NTNU Health and Life Science
Strategic Research Area 2024–2031
NTNU Health and Life Science contributes to health research in light of environmental impacts and technological developments, with the goal of higher quality of life and better health services for people in all stages of life.
At NTNU, we develop new technologies and methods promoting public health and medical innovation, including better diagnostics, treatment, and prevention of diseases. We seek to increase knowledge on how the physical, mental, and social environment creates disease and promotes health, leading to effective health-promoting and preventive measures. Our researchers have a holistic approach to health, where good health is reflected in the interaction and interdependence between people, animals, and nature.
