Kreft

Autofagi, celle signalering og genregulering med relevans for kreft,nevrodegenererende sykdommer og forsvar mot intracellulære infeksjoner.

Biomarkører i blod og kreftsvulster som kan gi informasjon om framtidig kreftsykdom, hvilken type kreftsykdom, prognose av kreftsykdommen, hvilken behandling som gir effekt og tilbakefall av kreftsykdom. 

Cell signalling and protein kinases regulation with relevance to cancer. Drug discovery for compunds with anti-cancer activities.

My research interest is mainly on etiological factors in female cancers. In the project "Women's Lifestyle and Health" we try to identify potentially modifiable risk factors for cancers of the breast, ovarian, endometrium, colorectum and skin, as well as for cardiovascular diseases (myocardial infarction, stroke) and overall mortality. I am also interested in factors affecting cancer survival. I coordinate the Ugandan collaboration on infections diseases and cancer, where we are studying the role of infectious agents such as HIV, human papilloma viruses (HPV), and EBV in the etiology of cancer of the cervix uteri, conjunctiva, and Burkitt’s Lymphoma, hormones and cancer, cancer research in developing countries.
