Gastroenterology, inflammation, and clinic-based research

This unit comprises professions with a wide range of expertise and affiliations with several clinics at St. Olav’s Hospital and Namsos, as well as the hospitals in Molde, Levanger, and Ålesund. We also collaborate with other research environments at NTNU and national and international academic communities.

We provide extensive teaching at the medical study and at study programs related to molecular medicine and health sciences. The researchers within this unit supervise PhD, master’s, and medical research students.

Our research groups cover a broad spectrum of clinically relevant areas, including obesity, endocrinology, diabetes, kidney diseases, skin, venereology, gastrointestinal surgery, microphysiological immune systems (nanomedicine), cancer research, and basic and clinical gastroenterology, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The overall goal for all research groups is to enhance knowledge about pathological mechanisms and contribute to improved, personalized patient care.

The Unit for Gastroenterology, Inflammation, and Clinic-based Research is mainly located in Gastrosenteret (north), Laboratoriesenteret, and Forsyningssenteret on Campus Øya in Trondheim.
