Oslo University Hospital
Since its foundation in 1954 the Institute for Cancer Research, of the Oslo University Hospital, has played a central role within the field of cancer research both in Norway and internationally. More than 320 employees (master students included) are working in seven research departments.
The Institute has internationally strong research groups within biochemistry, cell and tumour biology, genetics, radiation biology, immunology and cancer prevention. For more than 30 years there has been a close interaction between researchers at the Institute and cancer surgeons, oncologists and pathologists. This emphasis on translational science has resulted in numerous clinical protocols based on in-house research. A large number of SMEs have been established based on the research at the Institute for Cancer Research that has resulted in establishment of Oslo Cancer Cluster (OCC) in 2006.
