Research facilities

The research environment at St. Erik Eye Hospital aims to provide optimal conditions for translating the research results faster and more efficiently from basic research to clinical reality for the patients. St. Erik’s tissue laboratory and histopathological laboratory can also be found here.

The ophthalmology research is conducted in collaboration with KI/Department of Clinical Neuroscience, but also with the industry. Glaucoma researchers Elizabeth Kastanaki and Amin Otmani.

Two of the three laboratories are occupied and St. Erik/KI would welcome more basic researchers and non-clinical researchers on board.
