Aristotle 2 Acknowledgments The current PhD study was conducted at the Department of Clinical Molecular Biology (EpiGen) of Akershus University hospital and at the Research Institute of Internal Medicine of Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet, from September 2015 to November 2019. Financial support was provided by University of Oslo and Akershus University hospital. First and foremost I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my principal supervisor, Professor Hilde Nilsen, for the opportunity she gave me to continue working in such an exciting project and be a part of a group that was making me to evolve as a scientist, day by day. Thank you for all the positivity, patience and guidance you showed me over these years. You could always find this perfect line between inspiration and motivation that could only push me to continue doing my job better. You will always be an example to follow in my professional life and I am grateful for that. I would like to thank my co-supervisor, Professor Magnar Bjøras, for all his time and help over the years. I would also like to thank all the co-authors and collaborators for their contribution and help in the current work. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to work among the current and past members of the Nilsen research group as well as all the colleagues at EpiGen. Lisa L, thank you for always being there for me, both as a colleague, ready to reply to all my questions, and as a very good friend. Henok K, Panpan Y, Ying E and Sergio C thank you for making the days at the lab feel sometimes like a playground. Tanima S, Anna W, Nuriye BT and Lene A, thank you for all the fruitful scientific discussions and for creating an environment at the office that many times felt like home. Also, a very big thank you to Anna Frengen for her immense patience, time and help, making sure everything work perfectly at EpiGen. I would like to express my gratitude to all the people in my life, outside academia that helped me through all the difficult moments of the past five years. To my friends, thank you for being by my side. Tassos, thank you for just being there for me, these years would not have been the same without you. Finally, there are no words to express how grateful I am to Γιώργος and Κατερίνα, my parents. You have always been supporting me throughout my life, making sure I will not fall. Thank you, the last five years would have never happened without you by my side.
