I am an associate professor at Nord University's Department of Pharmacy and an adjunct associate professor at the Institute of Biomedicine, University of Bergen. My work spans translational oncology, biopharmaceutical development, and gene therapy for malignant tumors. Equally, I am committed to research-based teaching in pharmacy, medicine, nursing and biomedicine — coordinating courses at both institutions, supervising students from bachelor to PhD level, and integrating active learning and course-based research experiences into my pedagogy.
- Course Coordinator and Lecturer: Cellebiologi og mikrobiologi (FAR1018)
- Lecturer:
- Cellebiologi, mikrobiologi og fysiologi (FAR1013)
- Farmasøyten i samfunnet (FAR2022)
- Farmasøytiske temaer i akvakultur (FAR2022)
- Farmakologi I (FAR2026)
- Farmakologi II (FAR2018)
- Farmakologi, legemiddelhåndtering og legemiddelregning (PAR1014)
My research focuses on translational oncology and biopharmaceutical development, with a focus on advanced therapeutic modalities for malignant tumors. I engineer and evaluate lentiviral vector-based gene therapies in various in vitro and in vivo models. My work also spans targeted gene delivery, anti-cancer immunotherapy, investigation of cell death mechanism and intracellular trafficking relevant to biopharmaceutical optimization. Affiliated with the Department of Pharmacy at Nord University and the Institute of Biomedicine at the University of Bergen, I conduct internationally collaborative, preclinical research aimed at advancing novel gene medicines toward clinical translation.
