Institute for Cancer Research

 

Institute for Cancer Research has since its foundation in 1954 played a central role within the field of cancer research both in Norway and internationally. The Institute has seven research departments and more than 320 employees, master students included. About 70% of the employees and projects are externally funded.

The Institute has internationally strong research groups within biochemistry, cell and tumor biology, genetics, radiation biology, immunology and cancer prevention. For more than 30 years there has been a close interaction between researchers at the Institute and cancer surgeons, oncologists and pathologists. This emphasis on translational science has resulted in numerous clinical protocols based on in-house research, and the Institute is a key partner in the Comprehensive Cancer Center, organizationally under the Division of Surgery and Cancer Treatment at Oslo University Hospital.

Håvard Ove Skjerven and Karin C. Lødrup Carlsen (photo) from the Department of Pediatrics at OUS are first and last author of an article published in New England Journal of Medicine (journal impact factor 53.3) June 13th, entitled "Racemic Adrenaline and Inhalation Strategies in Acute Bronchiolitis". In this paper Skjerven, Lødrup Carlsen and coworkers aimed to assess the effectiveness of inhaled racemic adrenaline as compared with inhaled saline and the strategy for frequency of inhalation (on demand vs. fixed schedule) in infants hospitalized with acute bronchiolitis. Their findings has led to changes in the national guidelines, thus improving the treatment of bronchiolits.
