Kjersti Flatmark

  • Group leader; MD, PhD
  • +47 22 78 18 63 / +47 91 16 84 66

Since 2004, Professor Kjersti Flatmark has worked as a clinician-scientist, combining clinical work with building translational research projects focusing on treatment of peritoneal surface malignancies, locally advanced, recurrent and metastatic colorectal cancer. These cancers are the main clinical responsibilities of Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Norwegian Radium Hospital. She is the first of only two practicing clinicians to hold a group leader position at Institute for Cancer Research. She has developed broadly collaborative translational and clinical projects spanning a range of medical subjects from evaluation of novel drugs in preclinical models to observational and interventional clinical trials. She has also developed robust national and international collaborations through regional (ACREDIT) and European (EuroPMP) research networks.
