Services provided by our national research 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.
Regardless of your particular field of work, you are welcome to seek support from units at SciLifeLab. Most of our technologies are agnostic to applications, meaning they can be used to address questions in a range of life science disciplines, e.g. precision medicine, ecosystem surveillance and evolutionary biology.
Curious about cost and prioritization models and waiting times for analyses? These differ between units – please get in touch directly with your unit of interest for more information.

-
Genomics
Genomics is the investigation of DNA and RNA to advance biology, medicine, healthcare, biotechnology, archaeology and other fields
-
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 measure the changes in metabolite levels (metabolomics) or exposures to external stimuli (exposomics).
-
Spatial Omics
Spatial omics integrates multiple omic data types, such as transcriptomics, proteomics, and mass spectrometry, to map molecular profiles within intact tissues at high resolution.
-
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 comprises studies of proteins and nucleic acids and other biomolecules, how they interact and appear in solution
-
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
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 combines biology, computing, and data analysis to interpret biological data across all life science domains, for research, medicine, and biotechnology advancements.

Human Protein Atlas (HPA)
The Human Protein Atlas is one of several major research resources originating at SciLifeLab. Established in 2003, HPA’s mission is to map all human proteins across cells, tissues, and organs using diverse omics technologies, including antibody-based imaging, mass spectrometry proteomics, transcriptomics, and systems biology. As an open-access initiative, Human Protein Atlas has been selected by ELIXIR, as a core research infrastructure in Europe.
By the numbers
Users across sectors
In 2024, SciLifeLab served about 1,900 unique users. 22% of the users were based in healthcare, industry and other governmental agencies. The remaining portion were based in academia.
Academic users
As SciLifeLab is a national infrastructure, the distribution of users is an important metric. In 2024, SciLifeLab served a total of 1,640 academic users – 60 % of which were based at institutions outside of SciLifeLab’s founding universities.
Infrastructure organization
Our national infrastructure is made up of ten technology platforms, each of which comprises a number of service units and are managed by appointed Platform Directors. For every unit, there is a Platform Scientific Director leading the scientific direction and a Head of Unit in charge of the daily operations.
