Endocrinology Research Unit (EFE) is a venture of all research efforts around endocrinology concentrated at department of Endocrinology M, Odense University Hospital.
EFE has its own research lab – clinic for Molecular Endocrinology and Endocrinlogy Treatment (KMEB) and presently, 22 Ph.d. students are trained in EFE. EFE also embraces two PhD Schools in which a close collaboration between the faculty of Natural Science and Technology of University of Southern Denmark and the Panum Institute of University of Copenhagen is taking place.
The goal is diagnostic treatment based on scientific knowledge, and therefore it is my pleasure to ascertain the high number of medical publications - around 70 this year. The research stories presented here are showing that department M is producing interesting results which can be implemented in the clinical work for the benefit of patients.
