We are a national research infrastructure, funded by the Swedish government, that makes advanced instruments and expertise available to all researchers in Sweden.

As a national hub for molecular biosciences in Sweden, SciLifeLab develops and maintains unique research infrastructure, services and data resources for life science. We coordinate research communities in health and environmental science, recruitment and training of young scientists, and fosters collaboration with industry, health care, public research organizations and international partners.

The overall aim of SciLifeLab is to facilitate cutting-edge, multi-disciplinary life science research and promote its translation to the benefit of society.

SciLifeLab was established in 2010 and appointed a national center in 2013 by the Swedish government. Four additional sites - Lund, Gothenburg, Linköping and Umeå - were appointed in 2021 in addition to the original two sites in Stockholm and Uppsala.
