Head of department 2017.

Education: MD 1996 (NTNU). PhD 2006 (NTNU). Specialist in paediatrics 2008.

Teaching subjects: General pediatrics. Pediatric endocrinology. Adolescent medicine.

Research: I am interested in basic research on growth of B-cell cancers (multiple myeloma, lymphoma, leukemia), and I am presently focusing on the phosphatase PRL-3's role in B-cell cancers. I am also involved in clinical research on diabetes mellitus, more specifically impaired awareness of hypoglycemia in children and adolescents with diabetes.
