About
I have background as PhD candidate, researcher, university lecturer, and Postdoctor from the Clinical Neuroscience Research Group, Department of Psychology at the University of Oslo. I am authorised as clinical psychologist and have former- and on-going clinical practise.
Depression represents one of the largest sources of disability worldwide, is challenging to treat effectively, and very commonly recurs even when it is treated. Understanding mechanisms in individual trajectories that may lead to the prevention of consolidating depression symptoms is of crucial importance.
The ultimate goal of my research is to translate, and integrate research from genomics, neuroimaging and psychology to facilitate prevention and treatment of major depression. As Associate professor at the Faculty of Health Sciences, OsloMet, (since Q4 2018) I am aiming to establish an international and interdiciplinary research group with depression and related health complaints as thematic focus.
