The family-owned publishing company was founded in 1890 in Berlin, when Samuel Karger decided to launch a publishing company devoted entirely to medicine and science, and the growing demand for specialized journals.
After relocating the company’s headquarters to Switzerland in the 1930s, Karger started to increasingly address an international audience. As a result of this process, English became the main language of publication.
Karger is a publishing company devoted entirely to medicine and science, and the growing demand for specialized journals. Karger produces 80 scientific journals and about 150 serial and nonserial book titles per year, including supplement and topic journal issues, covering the full spectrum of biomedical science.

From Allergy to Oncology, Endocrinology to Nephrology, Neuroscience to Genetics, you will find the latest discoveries, applications and research in the books and journals.
