The aim of the local SciLifeLab sites in Umeå, Linköping, Gothenburg and Lund is to bring national infrastructure activities closer to the research communities at these locations, and to contribute to increased synergies and collaborations with multiple stakeholders.
SciLifeLab Lund (external webpage) was formally launched in 2022 as a cross-faculty initiative between the Faculties of Medicine, Sciences, and Engineering, and is located at Lund University’s Biomedical Centre (BMC) on floor D14. The site is governed by a Steering group with representatives from the above-mentioned faculties, as well as from Region Skåne. The site is led at the operative level by a Site Director and a Management Group, which includes representatives from the included Research Infrastructure Units.
Besides LP3, there are eight research infrastructure units. Six of these units are part of SciLifeLab’s technology platforms, while the remaining two represent core local facilities like LP3, that are nationally relevant and have missions and objectives similar to those of SciLifeLab. I list of the SciLifeLab Lund platforms and links to their respective homepages can be found at the SciLifeLab Lund webpage.
