Presentations from our Institute which got the first prize during the 16th Annual CHFR Symposium:
Kate Herum winner of Session II: "Syndecan-4 shedding exposes OPN to cleavage by thrombin thereby promoting fibrosis in late phase cardiac remodeling following pressure overload",
was represented by second author Andreas Romaine.
Emil Espe winner of Session V, presented: "A noninvasive index of regional myocardial power using MRI"
Other poster presentations from our Institute ranked top 3 in their sessions, were presented by Sabrina Mathiesen, Arne Olav Melleby, Yufeng Hou and Henriette Andresen and Mari Elen Strand.
Congratulations!

K.G. Jebsen Centre for Cardiac Research is directed by Professor Ivar Sjaastad: "Our primary objective is to better understand the mechanisms of heart failure. Specifically, we will identify mechanisms regulating myocardial stiffness, and new therapeutic targets of diastolic dysfunction."
The centre comprises six research groups at University of Oslo; of which three are located at Ullevål Hospital, two at Rikshospitalet and one at Radiumhospitalet.
Group leaders: Ivar Sjaastad (Centre leader), Geir Christensen, (Deputy leader), William E. Louch, Camilla Raiborg, Thor Edvardsen and Lars Gullestad
Associated partners: Alessandro Cataliotti, Llewelyn Roderick (University of Cambridge), Joakim Sundnes (Simula) and Kjetil Taskén
Administrative coordinator: Emil Espe

Institute for Experimental
Medical Research (IEMR)
use cutting edge technologies to better understand the mechanisms of heart failure.
Our method competency is comprehensive, and streches from clinical studies to investigation of individual biomolecules.
OUR VISION
Excellent science reveals the secrets of the failing heart
OUR AIMS
Find novel targets for the treatment of heart failure patients.
Develop and employ cutting edge technologies to understand the mechanisms of heart failure.
Recruit and educate PhD and medical students to become tomorrow’s scientific experts.
