She explores genetic factors (e.g., GABRG2, GABAA subunits), physiological markers (e.g., IL-6, prolactin), and behavioral interventions (e.g., physical activity, multifaceted treatment approaches). Her work often involves cross-disciplinary collaborations and emphasizes population-based studies in Norway.
Key Focus Areas:
- Comorbid mental and physical health in AUD patients
- Role of inflammation and genetics in mental distress
- Behavioral interventions for depression and anxiety
- Impact of substance use patterns on long-term outcomes
