Dealing with depths: systems biology of health preservation in professional saturation diving
Målsettingen for prosjektet er å bidra til sikker dykking i framtida; i petroleumssektoren og andre undervanns- og marine industrier gjennom å styrke baromedisinsk kunnskap og kompetanse.
Fitness to dive - a translational approach to physiological challenges in the hyperbaric working environment
Hovedmålet med prosjektet er ny fysiologisk kunnskap som kan brukes til å beskytte dykkere mot skade. Prosjektet bruker en translasjonell tilnærming der rottemodeller suppleres med observasjoner fra menneskelige dykkere.
Gene expression and decompression sickness
Her bruker vi rotter som modell for å kartlegge sammenhenger mellom genuttrykk og dykkersyke. Målsettingen er bedre kunnskap om molekylære mekanismer som kan brukes i forebygging og beregning av risiko for sykdom.

Acute Effects on the Human Peripheral Blood Transcriptome of Decompression Sickness Secondary to Scuba Diving
In this study, we aim to explore changes in the human leukocyte transcriptome in divers with DCS compared to closely matched unaffected controls after uneventful diving.
Immune and inflammatory responses to freediving calculated from leukocyte gene expression profiles
Here we have used gene expression profiling to analyze elite athletes' immune and inflammatory responses to freediving.
A Work Environment Under Pressure: Psychosocial Job Demands and Resources Among Saturation Divers
This study aimed to explore which job demands and resources are viewed as characteristic among saturation divers working within an isolated and confined environment.
Outreach
Can you survive if you run out of air? (BBC Future)
Science tells us the human body can only survive for a few minutes without oxygen. But some people are defying this accepted truth.
NTNU-forsker med på stort gjennombrudd: Vet hvorfor dykkersyke oppstår (NRK Viten)
Forskere har lett etter svaret i mer enn hundre år. Nå får den spesielle oppdagelsen stor internasjonal oppmerksomhet.
Stort gjennombrudd i forskning på dykkersyke (Gemini)
Forsker ved NTNU fant ut hva som skjer i genene hos dykkere med trykkfallsyke. Gjennombruddet får stor internasjonal oppmerksomhet etter mer enn hundre år med leting etter årsakene til dykkersyke.
