Helene Haugen Berg
About
Helene Haugen Berg is a neurology resident at St Olav’s University Hospital and a PhD Candidate at Cardiac Exercise Research Group (CERG), NTNU. She finished her medical studies at NTNU i 2015. Her research interests are early diagnostic and prevention of Alzheimer’s disease, and physical activity as a dementia preventive measure. She is part of the Tari Group, working on ExPlas - a clinical trial on Alzheimer's disease. The aim is to examine if blood plasma transfusions from fit donors are safe and if it can benefit the Alzheimer's brain.
Research
Helene Haugen Berg is doing research on predicitve biomarkers in blood in Alzheimers disease (AD) related to exercise's effect on the ageing brain. She is also a part of the ExPlas/ Tari Group studying the effect of exercised plasma on AD brain. Please click the "ExPlas"-link below for further details about our experimental studies and clinical trial.
She is collaborating with the Trønderbrain group, collecting data in a longitudinal study on Alzheimer's disease. Please click the "Trønderbain"-link below for more information about the Trønderbrain group.
