Main content

Research groups are the backbone of medical research

At the Department of Clinical Medicine (Klinisk institutt 1) we have the basis for medical research, namely good patient materials. Collaboration in clinical medicine should be flexible and opportunistic. Research groups are formed by making contacts locally, nationally and internationally and actively seeking opportunities and collaboration. Solid clusters ensure research expertise and impact over time. The best research groups combine stability and flexibility.

Multidisciplinary collaboration

K1 is divided into 10 sections. Research groups collaborate independent of the boundaries of sections, department and institutions. Well-defined research groups promote research, strengthen application impact possibilities and recruitment ability. Such groups also encourage all participants to become even more productive. Below, you can scroll through the different research groups at the Department of Clinical Medicine.
