Short info
Postdoctor at Department of Clinical Science at University of Bergen, and working as a consultant at the Emergency Care Clinic, Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen.
Research
Interested in obesity, sex differences, the female heart and hypertension. Currently exploring proteomics and inflammation in this contex. In addition, doing data collection in the FATCOR follow-up study, including echocardiography and ergospirometry.
Outreach
ESC 2024: Poster presentation: Sex-biased protemic regulation in obesity.
