The healthcare sector is responsible for large greenhouse gas emissions. Now two leading research groups in Norway are taking an international initiative to calculate the climate footprint in advance of medical treatments. The goal is to offer healthcare services that are beneficial for both the patient and the planet. These ambitions have recently been published in the highest ranked medical journal internationally, The New England Journal of Medicine. 

The doctoral thesis shows a connection between the patient's immune response and the effect of treatment in inflammatory diseases of the joints and intestines. The research has contributed to a greater understanding of how the immune system affects the effect of biological medicines and COVID-19 vaccines in people with such diseases.
