In order to increase awareness of the academic support available to researchers, the Department of Clinical Medicine has brought together a number of support functions:
All clinical studies that require regulatory approval must be registered via Clinicaltrials.gov.
You must have access permission to register information in the database.
The biochemical research unit is a core facility for biomedical research support. This includes the taking of blood samples, sample preparation, analyses of samples (ongoing or batch), and shipping of samples to other laboratories. We are ready to provide support for your research project from 07:00 to 23:00 all days of the week year-round. The service also includes counselling, information, and on-site inspection possibilities.
Contact project coordinators Lene Damm Christensen lenechst@rm.dk, Mette Mølby Nielsen memoni@rm.dk
Statistical help and guidance in connection with clinical trials. Both initially and in connection with experimental design, power calculation, etc., and later in the process for the final data analysis.
Contact Corporate Relations and Technology Transfer, AU (tto@au.dk) to ensure that contracts and collaboration agreements are drawn up in accordance with the applicable rules.
Please note that the Department of Clinical Medicine has a special workflow in relation to collaboration agreements. Read a description of workflows for the approval and signing of collaboration agreements here (PDF).
