MIDHOS (Metabolism, Inflammation, Digital Health, Osteology) , formerly MIDHAS (Metabolic Health, Inflammation, and Digitalization) is an interdisciplinary research cluster based at the University of Bern and Inselspital that brings together expertise across the life sciences, clinical research, and data-driven innovation. MIDHOS unites researchers working in key areas including metabolic disease, inflammation, musculoskeletal health, digital health, and systems medicine, with a shared focus on understanding and addressing complex chronic conditions.

At the core of MIDHOS is the recognition that many prevalent diseases are driven by metaflammation—chronic, low-grade inflammation linked to metabolic dysfunction and lifestyle factors. By connecting fundamental scientists, clinician-scientists, and digital health experts, MIDHOS fosters collaboration across disciplines and institutions to advance patient-centered research and translational impact.

MIDHOS hosts and supports the MeHDI (Metabolic Health, Digitization, and Inflammation) Cluster and the Osteology Research Network (ORN), providing a platform for networking, knowledge exchange, and the development of innovative research initiatives. Through targeted funding instruments, scientific events, and community-building activities, MIDHOS aims to accelerate discovery, enable interdisciplinary collaboration, and contribute to sustainable solutions for major health challenges.
