Brain Metastasis Research Lab

The Brain Metastasis Research Group

Frits Thorsen - Translational cancer research, brain tumor research, brain metastasis research, Frits Thorsen. Our research focuses on biological mechanisms related to development of malignant brain tumors. We also study transcapillary fluid exchange in normal conditions and disease.

Brain Cancer

Brain Tumor & Microenvironment Research Group

Hrvoje Miletic / Jian Wang - We work on malignant primary brain tumors. We aim to unravel mechanisms of tumor stroma interactions and analyse how cell death impacts the immune microenvironment.

Professor Martha Chekenya Enger

Brain tumour immunology and therapy group

Martha Chekenya Enger - We develop and test novel combination therapies in clinical trials and utilize bioinformatics and artificial intelligence to identify molecular genetic, proteomic and imaging biomarkers for treatment response prediction and drug discovery.

Tumor microenvironment and radiobiology research group

Per Øyvind Enger / Bente S. Skeie - Our research focus on cancer radiobiology, aiming to potentiate radiotherapy with radiosensitisers. We also investigate how tumor-stroma interactions impact on disease course and treatment response.
