About
I work in Søknadshjelpen where we provide support for researchers in attaining funding for their projects. I am also the coordinator of the faculty's core facilities
Tasks in Søknadshjelpen:
- Advise on what organizations and calls you can apply to for external funding
- Review of grant applications
- Courses and workshopps in grant writing
- Administrating the faculties eRA Commons account for applications to the National Institute of Health (USA)
My background is in exercise physiology with a masters degree from NTNU. In 2019 I finished my PhD thesis in molecular medicine where I looked at the effects of exercise on mitochondrial function in cardiovascular diseases.
