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 at present seven research departments and more than 230 employees. More than half of the staff are externally funded. Many of the researchers have national and international commissions and ongoing collaborations.
The research at the Institute was collectively described as "very good, on the border of outstanding" by an international panel evaluating Norwegian biomedical research on behalf of The Norwegian Research Council.
