Closely affiliated with Karolinska University Hospital, the institute plays a central role in research and clinical care for neurological conditions, including spinal cord injury.
Karolinska conducts cutting-edge research into spinal cord repair, neural regeneration, stem-cell-based approaches and long-term rehabilitation outcomes, while the hospital provides highly specialised SCI treatment and neurorehabilitation services.
Together, they form one of Europe’s leading environments for advancing both the science and clinical management of spinal cord injury.
