Research & Development

Current research collaborations and a selection of our team's impact in the field of precision medicine. 

Research Collaborations 

2023-2025 EU Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme
SME Partner, Funding under Grant agreement ID: 964874 
Using real-world big data from eHealth, biobanks and national registries, integrated with clinical trial data to improve outcome of severe mental disorders.

With a large number of patients lacking efficient treatment options, mental disorders represent one of the biggest burdens for the European healthcare system. Current treatments are based on a trial-and-error approach; as multi-morbidities are frequent, this often leads to polypharmacy and poor outcomes. The EU-funded REALMENT project aims to optimise the treatment of mental disorders through novel precision medicine strategies based on current pharmaceutical options. The project's efforts will bring world-leading research institutes and the pharmaceutical industry at the forefront of mental disorder research.

Predicting comorbid cardiovascular disease in individuals with mental disorder by decoding disease mechanisms. 

Comorbid cardiovascular disease in cases of severe mental disorders is a major public health concern. Recent findings show that genetic variations that affect the brain and increase the risk of mental disorders also impact lifestyle and behaviour that increase risk of cardiovascular disease. The EU-funded project CoMorMent will investigate mechanisms underlying the higher incidence of cardiovascular disease in people with mental disorders. The study will take advantage of 1.8 million genotyped biobank samples from national registries with information about disease trajectories and comorbidity. It will uncover the underlying molecular mechanisms by identifying structural brain changes and body fat composition in combination with gene expression and functional studies. Ultimately, this project will help to create the basis for a new approach in clinical studies by providing precision medicine tools to deal with a major public health issue.

2023-2027 The Research Council of Norway:  Collaborative & Knowledge-building Project - Funding under Project Nr: 344121
Multimodal digital avatar tools for early diagnosis of dementia in municipalities

The main aim is to enable the municipality health service to meet the increasing demand for early diagnosis of dementia and position the Norwegian healthcare sector for emerging treatment alternatives. This will provide a person with dementia a timely and precise diagnosis, enabling earlier interventions and personalized healthcare.
