From Idea to Impact: Your Partner in Clinical Research That Matters

The Department of Clinical Research is an umbrella organisation linking the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Bern with the University Hospitals, including Inselspital and Universitäres Psychiatrisches Zentrum (UPZ). It facilitates and professionalises clinical and translational research partnerships.
Our specialized divisions support researchers throughout the entire research lifecycle, from project conception to the dissemination of results. We provide tailored educational programs and events covering all aspects of clinical research, equipping researchers and students with the tools to conduct impactful and streamlined studies. Central to our mission is keeping the patient at the centre of everything we do, making sure their voices remain integral to our research.
