I am deeply honored by the occasion to receive the “outstanding research article 2025” award from our hospital OUS, for our BETAMI-DANBLOCK article in the NEJM. This was huge teamwork, and I thanked the co-workers at OUS/UiO, my co-Chair, and the entire CV community in NO & DK.

A great honor to welcome @ESC_President Thomas Lüscher to Bergen and the NCS Spring Meeting. His talk on AI and the future of cardiovascular medicine was truly thought-provoking. (Take a look at the Elon Musk quote on the first photo🫣)

At #CVCT2025 I reviewed the nonlinear basic discovery arc underlying clinical development from autologous #CDCs #postMI to #deramiocel for #Duchenne #cardiomyopathy culminating in the blockbuster #HOPE3 trial by @Capricor. Odyssean journey! @SmidtHeart @CIRMnews @CoalitionDMD
