PROJECTS PREGRADUATE PROJECTS ODENSE CHILD COHORT CONTENTS PUBLICATIONS TEACHING NEW ADJUNCT PROFESSOR RESEARCH SEMINAR GRANTS CONTACT The annual report for HCA Research at the Hans Christian Andersen Children’s Hospital provides a brief snapshot of our activities and contri- butions to pediatric research in 2016. The report presents projects, re- sults, teaching, grants and collaboration and as well as expectations for 2017. In total, 2016 has been a good year for HCA Research. New projects have been started, a number of projects have been successfully finalized and the number of publications has increased. The research funding pro- file has temporarily decreased, but is expected again to increase in 2017 WELCOME As we move forward we will maintain our strength in interdisciplinary re- search while seeking to build new partnerships and recruit new resear- chers in new projects, in order to sustain the excellence and impact of our research unit. Steffen Husby Professor & Head of Research HCA Research is both a part of Hans Christian Andersen Chil- dren’s Hospital, Odense University Hospital, and a part of Depart- ment of Clinical Research, Faculty of Health Sciences at University of Southern Denmark. We are a team of professors, consultants, associate professors, ph.d. students, medical students, technici- ans, nurses and secretary assistants. I S S I O N: to promote and implement pediatric clini- M cal and experi- mental research at a high professional level. I S I O N: to optimize health HCA RESEARCH and treatment of children’s illness V through interdisci- plinary, clinical and biomedi- cal research of high quality with focus on prevention, di- agnostics and treatment. HCA Research prioritizes local, regional, national and interna- tional collaboration. Our organizational position as a part of both University of Southern Denmark and Odense University Hospital provides us many opportunities to collaborate with other depart- ments and institutes. In 2016 we have strengthened existing relations and expanded new promising collaborations. COLLABORATION HCA Research supports research in all pediatric fields.
