Mari Løset
Løset, Postdoctoral Fellow and Dermatology Resident, works with genetic studies using data from HUNT in combination with regional- and national health registries, and RNA sequencing data from psoriasis-related skin samples. She aims to reveal novel mechanisms for inflammatory skin diseases and to translate these insights into prevention strategies and treatments.
Løset has established a psoriasis biobank for genetic studies and is Group Leader of Clinical Transcriptomics at the K.G. Jebsen Center for Genetic Epidemiology.
