About
Jorunn M. Andersen is a biomedical laboratory scientist and has a PhD in biomedicine. She is head of the research group Reproductive Health in Men, in collaboration with Viola Lobert (TKD). Jorunn has extensive research experience in the field of male reproductive health, and her doctoral work dealt with sperm quality in the context of obesity, hormone levels and fatty acid composition in sperm. In recent years, sperm quality, semen analyses, and the development and use of artificial intelligence in laboratory analyses have been focus areas.
Jorunn has a strong commitment to teaching. She is program coordinator for the Master's program in Health and Technology at the Faculty of Health Sciences, and teaches at the specialization in biomedicine. She also teaches in several courses at the Bachelor of Biomedical Laboratory Sciences, with emphasis on the subject area of Medical Biochemistry. She is a member of the Advisory Committee for Medical Biochemistry, which is part of NITO and The Norwegian institute of biomedical Science.
