The Institute for Surgical Research is a modern research institute, conducting molecular medicine research. The institute is both a university institute affiliated to the University in Oslo and a department at Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet. The collaboration with the hospital is emphasized by the clinical engagements of the group leaders, which come in addition to their university affiliation.
The institute has 8 research groups:
