At the Department of Biomedicine, education and research center on the biological mechanisms of human health and disease.
We investigate molecular disease mechanisms and use our knowledge to develop new diagnostic tools and therapies.
Our broad spectrum of expertise covers the topics of
- cancer
- neuroscience
- physiology
- protein biology
- nanotechnology
- neuropsychiatric disorders
- cell biology
At the Department of Biomedicine, we train future scientists in a master's programme and a PhD research school. Around 200 employees form the core of the ten thematically grouped research groups. We manage three high-technology core facilities that are available to all higher education institutions in Norway. Our public academic lecture series BBB seminars started in 2003 and has become a valuable contribution to the Department's outreach programme.

Core Facilities
MIC (Molecular Imaging Centre)
PROBE (Proteomics Unit at the University of Bergen)
BiSS (Biophysics, Structural Biology, and Screening)
Core facilities that are open to any higher education institution in Norway. The idea behind the core facility concept is to make sophisticated scientific equipment and highly specialized personnel available to a wide range of users. In turn, core facility users contribute financially to operational expenses through paying a set fee for services rendered.
