Welcome

Segelov14.jpg

As Director of the Department of Clinical Research (DCR), it is my pleasure to welcome you to our 2025 Annual Report.

Looking back on 2025, I am proud of what we have achieved together. It has been a year shaped by collaboration, curiosity, and a shared commitment to improving healthcare through high-quality clinical research.

Every day, our teams work closely with researchers and clinicians to turn ideas into meaningful studies and impactful results. The DCR supports this work through a broad range of services and expertise, including statistics and methodology, medical data science, research design, IICT Calls, as well as education and training, alongside many other areas that contribute to advancing clinical research. This report highlights a selection of the projects, studies, and initiatives we have been involved in over the past year.

Behind every achievement is the dedication and collaboration of our researchers, clinicians, partners, and staff. I would like to sincerely thank everyone who contributed to the DCR’s work and success in 2025.

Enjoy the report!

Warm regards,

Prof. Dr. Eva Segelov,
Director of the Department of Clinical Research

Who We Are

The Department of Clinical Research is an umbrella organisation

between the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Bern and the University Hospitals, that facilitates and professionalises clinical and translational research partnerships. It consists of several integral divisions under the DCR umbrella.

 

We support the full spectrum of clinical research, from early-phase studies to large multicentre trials, by providing robust infrastructure, methodological expertise, and streamlined processes. In addition, we are committed to fostering the next generation of researchers through targeted training, mentorship, and career development opportunities.

By promoting interdisciplinary cooperation and innovation, the department plays a key role in translating scientific discoveries into meaningful improvements in patient care.
