Chloé B. Steen awarded the Anders Jahre Medical Prize for Young Researchers 2026
Chloé B. Steen, leader of the Cancer Biology in Silico project group at the Department of Medical Genetics at OUS and UiO, has been awarded the Anders Jahre Medical Prize for Young Researchers 2026.
Steen has developed advanced bioinformatic tools to characterise cells in tissues. Importantly, these tools have deepened our understanding of how cellular composition can influence cancer.
The Anders Jahre Medical Prize is one of the largest prizes in biomedical research in the Nordic region. Each year, a main prize and a prize for young medical researchers are awarded. This year, the prizes will be awarded in November. Steen shares the prize for young researcher with Heidi Haikala of the University of Helsinki.
– I am truly honoured to have been selected as a recipient of the Anders Jahre Prize for Young Scientists. The prize recognises the entire research environment I am part of, including my fantastic mentors and collaborators, who have all helped shape my development as a scientist. I am also proud that it further puts computational biology and bioinformatics on the map. The prize highlights that these fields are crucial for linking complex datasets with clinical outcomes, and for revealing insights that can ultimately benefit patients, says Steen.
