Our vision

Our vision is to bring research and clinics closer together across professions, departments and medical specialties. Our aim is to produce internationally recognised research within our four strategic areas. We also strive to become an even more attractive research collaborator and an inspiring research institution that draws and retains outstanding staff dedicated to research.

Patient-centred, our research activities are directed at general medical conditions, the hospital particularly contributing in its capacity as a regional and acute-care hospital in the Capital Region of Denmark.

We endeavour to achieve high-quality clinical work via evidence-based treatment combined with continued development of best clinical practice through research. Our strong, dynamic research environments contribute to this goal, performing research initiated by doctors, nurses and physical therapists and directly translating research results into applied clinical practice.

Main strategic research areas

• Diabetes and vascular disease
• Inflammation and Infection
• Perioperative care
• Women, children and youth

To support activities in our strategic areas our core facilities comprise expertise in research design and planning, literature search, fundraising, project coordination, data management and biostatistics, in addition to a physical clinical research unit that provides technical facilities and practical guidance on clinical research.
