Jeg er valgt som dekan for Det medisinske fakultet for perioden 1.1.2023 til 31.12.2026. Jeg ser frem til samarbeidet både med dere som arbeider eller studerer hos oss og andre partnere.

Fakultetsledelsen - Det medisinske fakultet (uio.no) har i løpet av 2023 utviklet Strategi for Det medisinske fakultet - Det medisinske fakultet (uio.no). Vår visjon er Fremragende kunnskap for fremtidens helse, og fakultet har tre hovedmål:

Det medisinske fakultet skal tilby fremragende helseutdanning for et bærekraftig samfunn.
Det medisinske fakultet skal tilrettelegge for innovasjon og fremragende, relevant og banebrytende forskning.
Det medisinske fakultet skal være en utviklende organisasjon og et attraktivt arbeids- og studiested i tett dialog med omverdenen.

I dette arbeidet vektlegger vårt dekanat følgende:

Synliggjøre: Vi vil benytte samarbeids- og kommunikasjonsformer som sikrer åpne prosesser og gjør arbeidet ved Det medisinske fakultet mer synlig både innad i organisasjonen og utad overfor befolkningen og våre samarbeidspartnere.
Involvere og samarbeide: Vi vil stimulere til samarbeid både internt og med eksterne partnere. Vi vil legge til rette for at flere ansatte og studenter blir involvert i utviklingen og styringen av fakultetet.
Beslutte, gjennomføre, evaluere: Vi vil forankre beslutninger i åpne, tidsavgrensede prosesser, gjennomføre tiltak, evaluere resultater og ved behov følge opp med nødvendige korreksjoner.

Mine faglige interesser

Min grunnstilling er som professor II ved Nevrologisk avdeling, Institutt for klinisk medisin ved Det medisinske fakultet, Universitetet i Oslo og overlege ved Nevrologisk avdeling, Nevroklinikken, Oslo universitetssykehus (OUS). Jeg har i dekan-perioden permisjon fra denne stillingen.

Jeg har bred leder-erfaring både fra universitet, sykehus, forskning i store internasjonale nettverk og fra arbeid i faglig interesseorganisasjon (Hjernerådet), og jeg er som leder spesielt opptatt av å utvikle gode samarbeid og gode team.

Både som professor i nevrologi ved Institutt for klinisk medisin og som overlege og senere avdelingsleder ved Nevrologisk avdeling, Oslo universitetssykehus har jeg hatt en bred interesse for helsespørsmål, forskning, utdanning og ledelse generelt og hjernehelse og nevrologiske tilstander spesielt.

Også i min stilling som nestleder og stedfortreder for instituttleder ved Institutt for klinisk medisin, Det medisinske fakultet, UiO i 2015-2018, har jeg erfaring fra mange områder innen Det medisinske fakultet og UiO.

Jeg har også ledet paraplyorganisasjonen Hjernerådet og et arbeid som førte frem til lanseringen av den første norske hjernehelse-strategien.

Jeg har både klinisk og forskningsmessig arbeidet mest med utredning og behandling av inflammatoriske sykdommer i det sentrale nervesystemet, spesielt multippel sklerose (MS).

Jeg er blant forskningsgruppelederne som samarbeider om MS-forskning ved UiO / OUS. Jeg arbeider med translasjonsforskning og leder studier som sammenstiller kliniske-, genetiske-, molekylære- og MRI-analyser. De senere årene har vi også arbeidet mye med kliniske behandlingsstudier.

Jeg har vært den norske PI i internasjonale forskningsnettverk/prosjekter som det EU-Horizon 2020-finansierte prosjektet "MultipleMS", International Multiple Sclerosis Genetics Consortium – IMSGC og MS MAGNIMS (Magnetic Resonance Imaging in MS), og jeg har hatt og har en rekke verv både i norske og internasjonale komiteer.

Changes is lymphocyte subpopulations in peripheral blood have been proposed as biomarkers for evaluation of disease activity in multiple sclerosis (MS). Serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) is a biomarker reflecting neuro-axonal injury in MS that could be used to monitor disease activity, response to drugs and to prognosticate disease course. Here we show a moderate correlation between sNfL and lymphocyte cell subpopulations, and our data furthermore suggest that sNfL and specific immune cell subpopulations together could predict future disease worsening in MS.

Background The predictive value of serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) on long-term prognosis in multiple sclerosis (MS) is still unclear. Objective Investigate the relation between sNfL levels over a 2-year period in patients with relapsing-remitting MS, and clinical disability and grey matter (GM) atrophy after 10 years. Methods 85 patients, originally enrolled in a multicentre, randomised trial of ω−3 fatty acids, participated in a 10-year follow-up visit. sNfL levels were measured by Simoa quarterly until month 12, and then at month 24. The appearance of new gadolinium-enhancing (Gd+) lesions was assessed monthly between baseline and month 9, and then at months 12 and 24. At the 10-year follow-up visit, brain atrophy measures were obtained using FreeSurfer. Results Higher mean sNfL levels during early periods of active inflammation (Gd+ lesions present or recently present) predicted lower total (β=−0.399, p=0.040) and deep (β=−0.556, p=0.010) GM volume, lower mean cortical thickness (β=−0.581, p=0.010) and higher T2 lesion count (β=0.498, p=0.018). Of the clinical outcomes, higher inflammatory sNfL levels were associated with higher disability measured by the dominant hand Nine-Hole Peg Test (β=0.593, p=0.004). Mean sNfL levels during periods of remission (no Gd+ lesions present or recently present) did not predict GM atrophy or disability progression. Conclusion Higher sNfL levels during periods of active inflammation predicted more GM atrophy and specific aspects of clinical disability 10 years later. The findings suggest that subsequent long-term GM atrophy is mainly due to neuroaxonal degradation within new lesions.

Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune, neurodegenerative disorder with a strong genetic component that acts in a complex interaction with environmental factors for disease development. CD4+ T cells are pivotal players in MS pathogenesis, where peripherally activated T cells migrate to the central nervous system leading to demyelination and axonal degeneration. Through a proteomic approach, we aim at identifying dysregulated pathways in activated T cells from MS patients as compared to healthy controls. Methods CD4+ T cells were purified from peripheral blood from MS patients and healthy controls by magnetic separation. Cells were left unstimulated or stimulated in vitro through the TCR and costimulatory CD28 receptor for 24 h prior to sampling. Electrospray liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to measure protein abundances. Results Upon T cell activation the abundance of 1801 proteins was changed. Among these proteins, we observed an enrichment of proteins expressed by MS-susceptibility genes. When comparing protein abundances in T cell samples from healthy controls and MS patients, 18 and 33 proteins were differentially expressed in unstimulated and stimulated CD4+ T cells, respectively. Moreover, 353 and 304 proteins were identified as proteins exclusively induced upon T cell activation in healthy controls and MS patients, respectively and dysregulation of the Nur77 pathway was observed only in samples from MS patients. Conclusions Our study highlights the importance of CD4+ T cell activation for MS, as proteins that change in abundance upon T cell activation are enriched for proteins encoded by MS susceptibility genes. The results provide evidence for proteomic disturbances in T cell activation in MS, and pinpoint to dysregulation of the Nur77 pathway, a biological pathway known to limit aberrant effector T cell responses.

Background: Long-term cognitive problems after neuroborreliosis treatment remain a subject of debate. We have previously shown that cognitive problems are not present in the acute phase of neuroborreliosis, although fatigue is common. The aim of this study was to re-assess the same patient cohort and evaluate long-term outcomes. Methods: In this follow-up, we re-assessed 58 patients with well-characterized neuroborreliosis 12 months after completing treatment. The same protocol with eight subtests measuring attention and processing speed and the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) were used to compare the results from the acute phase to 12 months post treatment. Results: We found no changes in attention or processing speed but a reduction in the level of fatigue (median score on FSS: 4.9 vs. 3.9, p < .001) from the acute phase to 12 months post treatment. Conclusion: The patient group did not develop problems with attention or processing speed post treatment, while the level of fatigue decreased.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune, neurological disease. We investigated genome-wide DNA methylation profiles of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from MS patients and healthy controls at baseline and a follow-up visit. Patients were all treatment-naïve at baseline, and either on treatment or remained untreated at the follow-up visit. MS patients show more changes in their T cell DNA methylation profiles as compared to healthy controls over time, with the most pronounced differences observed in the untreated MS patients. These findings underline the potential of DNA methylation as biomarkers in MS.

The discrepancy between chronological age and the apparent age of the brain based on neuroimaging data — the brain age delta — has emerged as a reliable marker of brain health. With an increasing wealth of data, approaches to tackle heterogeneity in data acquisition are vital. To this end, we compiled raw structural magnetic resonance images into one of the largest and most diverse datasets assembled (n=53542), and trained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to predict age. We achieved state-of-the-art performance on unseen data from unknown scanners (n=2553), and showed that higher brain age delta is associated with diabetes, alcohol intake and smoking. Using transfer learning, the intermediate representations learned by our model complemented and partly outperformed brain age delta in predicting common brain disorders. Our work shows we can achieve generalizable and biologically plausible brain age predictions using CNNs trained on heterogeneous datasets, and transfer them to clinical use cases.

Background: Low vitamin D levels, tobacco use and high body mass index (BMI) have been linked to adverse disease outcomes in multiple sclerosis (MS), but their influence on long-term disability progression remains unclear. Therefore, we explored whether these modifiable lifestyle factors were associated with 10-year clinical disability progression in patients with MS. Methods: In this prospective study, a cohort of 88 patients with relapsing-remitting MS completed a randomized controlled study on ω-3 fatty acids between 2004 and 2008. During 24 months, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH)D), serum cotinine (nicotine metabolite), and BMI were repeatedly measured. In 2017, a follow-up study was conducted among 80 of the participants, including disability assessment by the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). Linear regression was used to explore associations between the lifestyle factors and the EDSS change over 10 years. Results: Higher seasonally adjusted 25(OH)D levels were associated with lower 10-year EDSS progression (change in EDSS per 1 SD increase in 25(OH)D in a model adjusted for sex, age and baseline EDSS: -0.45 point, 95% CI: -0.75 to -0.16, p=0.003). Further adjustments for potential confounders related to lifestyle and disease status gave similar results. The association was mainly driven by low 25(OH)D levels during spring, as well as seasonally adjusted levels below 80 nmol/L. No clear association was found for BMI and cotinine. Conclusion: Lower 25(OH)D levels, but apparently not tobacco use or higher BMI, were significantly associated with worse long-term disability progression in MS.

Brainstem regions support vital bodily functions, yet their genetic architectures and involvement in common brain disorders remain understudied. Here, using imaging-genetics data from a discovery sample of 27,034 individuals, we identify 45 brainstem-associated genetic loci, including the first linked to midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata volumes, and map them to 305 genes. In a replication sample of 7432 participants most of the loci show the same effect direction and are significant at a nominal threshold. We detect genetic overlap between brainstem volumes and eight psychiatric and neurological disorders. In additional clinical data from 5062 individuals with common brain disorders and 11,257 healthy controls, we observe differential volume alterations in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, multiple sclerosis, mild cognitive impairment, dementia, and Parkinson’s disease, supporting the relevance of brainstem regions and their genetic architectures in common brain disorders.

We analyzed genetic data of 47,429 multiple sclerosis (MS) and 68,374 control subjects and established a reference map of the genetic architecture of MS that includes 200 autosomal susceptibility variants outside the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), one chromosome X variant, and 32 variants within the extended MHC. We used an ensemble of methods to prioritize 551 putative susceptibility genes that implicate multiple innate and adaptive pathways distributed across the cellular components of the immune system. Using expression profiles from purified human microglia, we observed enrichment for MS genes in these brain-resident immune cells, suggesting that these may have a role in targeting an autoimmune process to the central nervous system, although MS is most likely initially triggered by perturbation of peripheral immune responses

A meta-analysis of publicly available summary statistics on multiple sclerosis combined with three Nordic multiple sclerosis cohorts (21,079 cases, 371,198 controls) revealed seven sequence variants associating with multiple sclerosis, not reported previously. Using polygenic risk scores based on public summary statistics of variants outside the major histocompatibility complex region we quantified genetic overlap between common autoimmune diseases in Icelanders and identified disease clusters characterized by autoantibody presence/absence. As multiple sclerosis-polygenic risk scores captures the risk of primary biliary cirrhosis and vice versa (P = 1.6 x 10(-7), 4.3 x 10(-9)) we used primary biliary cirrhosis as a proxy-phenotype for multiple sclerosis, the idea being that variants conferring risk of primary biliary cirrhosis have a prior probability of conferring risk of multiple sclerosis. We tested 255 variants forming the primary biliary cirrhosis-polygenic risk score and found seven multiple sclerosis-associating variants not correlated with any previously established multiple sclerosis variants. Most of the variants discovered are close to or within immune-related genes. One is a low-frequency missense variant in TYK2, another is a missense variant in MTHFR that reduces the function of the encoded enzyme affecting methionine metabolism, reported to be dysregulated in multiple sclerosis brain.

To investigate the genetics of late-onset myasthenia gravis (LOMG), we conducted a genome-wide association study imputation of >6 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 532 LOMG cases (anti–acetylcholine receptor [AChR] antibody positive; onset age ≥50 years) and 2,128 controls matched for sex and population substructure. The data confirm reported TNFRSF11A associations (rs4574025, P = 3.9 × 10–7, odds ratio [OR] 1.42) and identify a novel candidate gene, ZBTB10, achieving genome-wide significance (rs6998967, P = 8.9 × 10–10, OR 0.53). Several other SNPs showed suggestive significance including rs2476601 (P = 6.5 × 10–6, OR 1.62) encoding the PTPN22 R620W variant noted in early-onset myasthenia gravis (EOMG) and other autoimmune diseases. In contrast, EOMG-associated SNPs in TNIP1 showed no association in LOMG, nor did other loci suggested for EOMG. Many SNPs within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region showed strong associations in LOMG, but with smaller effect sizes than in EOMG (highest OR ~2 versus ~6 in EOMG). Moreover, the strongest associations were in opposite directions from EOMG, including an OR of 0.54 for DQA1*05:01 in LOMG (P = 5.9 × 10–12) versus 2.82 in EOMG (P = 3.86 × 10–45). Association and conditioning studies for the MHC region showed three distinct and largely independent association peaks for LOMG corresponding to (a) MHC class II (highest attenuation when conditioning on DQA1), (b) HLA-A and (c) MHC class III SNPs. Conditioning studies of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) amino acid residues also suggest potential functional correlates. Together, these findings emphasize the value of subgrouping myasthenia gravis patients for clinical and basic investigations and imply distinct predisposing mechanisms in LOMG.

Familial clustering of autoimmune disease is well recognized and raises the possibility that some susceptibility genes may predispose to autoimmunity in general. In light of this observation, it might be expected that some of the variants of established relevance in one autoimmune disease may also be relevant in other related conditions. On the basis of this hypothesis, we tested seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are known to be associated with type I diabetes in a large multiple sclerosis data set consisting of 2369 trio families, 5737 cases and 10,296 unrelated controls. Two of these seven SNPs showed evidence of association with multiple sclerosis; that is rs12708716 from the CLEC16A gene (P=1.6 x 10(-16)) and rs763361 from the CD226 gene (P=5.4 x 10(-8)). These findings thereby identify two additional multiple sclerosis susceptibility genes and lend support to the notion of autoimmune susceptibility genes.

Objectives - Multiple sclerosis (MS)likely results form an interaction between genetic and exogenous factors. While genetics shapes the overall population MS susceptibility, observed epidemiological patterns strongly suggest a role for the environment in disease initiation and modulation. Results - Findings from studies on seasonality in MS patient`s birth, disease onset and exacerbations, as well as apparent temporal trends in incidence and gender ratio support an influential effect og viruses, metabolic and lifestyle factors on MS risk. Epstein-Barr virus, vitamin D status, and smoking are factors that may explain such epidemiological patterns. Conclusions - Further epidemiological investigations are encouraged and opportunities to use data from existing cohort studies as well as the design of new studies shold be pursued. In particular, the development of new large multicentre population-based case control studies which incorporate the study of the role of environment and genetics, including epigenetic mechanisms, in determining MS risk in proposed.

A familial clustering of autoimmune disease is well recognised and suggests that some susceptibility genes may predispose to autoimmunity in general whereas other genes lead to specific disease. On the basis of this hypothesis it may be expected that variants of established relevance in one autoimmune disease might also be relevant in other related conditions. To investigate this we tested seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are known to be associated with type I diabetes in a large multiple sclerosis dataset consisting of 2,369 trio families, 5,737 cases and 10,296 unrelated controls. Samples were recruited from across six countries: Australia, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom (UK) and the United States of America (USA) within the IMSGC. Two of these seven SNPs emerged as also being associated with multiple sclerosis; rs12708716 from the C-type lectin domain family 16, member A (CLEC16A) gene (p=1.6x10-15) and rs763361 from the CD226 gene (p=5.4x10-8). In each case the allele associated with increased risk for multiple sclerosis was identical to that showing evidence for association with T1D. These findings thereby confirm two additional multiple sclerosis susceptibility genes and lend support to the notion of commonality amongst autoimmune susceptibility genes.

Protection against multiple sclerosis conferred by carriage of the inhibitory killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) ligand HLA-Bw4. Vis sammendrag
Background: Combinations of killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) and HLA class I ligands that reduce natural killer (NK) cells inhibition may increase the risk of autoimmune diseases. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is affecting the central nervous system and is presumed to be an autoimmune disease. There are significant genetic associations to genes in the HLA class II region (DRB1*1501-haplotype),but associations to genes in the HLA class I region have also been reported (for instance A2, A3 and Cw*05). We investigated whether there might be associations to given KIRs and/or their HLA class I ligands . Materials and methods: 631 Norwegian MS patients and 555 Norwegian controls were typed for the presence or absence of genes encoding inhibiting KIRs (KIR2DL1, KIR2DL2, KIR2DL3, KIR2DL5, KIR3DL1, KIR3DL2 and KIR3DL3) and activating KIRs (KIR2DS1, KIR2DS2, KIR2DS3, KIR2DS4, KIR2DS5 and KIR2DL4) using sequence specific primers. HLA-A, -B, -C and –DRB1 typing was performed by direct sequencing or sequence specific primers. Results: We found no significant differences in gene carrier frequencies of inhibitory and activating KIRs in MS patients as compared to controls when p-values were adjusted for number of KIR genes investigated. However, the frequency of the HLA-Bw4 specificity was significantly reduced in MS patients as compared to controls (41.5% vs. 55.1%, p=4.9*10-6), even in individuals who did not carry any of the known HLA class II risk alleles (DRB1*1501,DRB1*03 and DRB1*01, p=0.002). No HLA class II independent associations were observed to genes at the HLA-C or HLA -A loci. Conclusion: The presence of the HLA-Bw4 specificity seems to protect against MS in an HLA class II independent manner. Ongoing analyses aim to characterize possible interaction effects between HLA-Bw4 and KIR3DL1 and KIR3DS1, as well as between HLA-C1 and C2 groups and their corresponding receptors.
