Award from The Medical Faculty at UiB - "Research group of the year"

The Breast Cancer Group led by Per Eystein Lønning, Clinical institute 2 (K2), received the award for "research group of the year" at the Medical Faculty.

Jury reasoning: This years award for best research group goes to the Breast Cancer Group at K2, led by professor Per Eystein Lønning. The group has for many years produced high quality research and contributed to groundbreaking scientific findings in the breast cancer field. The group has also been running the Mohn Cancer Laboratory and published frequently in high impact journals like Cancer Cell, Plos genetics, Nature Medicine, as well as Annals of Internal Medicine. Good access to external financing has enabled to group to contribute to building up the good cancer research environment here at the faculty.
