The organizational structure of NoPSC :
NoPSC has "center status" at the Medical Faculty, University of Oslo and is organized within Oslo University Hospital as a section (level 4 unit) within the Department of Transplantation Medicine at the Clinic for Surgery, Inflammatory Diseases and Transplantation.
