About the group
Through high-quality prospective cohort studies, randomized controlled studies and cross-sectional studies the group targets identification of risk factors, understanding mechanisms, optimising diagnostics and management, as well as preventing development of allergic diseases, asthma and other chronic lung diseases.
Through collaboration with basic research environments in and outside Norway, we work within translational aspects of early origins of non-communicable diseases, including targeted areas such as microbiota, environment, immune-function development, nutrients, as well as fetal- and pregnancy-related factors that may impact later disease.
ORAACLE, formally established in 2005, includes senior researchers/project managers, PhD students and others with collaboration across professions, institutions, nationally and internationally.
Through large, prospective cohorts, including birth cohorts, the group has generated vast databases focusing on the detailed information from early life, available to researchers across studies and projects. ORAACLE is based within the Department of child and adolescent allergy and pulmonology, division of child and adolescent medicine, OUS/UiO.
Projects
Central ongoing research projects originating from ORAACE include:
- PreventADALL (Preventing Atopic Dermatitis and ALLergies in children)
- NAPiC (Norwegian Antibiotics for Pneumonia in Children)
- Take-away peanut allergy study
- Primary ciliary dyskinesia prevalence and diagnostics
- Mechanical cough assistance in children with neurodisabilities
- SPACE (Severe Pediatric Asthma Collaborative in Europe)
The group also participates in (or collaborates with) multi-center trials nationally and internationally.
Cooperation
The ORAACLE collaboration extends nationally and internationally across health professions, basic research and public, including information from national, international as well as local quality registers.
