Department of Clinical Epidemiology


Department of Clinical Epidemiology is a highly specialized research department working with clinical epidemiology at an international level. Our mission is to contribute to improved diagnostics and treatment and thus improved patients’ prognosis. We seek to fulfill our mission by four means:  

  1. Free and independent research at an internationally high level within diagnostics, treatment and prognosis
  2. Methods development
  3. A graduate programme
  4. Counselling of clinical departments and public authorities regarding clinical epidemiology

Department of Clinical Epidemiology builds on the long tradition of research and teaching within epidemiology that has been established at Aarhus University. We strive to maintain an international and stimulating work environment with highly qualified employees with good social skills.
