Specializations
Cardiovascular Medicine
The investigator focuses on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, atrial fibrillation and various forms of heart failure, addressing both acute events such as myocardial infarction and chronic management of vascular risk.
- Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)
- Atrial fibrillation in chronic kidney disease
- Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
- Ischemic stroke prevention
- Venous thromboembolism
Primary clinical activities are conducted at Akershus University Hospital in Lorenskog, Norway.
Hepatology & Metabolic Liver Disease
Research efforts target progressive liver conditions including non‑alcoholic steatohepatitis and cholestatic disorders such as primary sclerosing cholangitis and primary biliary cholangitis, often linked to metabolic risk factors.
- Non‑Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH)
- Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC)
- Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC)
- Liver fibrosis and cirrhosis
- Metabolic syndrome associated liver disease
The work integrates hepatology expertise within the Division of Medicine.
Oncology & Hematology
Clinical investigations span solid tumors and hematologic malignancies, encompassing breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and blood cancers such as acute myeloid leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
- Breast cancer (including triple‑negative)
- Non‑small cell lung cancer
- Colorectal carcinoma
- Acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
- Metastatic prostate cancer
The oncology portfolio supports both early‑stage and advanced disease settings.
Pulmonary & Respiratory Disorders
Investigations include chronic and interstitial lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and immune‑mediated conditions like pulmonary sarcoidosis.
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)
- Active pulmonary sarcoidosis
- Severe asthma with eosinophilic phenotype
- Respiratory infections (including COVID‑19)
These studies aim to improve outcomes for patients with progressive respiratory pathology.
Neurology & Neurodegenerative Diseases
The investigator engages in research on neurocognitive and neurodegenerative disorders, notably Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and various forms of dementia.
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
- Dementia with Lewy bodies
- Mild cognitive impairment
- Major depressive disorder
Efforts are directed toward understanding disease mechanisms and therapeutic potential.
