Core Tasks
Department of Clinical Biochemistry are characterised by being a cross-disciplinary field coupling research, development, laboratory activities and clinical tasks. These specialist areas experience rapid development, and particularly the areas of molecular diagnostics and mass spectrometry has become increasingly important for patients and physicians.
Department of Clinical Biochemistry has approx. 230 employees including professors, consultants, senior house officers, registrars, biochemists, laboratory technicians, secretaries and service employees. The majority of the staff are laboratory technicians, who also are responsible for blood drawing at the hospital. Blood samples from outpatients are drawn at the Departments outpatient clinic. Modern technology ensures efficient management, reliable analysis results from patient samples and short response times.
The Department yearly produces around 11 million analysis results (2022).
Department of Clinical Biochemistry is also a university department and therefore has a comprehensive research and development section, which focuses particularly on diabetes and cardio-vascular diseases to gain a better understanding of diseases, earlier diagnosis as well as more efficient treatment. The department is also engaged in implementation of new technologies, automation of manual procedures and artificial intelligence, at a research level as well as for future routine strategies.
