About
I have been working as a researcher since 2020. I am working in the field of endocrinology. My one task is to investigate the vitamin A deficiency in bone mass density. Studies are conducted in the cell laboratory where osteocytes are used to observe different vitamin A level's effects on the growth and protein expression during the denutrition stress. And in the animal facility where rats and their offspring are observed during insufficient vitamin A diet. Bone mineral density, muscle and organ morphology, fat mass, and circulating metabolic biomarker changes during the development are observed.
My second task is clinical data coordinator. The Clinical Data Coordinator has principal responsibility for clinical trials data management, including designing data capture tools, capturing and recording clinical trials data, monitoring and promoting the quality and integrity of data, and preparing summary reports. My duties are: 1) Ensure quality of data submitted from study sites and assure timely entry in the database, submission of data, including appropriate reporting and follow-up for all safety events by site personnel.
2) Establish the Trial Master File at each site including essential and non-essential documents. Ensure current copies of lab certificates, regulatory approvals, clinician’s credentials, etc., are updated in a timely manner and are in compliance.
3) Ensure the conduct of the study is in compliance with the currently approved protocol/amendment(s), with current GCP guidelines and with applicable regulatory requirements.
Received PhD degree in medicine at Norwegian University of Science and Technology in 2021. Title of the thesis: Intraperitoneal insulin administration - superior choice for an artificial pancreas. Main supervisor: Sverre Christian Christiansen.
During my PhD studies (2016-2020), I focused on insulin and glucagon pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics in the animal models; and intraperitoneal insulin infusion benefits in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1.
During my MSc studies (2010-2012), I worked with anaerobic methane-producing bacteria. With a focus on substrate composition in biogas reactor effect on methane production.
During my BSc studies (2006-2010), I worked with years cells (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). With focus on yeast protective abilities during oxidative stress.
