Astrid Guldbrandsen

Astrid Guldbrandsen is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Educational Sciences and Humanities, University of Stavanger. Her work bridges educational research and biomedical sciences, with a focus on early childhood education, life skills in compulsory education, and proteomics in multiple sclerosis.

Her research interests span Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) in Scandinavian countries, where she leads systematic research mapping projects, and life skills education, with recent scoping reviews published in 2024. She also maintains a strong interdisciplinary presence in neuroproteomics, particularly in cerebrospinal fluid biomarker discovery for multiple sclerosis, contributing to the development of resources like the CSF-PR.

The recent publications reflect a dual trajectory: educational research on kindergarten systems and life skills, and ongoing contributions to proteomics methodology and disease mechanisms. This interdisciplinary breadth highlights a unique scholarly profile integrating health sciences and education policy.
