Researchers at the University of Bergen, Haukeland University Hospital, and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health have studied the relationship between levels of environmental pollutants in the blood and pubertal development in 300 boys in Bergen, Norway. The results showed that those with higher levels of pollutants entered puberty later.
Center for research on Cardiac Disease in Women celebrates its 4th year anniversary. We celebrate this achievement with interviewing Helga Midtbø who has been appointed as the Grieg associate professor in cardiology at the Center

Sexual or gender minorities in Nepal experience mental health issues due to widespread violence and stigmatization. A group of researchers from the University of Bergen (UiB) and Nepal will investigate whether peer counseling can improve mental health and reduce exposure to violence for this group.
“The fact that we have just five years left to reach the Sustainable Development Goals should give us reason to pause — can we not do better?” asks Professor Birgit Kopainsky, who will lead Bergen Summer Research School 2025.
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.
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
