Prospective study of risk factors of multiple sclerosis in the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort

Epigenetic effects of medications during pregnancy and the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in childhood: Improving causal inference (UiORealArt)

The background for this project is a lack of knowledge about whether the use of medicines in pregnancy can affect the child's long-term development via epigenetic mechanisms.

Nye verktøy for tidlig predisposisjon til overvekt

Here, we present a research program that can identify novel obesity risk genes for detection of early childhood obesity and diabetes.

Re-thinking the programming hypothesis: Prenatal maternal stress, DNA methylation and child psychopathology. A sibling design

In this project we aim to examine DNAm as a potential biological pathway linking early life stress through to childhood and later adolescence, and to gain new knowledge on the role of DNA methylation (DNAm) in the risk of childhood psychopathology.

National surveillance of the HPV vaccination programme (project description)

The surveillance programme was established to monitor the vaccination coverage, effectiveness and safety of the HPV immunisation programme.

SUPPORT-SYSTEMS

Can decision-making processes for health systems strengthening and universal health coverage (UHC) be made more inclusive, responsive and accountable?

Prevent IBD. Prospective evaluation of early-life environmental triggers for pediatric inflammatory bowel disease

The overall aim of the study is to identify new and modifiable factors for future prevention of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).

TeraEpi: Teratogenicity of anti-seizure medication: the roles of epigenetics and folic acid supplements

Many anti-seizure medications are known to be teratogenic, however, underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Throug investigations of cord blood from children born of mothers with epilepsy, the TeraEpi project aims to unravel these mechanisms.

Fair financing for UHC

The project addresses procedural fairness in all areas of health financing for universal health coverage (UHC).

Reproduction, partner disruption and health

The main aim of the project is to understand the health consequences of changes in fertility patterns and partner disruption.

A retrospective assessment of protective GBS capsular polysaccharide levels in newborn Norwegian infants participating in the Norwegian Mother Child Cohort-Study

MoBaRheuma

The aim of the study is to increase the knowledge of the causes of inflammatory rheumatic disorders which enables disease prevention

May maternal vitamin D status in pregnancy relate to children's later health?

Re-thinking the programming hypothesis

DNA metylation in psychiatric disorders

TeraEpi

Relationship between in-person instruction and COVID-19 incidence among university students: A prospective cohort study

We will study the relationship between in-person instruction and COVID-19 risk by comparing students who are offered in-person instruction with those who are offered online instruction.

Teeth in Moba

The purpose of this project is to collect at least one deciduous tooth from as many children as possible who participate in the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa).

Pre- and postnatal environmental and genetic factors in relation to brain development

The primary objective of this project is to relate brain development by magnetic resonance intaging (MRi) to pre- and postnatal circumstances and functioning in several hundred children.

NorFlu

NorFlu is a research project that is investigating the possible consequences of having influenza A (H1N1) - swine flu - during pregnancy.
