Abstract
THE Royal Caroline Institute (Kungl. Karolinska Medico-Kirurgiska Institutet), which is the medical school of Stockholm—the University of Stockholm (Stockholms Högskola) haying no medical faculty—and is in charge of the medical Nobel Fund, has decided to build a Medical Nobel Institute for research in the three theoretical disciplines, anatomy, biochemistry and physiology. The new Institute will consist of three departments in one building to be erected on the premises of the new medical centre at Norrbacka in the north-west region of the city. The Biochemical Nobel Institute was founded in 1937 and is directed by Prof. Hugo Theorell. The physiological department will be a Neurophysiological Research Laboratory privately endowed in 1940 for Prof. Ragnar Granit, who will also be in charge of the new institute. The anatomical department will be associated with a new chair in cell research to be created for Dr. Torbjörn Caspersson.
