Focus: The role of complement in thromboinflammation.

Bio

I am a professor/senior researcher/Deputy at the Norwegian Complement Research Group and Department senior consultant in medical biochemistry at the Diagnostic Clinic, Nordland Hospital Trust, Bodø, Norway. I am appointed as professor at the Institute of Clinical Medicine, UiT, The Arctic University of Tromsø, Norway.

My overall research aims are (1) to describe the role of complement, CD14 and Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in thromboinflammation and (2) to attenuate the thromboinflammation using highly specific inhibitors of the complement system, complement receptors, CD14 and TLRs.
