Research groups
Research
The Renal Research Group is an open forum for clinical and translational kidney research in Bergen. The group has traditionally combined human and animal models to study disease mechanisms with advanced molecular analyses of kidney biopsies and digital pathology. In addition, epidemiological studies on risk factors and the progression of chronic kidney disease are conducted, along with several ongoing clinical studies.
