My research field involves persistent organic pollutants, metabolic diseases and blood biomarkers. 

In my PhD project I investigate the effects of persistent organic pollutants, inflammation and endocrine disruption on type 2 diabetes mellitus by using repeated measurements of the same individuals from The Tromsø Study. My project involves both labwork (measurement of inflammation markers, Luminex xMAP Technology) and statistical methods (linear mixed models, mediation analysis). 

• Receptors and transporters in the CNS as drug targets
• Molecular mechanisms and inhibition of bacterial and human zinc proteases
