Academic interests
Currently, I am enrolled as a doctoral student at the University of Oslo, Faculty of Medicine. I am engaged in research within the fields of organ donation and physiology, with a specific focus on mitochondrial function.
Project objectives:
- To characterize and enhance mitochondrial function during machine perfusion in order to better preserve liver and heart organs for transplantation.
- To identify prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers in the context of heart and liver transplantation.
- To improve machine perfusion of heart and liver organs through the utilization of animal models.
