Research infrastructures in the field of life science
By making the research infrastructure resources in the Gothenburg region more visible, we can enhance collaboration and utilization across academia, healthcare, authorities, industry, and other stakeholders.
What is life science?
Life science encompasses a broad field of study. It can be defined as the science of all living things - how organisms function, interact with, and impact their environment.
The focus lies within biology, human biology, molecular science, nursing science, clinical and preclinical medical science, environmental science, health care, and biotechnology. Additionally, research in life science significantly intersects with areas such as technology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, material science, and pharmacy.
In collaboration with the Västra Götaland Region, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, and Chalmers University of Technology, the Faculty of Science and the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, jointly undertake initiatives in the field of life science.
Accessibility of research infrastructures within life science
To conduct research and education at a high international level, researchers depend on robust and sustainable research infrastructures that are open to users. Research infrastructures also contribute to training the next generation of scientists and play a crucial role in enhancing the competitive edge of the Gothenburg Region in life science.
To facilitate increased collaboration and utilization of existing research infrastructures across academia, health care, government agencies, industry, and other stakeholders, these resources need to be made visible. This collective effort aims to strengthen accessibility to research infrastructure for life science within the Gothenburg Region.
Available research infrastructure in life science in the Gothenburg Region
Inventory of Available Advanced Equipment
In collaboration with Västra Götalandsregionen, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, and Chalmers, a gradual inventory of existing advanced instruments is taking place within the operations of the Faculty of Science and the Sahlgrenska Academy. The purpose of this inventory is to:
- Make existing advanced instruments accessible for others to use,
- Enhance collaboration among researchers,
- Improve resource efficiency,
- Create an overall picture of the advanced equipment available.
