Camilla Raiborg has defended her thesis "Hrs makes receptors silent. A key to endosomal protein sorting"
The common denominator in the thesis is the Hrs and during the project several components were shown to cooperate with Hrs in the sorting process: clathrin, STAM, Eps15, AIP4 etc.

Kristi Grønvold Bache has defended her thesis "The function of ubiquitin-binding protein complexes in endocytic downregulation of growth factor receptors"
The results presented in the thesis represent a first step towards understanding the molecular mechanisms of endocytic downregulation of growth factor receptors and provide novel links between this pathway and growth regulation and cancer.

Camilla Skiple Skjerpen has defended her thesis "Translocation mechanism and cellular interaction partners of FGF-1 and FGF-2"
Fibroblast growth factors is at class of growth factors that has an effect on important biological processes, as the generation of new blood vessels, the repairment of wounds after injury, the development of airways, and the generation and growth of legs and arms. Besides, defects in the regulation of the growth factors may lead to the development of various forms of cancer.

Important autophagy findings commented in Nature
Tor Erik Rusten and co-workers in Harald Stenmark's group has recently provided new insights into how autophagy is regulated in the cell. Their findings - published in the August edition Developmental Cell - has stirred considerable attention, and two commentary articles has been written in "News and view" in Nature, and in "Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology".

Young Scientist Award to Monika Slominska-Wojewodzka
The Polish Science Foundation this year awarded seven Polish young biochemists (age below 30) a prize for their scientific work. Each prize-winner receives 20,000 PLN (about 35,000 NOK) – which is equivalent to the salary for one year. Such a prize is highly prestigous, and the majority of the prize-winners will obtain a permanent position at a Polish university or institute.
Monika Slominska-Wojewodska is currently working in the group of prof. K. Sandvig as a post doc, and she is supported by an EMBO (European Molecular Biology Organization) fellowship.
Prestigous national research prize to Sjur Olsnes
Professor Sjur Olsnes from Deparment of Biochemistry at the Norwegian Radium Hospital received King Olav V's cancer research prize March 3rd. Queen Sonja delivered the prize in connection with the celebration for the annual "Cancer Day" in the Oslo Concert Hall. The prize contains NOK 500.000, and is distributed every year by the Norwegian Cancer Society. The prize is one of the honourable a Norwegian cancer researcher can receive.
Sjur Olsnes got the prize for his research regarding protein transport into cells. His studies concerning how cells take up certain toxins has given new insight that can have a great impact for future cancer treatment.
Through a period of thirty years Sjur Olsnes has published nearly 300 scientific works. He has received Anders Jahres prize for young researchers (1979), Stiansens research prize for biomedical research (1995) and the research prize of the University in Oslo (2000). He is a selected member of the EMBO society (1987), in Academia Europea (1994) and i the Russian science academy (1999).
The Department of Biochemistry, where Olsnes is head, has recently purchased a new confocal microscope. The prize money will be useful to the daily expenses of running this advanced instrument.
