Research groups
Research groups are the backbone of medical research. They do research better, more focused and enjoyable.
At the Department of Clinical Medicine we have the basis for much 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 teams 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.
Work in progress
Research groups at the K1 will be highlighted here at our website. As this is a new department, new web sites are currently established for the groups.
Research group
-
Bergen Epilepsy Research Group (BERG)
Epilepsy represents a major brain disorder and may be combined with a broad spectrum of underlying diseases.
-
Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology in BergenSmall images:
The Division is mainly concerned with clinical research focusing on the development of new methods for improved diagnosis and treatment of patients with diseases of the digestive system.

The Bergen Research Group for UltraSound in GastroEnterology (BRUSE)Small images:
BRUSE has through many years been testing and developing new methods for clinical use of ultrasonography. Among others are methods within contrast-enhancing ultrasound, motility, endosonography, Doppler, three-dimensional ultrasound, Strain Rate Imaging and sonoelastography.
-
Biomaterials research group
The artifical materials of medicine and dentistry. Biomaterials are materials intended to interface with biological systems to evaluate, treat, augment, or replace any tissue, organ, or function of the body.
-
Pancreas Research Group
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes and is at the same time a hormone-producing organ that regulates glucose metabolism. Our research group focuses on the molecular mechanisms involved in development of pancreatic disease.
-
The Norwegian Arthroplasty Register Research group
Registry data from all over Norway on joint replacements, hip fractures and cruciate ligament injuries.
-
The Mitochondrial Medicine & Neurogenetics (MMN) group
The Mitochondrial Medicine & Neurogenetics (MMN) group is a clinical and research unit devoted to the diagnosis, study and treatment of inherited neurological diseases with special focus on mitochondrial disease.
