Siv Stakset Brenne

Siv Stakset Brenne is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the HUNT Research Centre, Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Her research focuses on early detection and prognosis prediction for colorectal cancer (CRC) using circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) and methylation markers.

Research Interests:

• Colorectal cancer risk assessment
• Liquid biopsy applications
• Pre-diagnostic biomarkers
• Population-based genetic epidemiology
• Methylation marker analysis
• Personalized oncology

Publication Trends: Brenne's work centers on ctDNA detection in CRC, demonstrating its potential for diagnosis up to two years earlier than clinical methods. She validates risk scores like LiFeCRC and investigates sex-specific risk factor variations. Her studies leverage the HUNT population cohort.

Collaborations: She collaborates with institutions such as the K.G. Jebsen Centre for Genetic Epidemiology and NTNU researchers including Poul Henning Madsen, Henrik Bygum Krarup, and Eivor Alette Laugsand.
