Department of Rare Diseases
Head of research
The Department of Rare Diseases consists of three centres with a national function.
The research group is divided into three sub units, one from each centre:
- Norwegian Centre for Rare Diseases, Unit for Lung Diseases and Cystic Fibrosis
- Norwegian Centre for Rare Diseases, Unit for Brain Disorders
- Norwegian Centre for Rare Diseases, Unit Gaustad
The department is conducting projects related to disease picture, disease mechanisms, treatment research, diagnostic optimization (advanced signal analysis/machine learning), somatic and mental additional difficulties and quality registration.
In addition to the national competence centers, there is a K.G. Jebsen Center for Medical Translational Research at the department. The competence centers are interdisciplinary and will conduct professional development and research related to their diagnoses.
