His research focuses on adrenal insufficiency, Addison’s disease, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, cortisol diagnostics, and the interplay between glucocorticoid metabolism and conditions like obesity and psychiatric disorders. He employs advanced techniques such as LC-MS/MS for multisteroid profiling to improve diagnostic accuracy.
The recent publications highlight a strong emphasis on refining diagnostic protocols for adrenal disorders, developing novel hydrocortisone delivery methods, and exploring biomarkers in autoimmune and metabolic conditions. Key themes include circadian cortisol rhythms, tissue-level steroid metabolism, and non-invasive testing using saliva.
Scientific Contributions:
- Supervised doctoral research on adrenal diagnostics
- Developed LC-MS/MS assays for steroid profiling
- Investigated cortisol metabolism in psychiatric and metabolic diseases
He has contributed to studies on bariatric surgery effects on glucocorticoids, autoimmune Addison’s disease, and adrenal incidentalomas. His collaborative network includes researchers across Norway and internationally, particularly in endocrinology and psychiatry. While no formal awards are listed, his extensive publication record in high-impact journals underscores his scientific impact. He is actively involved in clinical and translational research, with no indication of retirement or part-time status.
