Therese Haugdahl Nøst
Job description
I serve as Deputy Head of Research at the Department of Community Medicine. I am also part of the Systemsepidemiology research group and my research interests are in the fields of molecular and environmental epidemiology. My research focuses on identifying and studying biomarkers measurable in blood that can enhance our understanding of disease mechanisms and how environmental exposures can influence the human body.
A particular focus of my research has been on so-called ' omics markers' such as genetic variants, gene expression and DNA methylation, that are markers linking environmental exposures to systemic biological responses and disease development, especially in the context of cancer. In addition, I have contributed to several projects investigating exposure to and the health effects of environmental contaminants.
