Forskning
Real er banebryter og internasjonal ekspert innen forskning om kjønnshormoner, reproduktive- og metabolske faktorer, og tidlige livsfaktorer for lungehelse. Han er banebrytende for dette feltet gjennom sin egen doktorgrad, postdoktorarbeid, doktorgradsstudenter og postdoktor. Han er ansvarlig for kvinnehelse studier i kohortene Respiratory Health in Northern Europe (RHINE) og Respiratory Health in Northern Europe, Spain and Australia (RHINESSA), og medansvarlig for kvinnehelse studier i Europaen Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS).
Han leder Forskningsenhet for helseundersøkelser (FHU), en kjernefasilitet ved Universitetet i Bergen som gjennomfører kliniske forskningsprosjekter som ikke krever sykehusinfrastruktur. FHU er et samarbeid mellom Det Medisinske Fakultet og Haukeland universitetssykehus (HUS), administrativt underlagt Institutt for klinisk medisin, og finansiert av Trond Mohn Foundation/Trond Mohn Stiftelse (TMS).

Prosjektleder og samarbeidspartner
Han samarbeider i sin forskning med Respiratory Health in Northern Europe (RHINE), European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS), Tasmanian Health Survey (TAHS), den sveitsiske kohortstudien om luftforurensning og lungesykdommer hos voksne (SAPALDIA), UK BioBank, PregMet-studien, og den transgenerasjonelle Respiratory Health in Northern Europe, Spain and Australia (RHINESSA). Han var PI i den banebrytende studien om Overgangsalder og respiratorisk helse, som Norges forskningsråd (NFR) finansierte, hvor ECRHS, RHINE og TAHS samarbeidet. Han tilbrakte seks måneder som postdoktor ved prof Shyamali Dharmage´s Allergy and Lung Health Unit, University of Melbourne. Han leder Reproductive Respiratory Health arbeidsgruppen for RHINE og RHINESSA studier, er med-leder i ECRHS Gender Working Group med AI Leynaert, og PI for ECRHS i Bergen.
Hans styrker som forsker er original- og innovativ tenkning, god nettverksbyggingskapasitet og erfaring med forskningsadministrasjon. Dette vises i artikler som har bidratt til ny tenkning i feltet.
Hans doktorgradsstudent og postdoktorforsker, Kai Triebner, har publiserte artikler som har vist at overgangsalderen er relatert til nyoppstått astma og akselerert lungefunksjonsfall (publisert i ledende luftveis- og allergitidsskrifter).
