The national programme for clinical treatment research – KLINBEFORSK - has allocated research funds to Haapaniemi group for developing CRISPR-Cas9 gene therapy for STAT1 Gain-of-Function disease.
Over five days in December, NCMM hosted a PhD course introducing new approaches to multi-omic data analyses.
The four-day workshop organised by NCMM and NorMIC Imaging Platform, IBV, included both theoretical presentations and hands-on lab sessions.
Several NCMM members were the driving force behind arranging a recent RSG Norway panel talk.
EATRIS-plus staff exchange programme is enabling Dr. Esguerra's visit to discuss a potential collaboration.
New possibilities for treating rare diseases by optimising precise gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9
The two-week long national course took place at the Oslo Science Park 7 – 18 November.
Anita Kavlie, national coordinator for EATRIS Norway, has been involved in writing and organizing a new free MOOC developed under the European Joint Program of Rare Diseases with the title Introduction to translational research for Rare Diseases.
Anna is a postdoctoral researcher who recently started at the Haapaniemi group.
The study used HDX-MS to map the epitope and paratope of the new high-affinity tumor-specific antibody developed against a variant of HER2. Antibodies directed against HER2 are already used in breast cancer therapy, and the new antibody developed by the collaboration has potential to be used as a diagnostic tool or future cancer treatment.
NCMM Group Leader Dr Emma Haapaniemi will collaborate with centre leaders and NCMM Associate Investigators Prof Johanna Olweus and Prof Karl-Johan Malmberg as part of the new centre, Precision Immunotherapy Alliance (PRIMA).
Molecular discoveries have the potential to lead to advancements in the understanding and treatment of disease. Over 90 scientists visited Oslo to discuss the latest dynamic kinetochore research
Dr Tatiana Belova (NCMM), Dr Salim Ghannoum (Oslo University Hospital) and Saikat Das Sajib (University of Tromsø) have been awarded the funding by the national network for breast cancer research
Anita Kavlie, national coordinator for EATRIS Norway, pitched the benefits of the EATRIS research infrastructure to a full house at innovation hangouts – a new meeting place for academia and industry organised by the Life Science Growth House
The origin of life on Earth is one of humankind’s greatest open questions. Researchers at NCMM wanted to investigate how the transition from non-living to living matter on the early-Earth took place by studying how molecules like DNA and RNA are exchanged between primitive cells
On the 13th & 14th of June NCMM held its first scientific retreat in three years. The retreat comprised of two days of excellent talks from the research environment and Associate Investigator network representing NCMM’s wide expertise in molecular medicine
Where are they now? Meet NCMM alumna Rønnaug Steen Kolve and learn about her career path from studies in molecular medicine to managing first a core facility at an international research center and then research funding actions at the Norwegian Cancer Society.
Dr Liye He is a Postdoctoral Researcher with a background in computational science and precision medicine in the group of Professor Tero Aittokallio at FIMM. He recently spent time with the Mathelier group at NCMM
Elham Shojaeinia is a PhD student in the Esguerra group at NCMM. She recently visited DANDRITE at Aarhus University, Denmark to learn in depth about the principles of neural organization
NCMM group leader, Dr Marieke Kuijjer and Dr Xavier Tekpli (Oslo University Hospital) have been awarded the funding by the foundation for the promotion of cancer research (UNIFOR-FRIMED)
Abnormal epigenetic changes are observed in the development of multiple types of cancer. Researchers at NCMM wanted to explore the molecular mechanisms driving these processes
The NorMIC series of workshops has established itself as an important platform for Norway and Scandinavia-based biomedical researchers to gain scientific knowledge of optical microscopy
An online version of the NCMM Annual Report 2021 is now available
The Nordic EMBL Partnership Coordination and Operations team assembled in Oslo for two days to advance joint initiatives.
