CREATE Health is a Strategic Centre for Translational Cancer research mainly located at Medicon Village in Lund. The Centre is funded mainly by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research, Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation and VINNOVA. By integrating clinicians and researchers from Lund University Hospital with researchers from the Faculties of Medicine, Natural Sciences and Engineering using a superbly equipped and integrated “omics” platform, concentrated in a single area, a centre unique in its kind has been created. The vision of CREATE Health is to use an integrative approach to develop novel diagnostics and therapeutics, based on identified markers and molecular signatures and to create a substantial social impact for the patient, through direct application of research for selection of an optimal, individually-based, cancer treatment.
