Our multidisciplinary research group aims to investigate pediatric hip disorders through multiple approaches. That is why our research includes genetic epidemiology with the purpose of unravelling why some individuals are prone to getting these disorders. Recently, we published a large genome-wide association study (GWAS) on hip dysplasia, implicating a collagen gene in the development of hip... Read more
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a congenital disorder in which the etiology, risk factors and life course are not fully understood.
In October, the Pandemic Centre is offering an interdisciplinary course for students on preparedness for health crises. The course is primarily aimed at PhD candidates and master's students and will address a range of exciting issues in collaboration with some of the leading experts at UiB.
Genes can indirectly influence the age at which girls have their first period by accelerating weight gain in childhood, a known risk factor for early puberty, a study from the University of Bergen and University of Cambridge has found.

Many women experience symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, and abdominal pain in the first part of pregnancy. Ground-breaking research from UiB can provide new answers to how genes can trigger such symptoms.
In a new doctoral work at CCBIO, by Christiane Helgestad Gjerde, the group has established a 3D in vitro model of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma to assess the efficacy of traditional chemotherapy and novel cell-based immunotherapies. This model makes out a more realistic mini tumor, making it possible to test which therapy that works on this type of cancer. The knowledge provided from this... Read more
