Paediatric Endocrinology
The research is focussed on clinical problems and includes clinical research projects at the clinical paediatric endocrine section and translational experimental research at the paediatric endocrinology research laboratory.
Several active research groups are covering different areas: reproductive biology, growth physiology and genetics, diabetes mellitus, metabolism and development of hormonal pharmaceuticals for paediatric use.
A general aim of the research activities is to help children with endocrine and metabolic disorders to achieve better quality of life by improving their growth and body composition.
