As LUMIBLAST is the first Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) project coordinated by a Norwegian partner, it’s pioneering research has raised Norway’s attention. Prime Minister Erna Solberg and Research and Higher Education Minister Iselin Nybø have visited Prof Kristian Berg and Dr Theo Theodossiou at the Radium Hospital in Oslo to learn more about the Lumiblast project.
The Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang (VG) has recently published an article on the visit of Prime Minister Erna Solberg and Research and Higher Education Minister Iselin Nybø to the Radium Hospital in May 2018 to learn more about the first Norwegian coordinated FET project LUMIBLAST – the “pioneering Norwegian technology that will kill aggressive brain tumors by making light in the brain.”
“The project is amazing. It is amazing what we will eventually manage to develop in cancer medicine and cancer research in Norway," says Erna Solberg (right), Prime Minister to VG. Professor Kristian Berg's research group is among the few selected in Norway who have received EU funds to develop a whole new type of cancer medicine against deadly brain tumors.
