Center for Disaster Medicine Relocates to the Innovation Hub at Medicinareberget
The Center for Disaster Medicine is relocating to Medicinaregatan 8A, where Sahlgrenska Science Park operates the innovation hub within the property. The premises are located opposite the future Sahlgrenska Life district and bring together activities in research, education, and innovation.
“The move to our new premises is an important step in our continued development. Here, we will have even greater opportunities to strengthen collaboration in research, education, and preparedness, in close proximity to academia, healthcare, and innovation environments,” Yohan Robinson, Senior Consultant, Associate Professor, and Director of the Center for Disaster Medicine.
The Center for Disaster Medicine conducts research, development, and education in disaster medicine and healthcare during crises and war. The organization is one of the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare’s national centers of expertise in disaster medicine, with a particular focus on total defence medicine, and works on some of society’s most critical challenges — from pandemics and mass casualty management to climate-related disasters, chemical and radiological incidents, and healthcare under heightened preparedness.
“The Center for Disaster Medicine brings unique and highly relevant expertise to the Sahlgrenska Science Park environment. Their presence strengthens both the collaborative ecosystem and the connection between research, innovation, preparedness, and practical healthcare,” Karl Maack, Director Health Innovation Labs at Sahlgrenska Science Park.

Today, the premises at Medicinaregatan 8A are home to several life science companies and organizations, including both startups and established businesses. The establishment further strengthens the growing collaborative environment at Medicinareberget, where academia, healthcare, and industry come together to accelerate the health innovations of the future.
The Center for Disaster Medicine at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, collaborates extensively with stakeholders in academia, healthcare, and total defence, including Chalmers University of Technology, Region Västra Götaland, the Swedish Armed Forces, and Sahlgrenska University Hospital.
“When research, clinical practice, and innovation are brought together geographically, better conditions are created for new collaborations and faster development. That is exactly the kind of environment now emerging at Medicinareberget,” says Karl Maack.
