The Life Science Centre was established in 2005 to unite research groups within the Life Science field at Örebro University and Örebro University Hospital. The researchers involved belong to two different schools, the School of Science and Technology and the School of Health and Medical Sciences, and include the following research subjects: biology, chemistry, biomedicine and medicine. This contributes to a solid and creative research environment with strong national and international cooperation. The centre’s main goal is to offer a stimulating research environment for researchers and research students alike, as well as increase our presence both nationally and internationally.
