Find out more about what we're up to in the Endotrain programme!

Norwegian Centre of Excellence (SFF) finalist

Congrats to Endotrain's very own leader, Eystein! His application for a Research Council of Norway Centre of Excellence (SFF) has made it through to the final phase!

The proposed research center RRISE will uncover how biological clocks regulate the interaction between the hormonal system and the immune system – and how disruptions in these rhythms triggered by shift work, stress and sleep disorders can lead to autoimmune diseases. By combining continuous hormone measurements, immunoassays and data from everyday life, the center will identify disease mechanisms with the goal of preventing disease.

Good luck Eystein and colleagues!

... And we're off!!

Endotrain officially began on Jan 1st 2026. Over the next four years 19 PhD students will be working together to revolutionize digital healthcare - bringing together clinical endocrinology, AI, data science, engineering, ethics and law - to better assess and treat patients.

We'll use this space to introduce our new students and update on progress as we go.
