Centre Manager, Senter for digitalt liv Norge
Senter for digitalt liv Norge (DLN) er et nasjonalt senter for digital bioteknologisk forskning, utdanning og innovasjon, finansiert av Norges forskningsråd siden 2016. Digitalt liv har som mål å bidra til ansvarlig og bærekraftig verdiskaping i Norge gjennom å danne synergier som går utenom de tradisjonelle disiplinære tilnærmingene. Vi jobber med å bygge en kultur for innovativ tenkning ved å knytte sammen samfunn, akademia og industri, og ved å utdanne en ny generasjon med transdisiplinære livsvitenskapsforskere. Vår visjon er åpen forskning og konvergens av bioteknologi og livsvitenskapsfag med datavitenskap, ingeniørfag, matematikk, fysikk og statistikk («big data») så vel som samfunnsvitenskapelige og humanistiske fag. Les mer om Digitalt liv-porteføljen av over 40 digitale bioteknologiprosjekter i Norge og det dedikerte rådgiverteamet vårt.
Faglig bakgrunn
Hjerneutviklingen hos barn påvirkes av miljøet. En oppvekst preget av omsorg, trygghet og mulighet for læring bidrar positivt. Motsatt kan hjerneutviklingen forstyrres av kjemikalier i miljøet — blant annet luftforurensning, tungmetaller, plantevernmidler, EE-avfall og tilhørende «cocktail-effekter». De tidligste årene av livet er preget av rask vekst og utvikling av hjernen (nevroplastisitet), som gjør barn spesielt sårbare overfor skadelige stoffer i miljøet. Nivået av miljøgifter barn eksponeres for varierer stort, og avhenger ofte av bosted og sosioøkonomisk status.
Jeg forsøker å bygge en bro mellom vår kunnskap om nevroutvikling og om miljøgifter, spesifikt i lys av global sosial ulikhet, i samarbeid med UNICEF og internasjonale partnere. Mer generelt søker jeg en bedre forståelse av hvordan tidlige opplevelser påvirker langsiktig helse og trivsel — spesielt hos barn som blir utsatt for biologiske, sosiale og miljømessige risikofaktorer tidlig i livet.
Som postdoc jobbet jeg ved NTNUs Center for Global Health Inequalities Research (CHAIN) med fokus på sosiale helseforskjeller blant barn og gravide. Jeg samarbeidet med UNICEF, hvor jeg co-ledet opprettelsen av det nye programmet "Healthy Environments for Healthy Children" som ble lansert i 2021, i tillegg til flere rapporter som fikk internasjonal mediadekning. Tidligere har jeg jobbet ved NTNUs Senter for tidlig hjerneutvikling og brukte hjerneavbildning for å se på langsiktige virkninger på hjernestrukturer, kognitive ferdigheter og adferd ved prematur fødsel.
Forskningsformidling
Jeg er interessert i vitenskapelig formidling for å bygge en bro mellom forskning og samfunnet. Jeg bidrar til forskningsformidling og er med i ledelsesteam for Little Things Matter som deler ut informasjon om miljøgifter og barnehelse (@LittleThingsMtr på Facebook, Instagram og Twitter). Forskningen min har blitt profilert av NRK og TV2, og jeg har skrevet vitenskapelig formidling på norsk, engelsk, tysk, spansk og fransk. Video på norsk.
