Our research

Researchers at Sahlgrenska Academy want to understand how the body works, prevent illness and develop treatments. Our research ranges from experimental research on the structure of molecules and the function of cells to population studies.

Our research is at the forefront of major research fields, such as cardiovascular diseases, dentistry, gastrointestinal, metabolism, neuropsychiatry, and person-centred care.
We integrate science with patient-related issues in collaboration with healthcare.
Our close collaboration with Region Västra Götaland has given us a top position in clinical research in Sweden. Chalmers University of Technology and AstraZeneca are essential partners, as are other universities and companies.
