About the group
PRECISE is led by Henrik Holmstrøm in cooperation with Gaute Døhlen and Thomas Møller. It was established in 2016 as a continuation of the department's previous research group. Presently, PRECISE has around 15 members, 8 associated members and four of the members have part time senior research positions. Members of PRECISE are responsible for supervision of around 10 PhD-candidates.
The research group is connected to the Department of pediatric cardiology at Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet. The strong clinical association is valuable both thematically and for the use of shared positions, combining research with clinical work.
Our main objective is to promote research of potential benefit for children and adolescents with heart diseases, especially congenital heart disease. The group’s structure is interdisciplinary and based on national and international cooperation. PRECISE also cooperates closely with the user organisation (The Norwegian Association for Children with Congenital Heart Disease, FFHB).
PRECISE’s research activity has the following main areas:
- Clinical research in diagnostics, treatment and follow-up
- Epidemiology and registry-based research
- Development of new methods, in particular complex digital techniques
