Department of Translational Medicine

About the department

We are present in point-of-care environments in Skåne University Hospital in central Malmö. Parts of our organisation are located at the Clinical Research Centre (CRC) and the Wallenberg laboratory. CRC is a modern prize-winning facility for research, education and healthcare on the hospital campus in Malmö. Environments nearby are home to Malmö University and the Medeon research park.

We have a longstanding and thoroughly established presence in the university healthcare of Region Skåne and a close collaboration with other parts of Region Skåne (which is responsible for all public healthcare in Skåne).

The department offers research studies and participates in various ways in the faculty’s medical degree programme.

We cooperate with wider society through networks and collaborations, often with an interdisciplinary and interprofessional focus. Public authorities, county councils/regions, municipalities, the pharmaceutical industry and other private stakeholders in Sweden and internationally are part of our collaborative network.
