Terje Rootwelt-Revheim

Terje Rootwelt-Revheim is a Professor at the University of Oslo, affiliated with the Institute of Clinical Medicine and the Department of Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine. His research focuses on neonatal resuscitation, hypoxia-ischemia, mitochondrial diseases, and genetic metabolic disorders. He has contributed extensively to newborn screening programs and neuroprotective strategies in pediatric conditions.

• Specializations: Neonatal neuroprotection, sleep disorders, vitamin B12 deficiency, narcolepsy, metabolic genetics
• Key Collaborations: University of Oslo, Oslo University Hospital (OUS), international pediatric research networks

Research Themes: Dr. Rootwelt-Revheim’s work bridges clinical pediatrics and molecular neuroscience. He has investigated bilirubin-induced neurotoxicity, oxygen resuscitation protocols, and mitochondrial dysfunction in metabolic diseases. His studies often integrate genetic screening and population-based epidemiology.

Scientific Impact: His publications in journals like Sleep, Pediatric Neurology, and Molecular Genetics and Metabolism emphasize translational approaches. Notable contributions include studies on Vitamin B12 deficiency in infants, neuroprotective effects of hypothermia, and immune mechanisms in narcolepsy.
