CCBIO strengthens cancer research with new research field
What role do nerves play in the development of cancer? This question is central to a new and exciting research initiative at CCBIO, namely the nerve structure around cancer cells. With a grant of 9 million kroner from the Research Council, the center now has the opportunity to recruit an international top researcher – and at the same time strengthen a research field that can change the way we understand cancer.
The funds come from the program "Rekruttering av talentfulle forskarar til Norge (ekstern lenke)», and will be used to bring cancer biologist and neuroscience researcher Tracy-Ann Read to Bergen. She comes from a position at Augusta University in the USA and has extensive experience studying both cancer cells and the nervous system
In total, CCBIO has now received 36 million kroner in external funding for research into cancer and nerves – a field in rapid growth internationally.

Glove use, and choosing the right glove
Gloves should be worn to protect yourself, your sample and/or other people. Wearing gloves minimizes but does not eliminate contamination of the hands; good hand hygiene is therefore important.
If you use gloves to protect your samples, remember that hands with gloves transfer substances and microorganisms between objects and people in the same way as hands without gloves.
Do not wear gloves when touching things like:
- o Door Handles
- o The buttons in the elevator
- o The washbasin
- o Other things that others touch without gloves
It should feel safe for others to touch these surfaces without gloves, and then it doesn't help that you yourself know that you don't have anything dangerous on your gloves.
Remember good hand hygiene!
Take gloves off when touching areas that one rated clean.
Different types of gloves:
Different gloves protect against different chemicals. Therefore, make sure you use the right type of gloves for the right type of chemical!
Different gloves have varying penetration times. Remember to change gloves well before this time is up!
Don't spread chemicals around by touching things with contaminated gloves!
