[:no]\"\"<\/a>Hei! 2017 er snart historie. Det g\u00e5r mot jul \u2013 en h\u00f8ytid som for mange er \u00e5rets h\u00f8ydepunkt \u2013 etterfulgt av den rolige romjula, nytt\u00e5rsaften, nytt\u00e5rskonserten og den tradisjonelle hoppuka f\u00f8r et nytt \u00e5r igjen braker l\u00f8s.<\/p>\n

Som de fleste sikkert har f\u00e5tt med seg, er jeg ny instituttleder p\u00e5 K2 etter Per Bakke. Siden ikke alle kjenner meg: Jeg er cand. med. 1986 og dr. med. 1989 fra UiB, overlege i endokrinologi og metabolske sykdommer, Barne- og ungdomsklinikken fra 1999, og professor i pediatri fra 2000. Internasjonal erfaring har jeg fra tre forsknings\u00e5r ved henholdsvis University of Chicago<\/em>, Harvard Medical School<\/em> og Massachusetts Institute of Technology<\/em>. Jeg har bygget opp forskningsgruppen innen diabetesgenetikk og leder KG Senter for Diabetesforskning.<\/p>\n

Hvorfor K2? Ja, det er et stort hopp. Motivasjonen for \u00e5 s\u00f8ke jobben som instituttleder var et \u00f8nske om nye utfordringer ved et kjempeflott institutt med masse positiv energi. Her er forskergrupper i toppen, EU-prosjekter, Jebsen-sentre, en ny studieplan som er under implementering, og et budsjett i balanse. Det som skremmer er at det er \u00e5 hoppe etter Wirkola. Per Bakke og teamet rundt ham har virkelig f\u00e5tt til mye positivt. Da er det en ekstra stor motivasjon \u00e5 se om det er mulig \u00e5 bringe K2 enda lenger fremover innen forskning og undervisning. Bokl\u00f6v utfordret hoppsporten med en ny m\u00e5te \u00e5 hoppe p\u00e5; det er alltid mulig \u00e5 gj\u00f8re noe bra enda bedre. Jeg tror p\u00e5 inspirasjon, involvering, internasjonalisering og innovasjon. Min mor pleier \u00e5 si \u201dflinke folk trengs overalt\u201d \u2013 alle kan gj\u00f8re en viktig jobb for K2 selv om rollene er ulike. En utfordring er derfor \u00e5 jobbe sammen for \u00e5 gj\u00f8re hverandre bedre. La 1+1 bli 3 og ikke 2. S\u00e5 skal vi ogs\u00e5 heie fram de som hopper lengst og mest stilig. Vi trenger rollemodeller, vi trenger toppforskning, vi trenger supre undervisere, og vi trenger hele tiden nye ideer.<\/p>\n

Avslutningsvis vil jeg takke for varm og hyggelig velkomst p\u00e5 Instituttets dag. Jeg vil ogs\u00e5 takke administrasjonen for ekstra innsats i tiden som har v\u00e6rt \u2013 samt Eystein Husebye, Jone Trovik og Roland Jonsson som har v\u00e6rt villige til \u00e5 v\u00e6re konstituerte instituttledere. P\u00e5 alles vegne takkes ogs\u00e5 alle andre ansatte for \u00e5 ha st\u00e5tt p\u00e5 for K2 i \u00e5ret som gikk.<\/p>\n

Gleder meg til \u00e5 bli bedre kjent med K2 og ta fatt p\u00e5 denne spennende oppgaven. Med \u00f8nsker om en fredelig julehelg og alt godt for 2018.<\/p>\n

P\u00e5l[:en]\"\"<\/a>Hi! 2017 is soon history. Christmas is approaching \u2013 a holiday that for many is the highlight of the year \u2013 followed by some peaceful days, then New Year’s Eve, the New Year’s Concert and the traditional German-Austrian Ski Jumping Week before a new year is embarking.<\/p>\n

As most people probably know, I am the new Head of Department of Clinical Science (K2) after Per Bakke. Since not everybody knows me: I was educated MD 1986 and PhD 1989 at UiB, is consultant physician in Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases at the Department of Pediatics and Adoolescents, and has been Professor of Pediatrics from 2000. I have international experience from three research years at the University of Chicago, Harvard Medical School, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, respectively. I have built up the research group in diabetes genetics and lead the KG Jebsen Center for Diabetes Research.<\/p>\n

Why K2? Yes, that is a big jump. The motivation for applying for the job as Head of Department was a wish for new challenges at a great institute with a lot of positive energy. Here are top research groups, EU projects, Jebsen Centers, a new study plan in medicine under implementation, and a budget in balance. What scares me is that it is indeed jumping after Wirkola (Norwegian ski jumper legend). Per Bakke and the team around him have really done a great job at K2. Then it is an extra motivation to see if it is possible to bring K2 even further in the field of research and teaching. The Swede ski jumper Bokl\u00f6v challenged the jump sport with a new way to jump; it is always possible to do something good even better. I believe in inspiration, involvement, internationalization, and innovation. My mother usually says «cleaver people are needed everywhere» \u2013 everyone can do an important job for K2 even though the roles are different. One challenge is therefore to work together to make each other even better. Let 1 + 1 be 3 and not 2. But we should also applaud for those that jump the longest and most stylish. We need role models, we need top research, we need top educators, and we always need new ideas.<\/p>\n

Finally, I would like to thank you for your warm welcome at the Institute’s day. I would also like to thank the administration for extra efforts during the time that has been, as well as Eystein Husebye, Jone Trovik and Roland Jonsson who have been willing to be instituted department leaders. I wish to thank each of you for working hard for K2 during 2017.<\/p>\n

I am looking forward to getting to know K2 better and taking on this exciting task. Wishing you a peaceful Christmas and everything good for 2018.<\/p>\n
