Ingrid Eftedal
Research Scientist / Head of Research Group
Department of Circulation and Medical Imaging Faculty of Medicine and Health SciencesBackground and activities
I study how the body reacts and acclimatizes to the environment in diving.
By education I am a Civil Engineer in Biophysics and Medical Technology, and hold a Molecular Biology PhD from NTNU. My prior experience includes a post doc with the Ecole supérieure de biotechnologie in Strasbourg, molecular biologist at University Hospital Rigshospitalet Copenhagen, consultancy in forensic genetics with the Norwegian Board for Forensic Sciences and several years of leadership of the Medical Genetics Dept at St Olav’s University Hospital in Trondheim.
