Solveig Løkhammer

As a PhD candidate at the University of Bergen, I work directly under Professor Stephanie Le Hellard in the "Epigenetics and Multiomics" group. In my PhD project, I also work closely with the Polimanti Lab, led by Assoc. Professor Renato Polimanti, Yale University, USA.

 My main interest is understanding complex disorders better, especially mental disorders, and the link between the human genome and phenome. To understand the relation, I study large datasets available through Biobanks, including different genetic ancestries using "-omics" methods like phenomics, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and epigenomics. 

As an MD, I have an overall reaching aim of these studies to lead us closer to precision medicine, both in diagnostics and treatment.
