Senior Researcher at CERG
Department of Circulation and Medical Imaging Faculty of Medicine and Health SciencesBackground and activities
I am employed as a senior researcher by the Norwegian Health Association and works in the research group CERG at K.G. Jebsen Center for Cardiovascular Health. My research focus is genetics, exercise and cardiac health.
I am a PI for 2 large international projects aiming to:
1. Find early serum risk markers for coronary artery disease using new omics technology (small-RNA transcriptomics and lipidomics) in large population-based cohort studies as well as smaller well-controlled clinical studies
2. Find the genetic signature of aerobic fitness and test the potential as a tool to determine cardiac health and future risk of cardiovascular diseases.
