Research


Our research focuses on major diseases and severe medical conditions to develop medical technologies for better diagnosis and treatment. 

Research programmes

Each research area comprises one or more research programmes. The programmes can cover prevention, diagnosis, and therapy. The research programmes are established after the senior managers of the major hospitals and primary care have indicated their needs and when Karolinska Institutet and KTH have confirmed research interest and competence.

Research leaders

MedTechLabs has over 20 research leaders who are affiliated to the centre. Each program is led by both on Program Director from KI and one from KTH.
