The Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab) is a collaboration between four universities in Stockholm and Uppsala: Stockholm University, the Karolinska Institute, the Royal Institute of Technology, and Uppsala University.

1. The SciLifeLab is a national centre for large-scale biosciences with a focus on health and enviroment.
2. The centre combines advanced technical know-how and state-of-the-art equipment with a broad knowledge in translational medicine and molecular biosciences.
3. SciLifeLab Drug Discovery & Development Platform (DDDP) was established in 2014.
4. The staff at SciLifeLab DDD forms a group of around 40 highly motivated scientists, mostly with experience from industrial drug discovery.
5. The mission is to support Swedish academic researchers in developing drug candidates.
6. The Department of Organic chemistry at Stockholm University now intends to employ a synthetic chemist/medicinal chemist with focus on synthetic chemistry/pharmaceutical chemistry at the Medicinal Chemistry
