Research
Trond Bruun, M.D., Ph.D. is head of the Infectious Diseases Section at Haukeland University Hospital in Bergen, Norway. He is also associate professor at Department of Clinical Science, University of Bergen. His main research interest is the field of skin and soft tissue infections, particularly erysipelas, cellulitis and necrotizing fasciitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus dysgalactiae. The streptococcal studies focus primarily on clinical epidemiology, clinical features and treatment of severe infections in relation to the host and causative bacteria and their traits. At present, Bruun and the streptococcal research group at the University of Bergen participate in the PERMIT and PERAID projects (https://permedinfect.com/) funded by Nordsforsk and EU. These projects aims to boost personalized medicine (PM) in severe infectious diseases, specifically focusing on life-threatening necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI) and sepsis.
