The KG Jebsen Center for Cardiac Research hosted by IEMR aims to identify key factors responsible for diastolic dysfunction.
Carlson group: Molecular mechanisms of signal transduction in heart
Our group aims to identify molecular mechanisms underlying the development of cardiac disease and to develop novel therapeutic approaches to block disease progression.

Louch group:
Cardiomyocyte function in health and disease
Our research is aimed at understanding abnormal cellular calcium handling, with focus on the structures and proteins that control calcium cycling.
Sjaastad group:
Advanced translational cardiac imaging
The aim of our group is to develop new advanced cardiac imaging tools, to exploit these and understand the remodelling process occurring in cardiac diseases, and search for new imaging biomarkers predicting adverse disease outcome.

Stokke group: Translational arrhythmology and electrophysiology
We aim to understand processes that lead to cardiac disease due to pathological electrophysiology, especially arrhythmias. Our goal is that this insight will lead to improved diagnostics and therapy for patients with cardiac disease.
