Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Oslo University Hospital Ullevaal and Institute for Experimental Medical Research, Oslo University Hospital Ullevaal
Current research focus
Examine mechanisms regulating myocardial remodeling and to study the process of reverse remodeling following reduction in wall stress after relieving pressure overload of the left ventricle.
Research projects
Supervisor
- New aspects in myocardial remodeling and dysfunction due to left ventricular pressure overload
- Small leucine rich proteoglycans and reverse remodelling of cardiac extracellular matrix
- Lack of collagen type VIII induces eccentric remodeling and alterations of ECM response in pressure overload
