We started scientifically:

• Espen Haavardsholm from Diakonhjemmet, centre leader of REMEDY, presented all the activities and projects of this research centre for rheumatological and musculoskeletal diseases.
• Kushtrim Kryeziu from Department of Molecular Oncology had a very interesting talk about the establishment of their impressive biobank of patient-derived tumour organoids and gave some tips on how to work with organoid models.

Then we turned to artistic and creative activities at Paint On Pots before we ended the day with dinner on Aker brygge. In conclusion a very interesting, inspiring and social day.

Just prior to starting the summer season, the senior members of group for Translational studies on solid tumours met up to share results so far in 2024 and to discuss plans and future projects. With a number of funding applications in preparation to the Norwegian Cancer Society, the Norwegian research Council and the South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority, as well as several manuscripts in preparation, there should be enough exciting work to keep us all busy and happy over summer and into the autumn season.
