Clinical Genomics Stockholm

The Clinical Genomics Stockholm facility provides a dedicated research infrastructure for projects utilising massively parallel / next generation sequencing technologies. All projects are carried out in close collaboration with the Swedish healthcare system. The facility serves as a competence center assisting the translation of genomics-based tools to routine clinical care. All work is carried out in close collaboration with medical expertise provided by the clinical diagnostic laboratories and patients’ managing physicians. Also, the facility aims to improve the capacity of the public health microbiology for national surveillance of infectious diseases and for epidemic preparedness.

Services
