My research interests are in molecular pathways that become dysregulated in cancer and dysregulation of osteoclasts in bone.
Originally from Norway, I graduated from the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies at The University of Edinburgh in 2003, during which time I also did an intercalated honours degree. After four years in mixed and small animal practice in Scotland I returned to the R(D)SVS to do a PhD in molecular oncology. I am currently a senior lecturer at the R(D)SVS in veterinary anatomy, and my research interests are the underlying mechanisms involved in the development of resistance to targeted therapeutics in cancer and conditions where there are dysregulation of osteoclasts causing pathological bone resorption.
Within the R(D)SVS and The Roslin Institute I have collaborations with Prof Colin Farquharson (The Bone Group), Dr Tom Burdon & Dr Jeff Schoenebeck.

Coursera MOOC Edivet: Do you have what it takes to be a veterinarian?
This course is for anyone interested in learning more about Veterinary Medicine, giving a “taster” of courses covered in the first year of a veterinary degree and an idea of what it is like to study Veterinary Medicine.
