Since her PhD in MS genetics in 2003, she has worked as the leader of the MS research group at Oslo University Hospital as well as a consultant with a special focus on MS, and is from 2010 a professor of neurology at the University of Oslo. As of September 2018 she is the Head of Department of Neurology at Oslo University Hospital, as well as deputy head of the MS Research Group. She has been a member of several international committees related to neurogenetic- and MS research and acts currently as member of the governance group the Norwegian Brain Council and of the International MS Genetics Consortium (IMSGC) and is member of the ECTRIMS council.
Project/Research interest:
Hanne F Harbo is project leader and supervisor of projects in the MS Research Group at Oslo University Hospital focusing on translational MS-projects spanning from genetic and molecular studies to gene-environment- , phenotype- and MRI- research. She has also a strong clinical interest in MS and takes actively part in the MS clinic as well in the development of local, national and international data collections and research projects.
