Research groups at IEMR

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.

Cataliotti group: The endocrine function of the heart

The main focus of our group is to study the role of hormones produced by the heart during the early stages of human cardiovascular and renal dysfunction.

Christensen group: Cellular and molecular biology of myocardial hypertrophy

We aim to develop novel therapeutic approaches and better diagnostic tools for heart failure through new knowledge about molecular mechanisms involved.

Louch group: Cardiomyocyte function in health and disease

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.

Tønnesen group: Myocardial remodeling and reverse remodeling in pressure overload

Our group is conducting experimental/translational research studying cardiac pathophysiology related to aortic stenosis and pressure overload.
