

Pandemic Laboratory Preparedness

SciLifeLab has been commissioned by the government to build laboratory capacity to assist in future pandemics (program 2021-2024, in total 130 MSEK).

News highlights

Research at SciLifeLab

At SciLifeLab, no research group is an island. We live by collaboration and gather scientists in a broad range of molecular bioscience research, from health to environmental research, in order to facilitate multidisciplinary studies and networking.

A number of research constellations and initiatives makes up our scientific community, such as the more than 200 affiliated academic research groups, the SciLifeLab Fellows program, Data-driven life science, and lately also a national research program targeting Covid-19.

There’s a truly symbiotic relationship existing with our infrastructure. Our units provide access to the latest biomolecular technologies and expertise to bring research projects to the next level, whilst researchers using our services can team up with our dedicated staff scientists to propel technology development and really push the limit of what is possible in life science.
