Research

We have a strong research-based focus on calcium metabolic disorders and offer frontline treatments to both patients with common diseases such as osteoporosis and vitamin D deficiency and patients with a broad variety of rare bone diseases. Our osteoporosis clinic has a very high throughput of DEXA scans, and we have experts at a high international level within genetic calcium metabolic disorders.

Diseases within the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, the pituitary and congenital endocrine disorders are relatively rare, and we diagnose and treat patients with such diseases from the western part of Denmark. We have a close collaboration with experts in molecular medicine and are about to offer targeted next generation sequencing to patients with suspected genetic disorders.
