Life Science is one of six multidisciplinary focus areas at KTH that is formed by the convergence of engineering, natural and mathematical sciences with life sciences. Several research groups at KTH are world leading in their areas of expertise within life science technology.

For KTH researchers
News, events, and calls for KTH researchers is available on
the Intranet.
KTH Life Science Platform connects
seven thematic research areas
that mostly concern human health and the healthcare system, but also adjacent areas, for example, environment and sustainability. The common denominator of all research is the contribution to human well-being.
An important goal is facilitating interaction between expertise at KTH and external partners within academia, public organisations and companies interested in Life Science research.
Bioimaging
Biomolecular Tools and Biomaterials
Infrastructure in Health
Mathematical& Computational Sciences
Medical Devices
MicroNanoBio
Fundamental Research in Life Science
The platform facilitates interaction between expertise at KTH and external partners with an interest in Life Science research.
KTH Life Science Day 2023 will showcase some of the work within continuous monitoring of health data at KTH. It will feature speakers involved in sensor development, data analysis and visualisation pipeline creation, infrastructure for data sharing establishment, and formulating design philosophies and ethical guidelines for handling the extensive data associated with continuous monitoring.
