Elise Midtbust Sandholm
About
I have an MSc in Biotechnology and I am currently working as an engineer in May-Britt Tessems ERC project ProstOmics at the Department of Circulation and Medical Imaging, NTNU. Currently, there is a need for reliable clinical tools to distinguish men whose prostate cancer is likely to me aggressive and life threatening, from those who have indolent slow-growing disease. Our goal is to identify biomarkers for improved diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer patients. To achieve this we combine several layers of omics information on our prostate tissue samples. I am involved in the development and lab work on our unique analytical multi-omics (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) protocol. My work mainly focus on HRMAS and MALDI MS imaging to study metabolomics and laser microdissection to study microproteomics. I also work in the histology lab to do embedding, cryosectioning and scanning.
