Occupational exposure to bioaerosols, seafood allergens, seafood proteases in marine biobased industries; protease-activated receptors; occupational asthma, allergy and other hypersensitivty reactions in seafood industry

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

Pharmacology and toxicology

G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) - Neuropharmacology - Basic pharmacology

In silico methods (homology modelling, docking and scoring, molecular dynamics simulations (MD simulations), virtual screening)

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). 

Experimental pharmacology and physiology during hypothermia.

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