Trond Lamark


Job description

Trond has been a member of Terje Johansen`s research group (now named Autophagy research group) since 2002. Before this, he obtained a Dr. scient degree (equivalent to PhD) in the research group of Arne Strøm at the Norwegian College of Fishery Science, University of Tromsø, where he investigated the molecular mechanisms utilized by bacteria to survive under osmotic stress. He also spent some time as postdoc on a fish-related project and as associate professor at the Department of Pharmacy, before joining the research group of Terje Johansen. Here, he worked as a researcher from 2002 to 2010 and became involved in the early studies of selective autophagy and the discovery p62 and NBR1 as the first selective autophagy receptors. Since 2011, he has had a permanent position as associate professor, and was promoted to professor in 2021.

    Research interests

    The main goal of the research group (including Trond) is to understand the molecular mechanisms utilized by cells to cope with stress, under normal conditions and in disease. The discovery of the first selective autophagy receptors in 2005 led the research into the autophagy field, and autophagy soon became their main interest. Autophagy was at that time considered a basically non-selective process and the pathological importance of autophagy was not fully realized. The identification of the first selective autophagy receptors coincided with an increased interest in autophagy research worldwide. The following research (including work by the autophagy research group) revealed the process to be highly selective. It soon became evident that reduced selective autophagy is associated with aging, and is implicated in several age-related pathologies, including neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and inflammation. Our understanding of selective autophagy is now at a different level compared to 20 years ago, but several important knowledge gaps exist, and the remaining goal is to fill these gaps with new knowledge. 

    Teaching

    Trond has “Universitetspedagogisk basiskompetanse” from UiT – the Arctic University of Tromsø, taken in 2019.

    He is teaching on a regular basis on several bachelor and master level courses at the Department of Medical Biology. He is currently annually teaching on the Bachelor courses MBI-2001 (Biokjemi), MBI-2012 (Molekylær cellebiologi - Cellestruktur), ERN-2004 (Ernæring, makro- og mikronæringsstoffer), and the Master course MBI-3004 (Cancer Biology).

    He is course leader on the Bachelor course MBI-2012 (Molekylær cellebiologi - Cellestruktur).

    He is a member of the “Biomedicine Bachelor and Master Programme board” and “Bachelor`s degree Programme board”, both at the Department of Medical Biology, UiT.

    He is course leader on two Nordic PhD courses, i. e. MBI-8007 and MBI-8008 (Molecular and Clinical Aspects of Cancer; Block I and II).

    He is involved in supervision (as main or co-supervisor) for PhD students, Master Students and Bachelor students in the Autophagy Research Group.
