Highlights from the Mystery Solved Project 2025
A new video from the EBV-MS research project is set to shed light on the role of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in multiple sclerosis (MS), offering a glimpse into the pioneering research efforts and the personal experiences of those involved. The EBV-MS project, funded by Horizon Europe and led by the University of Bergen, aims to unravel why only some people infected with EBV go on to develop MS... Read more
The 13th CCBIO Annual Symposium at Solstrand marks a shift in the strategy of the center, towards more focus on innovation and industry development.

CCBIO Postdoc Harsh Dongre is currently in his 11th month in Boston on his research year abroad. Now that he soon will be returning, we have asked him to reflect a little bit about doing a year abroad as part of a career path, why he chose Boston, and what he has been doing there.
12 mill NOK was today (Dec. 20, 2024) awarded to Lars A. Akslen and Heidrun Vethe from the Research Council of Norway (FRIPRO) on the project "When breast cancer hits a nerve - neural involvement as a hallmark of tumor progression."
The Western Norway Regional Health Authorities (Helse Vest) has recently announced their project funding for 2025, and we are happy to see many Neuro-SysMed researchers in their announcement. In addition, other funding agencies have also granted support to our projects this fall.
CCBIO has a tradition of using the December meeting in its seminar series to add a different perspective and encourage our research environment to think outside of the box. This December, we had the pleasure of welcoming back Fran Balkwill, who has a unique experience in addition to her cancer research career.
The result of years of collaboration between CCBIO PI Jim Lorens and Rolf Brekken and other colleagues in the USA, Finland, Romania and Norway, is now published in Science Signaling, with research identifying nuclear AKT3 as a new biomarker of advanced malignancy and revealing the pathway that activates AKT3 to drive epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in pancreatic cancer.
