My current research interest is focused mainly on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and development of new treatment of clonal myeloid malignancies in adults, especially myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). I am interested in the role of chemotaxis of various immune cells, including myeloid derived suppressor cells and the role of the bone marrow stem cell niche in the development and relapse of disease. Through collaboration with partners in the Nordic countries, I am also involved in the design of clinical trials and care programmes for patients with acquired and hereditary bone marrow disease, as well as conducting various clinical trials at Section for Hematology, Haukeland University Hospital.
Clinical Haematology with special experience in patients with chronic neutropenia and myeloid malignancies (MDS/AML).
