Research

Head of the research group “Women’s health and PCOS” at the Institute for Laboratory Medicine, Children’s and Women’s health, and at the Dept. of Obstetrics and Gynecology, St. Olav`s Hospital Trondheim, Norway                                    

Principal investigator of the «Metformin treatment of pregnant PCOS women and prevention of preterm birth» (The PregMet2) study, a Nordic RCT, funded by the Norwegian Research Council.

Principal investigator of the “Intrauterine metformin exposure and long-term health of the children” (The PedMet1 study) a multicenter RCT, funded by the Norwegian Research Council, Novo Nordisk and The Joint Research Council at St.Olavs Hospital and The Faculty of Medicine, NTNU.

Principal investigator of the “Intrauterine metformin exposure and cognitive development in children born to PCOS mothers and control mothers” (The CogMet study) funded by Novo Nordisk and The Joint Research Council at St.Olavs Hospital and The Faculty of Medicine, NTNU.

We investigate polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in both pregnant and non-pregnant women. Main focus is randomized clinical trials where the effect of metformin is explored. We follow up women before, during and after pregnancy and their children with somatic and cognitive examinations.  Our aim is to survey long-term health of mothers with PCOS and their children. We explore possible consequences of PCOS and possible effects of metformin on hemodynamics, pharmacokinetics, weight development, body composition, hormones, metabolism and lung function.

Other area of interests is breastfeeding related to maternal and offspring long-term health, patient claims in gynecology, labour induction, breech deliveries and hyperemesis in pregnancy.

We have ongoing co-operation with the Dept. of Pediatrics, Dept. of Clinical Pharmacology, Inst. for Cancer Research and Molecular Biology; research group for “Inflammation and genetics in pregnancy” and research group «Excercise, cariometabolic health and reproduction».

We also have ongoing clinical and epidemiological studies and co-operation with established research groups in Bergen (Norway), Sweden, Finland, USA, Canada, and Australia where we explore different aspects of PCOS, obesity and breastfeeding.
