Ingrid Eftedal

Senior scientist / Head of research group

Department of Circulation and Medical Imaging Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences

AHL-senteret, 341.03.004, Øya, Prinsesse Kristinas gate 3

Senior scientist and research group leader in barophysiology at NTNU's Department for circulation and medical imaging.

My research focuses on how the body reacts and acclimatizes to the environment in diving.

By education I am a civil engineer in biophysics and medical technology, with a PhD in molecular genetics.

My prior work 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, leadership of the Medical Genetics Dept at St Olav’s University Hospital, and vice dean research at Nord university.
