The Department of Research and Innovation consists of four different units:

• Neuroscience Research Unit
• Neuroscience Registry and Biobank
• Neuroscience Clinical Trail Unit
• Research and Communication Unit for Musculoskeletal Health (FORMI)

The overarching goal of the Department of Research and Innovation is to help facilitate high quality research across the departments of Neurology, Neurosurgery, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Neurohabilitation and Complex Epilepsy. We are currently working to achieve this by building a robust infrastructure that benefits all the 16 research groups within the division, as well as the feasibility of industry-sponsored clinical trials. The department works in close collaboration with the Clinical Trail Unit at the hospital and inven2, which is the tehnology transfer office of Oslo University Hospital and the University of Oslo.
