Karolinska Institute
Karolinska Institutet (Karolinska Institute – Sweden’s leading medical university) is one of the world’s foremost medical universities, with a strong focus on improving human health through clinical, epidemiological, and translational research. Its researchers contribute significantly to advances in pediatrics, neurology, psychology, and biostatistics.
Within IMPROVE PRETERM, Karolinska Institutet contributes clinical and research expertise in pediatrics, neurology, psychology, and biostatistics, supported by high-quality data from the Swedish Neonatal Register and the EXPRESS cohort. The team brings extensive experience in pediatric follow-up, perinatal and neonatal epidemiology, and long-term developmental research, helping the consortium evaluate how early experiences and care strategies influence lifelong health.
Karolinska Institutet also contributes Nordic register data and domain expertise across several workstreams, strengthening the project’s ability to generate robust, comparative evidence across countries and healthcare systems.
