37 million for cancer research at UiB

The Cancer Society is showering UiB and Helse Bergen with funds this year. Oleksii Nikolaienko will use the money to learn more about who is at risk of getting cancer.

“It is great to receive this recognition that we are doing something people support,” says Oleksii Nikolaienko at the Mohn Cancer Research Laboratory at the Department of Clinical Science 2, UiB and Haukeland University Hospital.

He is leading one of a total of eight projects from Bergen that have received money from the Cancer Society in this year’s allocation. Five of the projects are owned and operated by the University of Bergen. In total, Helse Bergen and UiB are awarded 61 million NOK.

From K2, Professor Bjørn Tore Gjertsen is also receiving funds from the Cancer Society.
