Immunforsvarets frontliner

A field report from Engelsen's research stay at the French Research Institute Gustave Roussy (Paris, France) in the norwegian journal Forskerforum explains how we aim to engage the immune system in the eradication of cancers. (Article by Kjerstin Gjengedal). 

On a quest to cure cancer

'The premature death from cancer of a close friend and colleague, made Agnete Engelsen even more determined to find a way to cure this devastating disease.'

The PhD interview/ cancer research. Article in the UiB Magazine by Jens Helleland Ådnanes. 

Read more about my opportunity to participate in the High-Impact Cancer Research (HICR): Cancer, Biology and Therapeutics Program at Harvard Medical School -a truly inspirational postgraduate medical education program!  

Translational Cancer Research requires a wide range of standaard and advanced methodologies. Read more about the excitement and international participation at the first fully web-based version of CCBIO 905 Methods in Cancer Biomarker Research. This course is part of The CCBIO Research School for Cancer Studies.

 

Great excitement at the Research fair in Bergen

Excited children and adults crowded the Research Fair when researchers at the Center for Cancer Biomarkers (CCBIO) displayed living cancer cells in the microscope and performed a play about the cancer cell Greedy Frieda.
