[:no]Ein nestor i norsk virologi, professor emeritus Gunnar Haukenes, er g\u00e5tt bort. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Gunnar Haukenes d\u00f8de den 21. august 2021 etter kort sjukeleie i sitt 95. \u00e5r. Han var f\u00f8dd i Arendal i 1927 og viste seg tidleg som g\u00e5verik b\u00e5de intellektuelt og musikalsk med absolutt geh\u00f8r. I unge \u00e5r m\u00e5tte han velgje mellom profesjonell karriere som pianist og legeutdanning. Det vart medisinen som vann, og han fullf\u00f8rte si medisinske utdanning ved Universitetet i Oslo i 1951.<\/p>\n

Gunnar Haukenes forsvarte sin doktorgrad \u00abImmunochemical studies on Polysaccharide A from Staphylococcus aureus<\/em>\u201d i 1962. Dette var blant dei tidlege doktorgradene ved Det medisinske fakultet ved Universitetet i Bergen, og han f\u00f8lgde opp med fleire publikasjonar i dette bakteriologiske emnet dei neste \u00e5ra. Han hadde ogs\u00e5 eit forskingsopphald ved University of Rochester, New York, fr\u00e5 1963 \u2013 64.<\/p>\n

Gunnar Haukenes sin faglege identitet er f\u00f8rst og fremst knytt til oppbygginga av virologisk forskning og diagnostikk i Bergen, f\u00f8rst med studiar av immunresponsen mot influensavirus, seinare med forsking p\u00e5 r\u00f8de hunder virus, meslingvirus og HIV. I 1963 flytta den mikrobiologiske og immunologiske forskinga fr\u00e5 All\u00e9gaten og inn i det nybygde MFH-bygget, i dag Armauer Hansens hus, p\u00e5 den medisinske campus i Bergen.<\/p>\n

P\u00e5 MFH-bygget vart det fr\u00e5 1966 oppretta eit eige Viruslaboratorium med Gunnar Haukenes som den f\u00f8rste leiar, f\u00f8rst som dosent ved Avdeling for mikrobiologi og immunologi og samtidig overlege i virologi ved Haukeland sjukehus. I dei kombinerte universitets- og sjukehusstillingane bygde Haukenes i dei neste \u00e5ra opp b\u00e5de virologisk forsking og diagnostikk i Bergen. Hans dosentstilling vart i 1972 endra til personleg professorat.<\/p>\n

Medisinstudentar minnest Haukenes som ein sv\u00e6rt dyktig og grundig forelesar i virologi, og som ein engasjert og vennleg person som kunne svare p\u00e5 sp\u00f8rsm\u00e5l i pausane.<\/p>\n

Gunnar Haukenes hadde eit kolossalt kunnskapsregister i medisinsk mikrobiologi og vart konsultert av kollegaer b\u00e5de lokalt og nasjonalt og imponerte alltid med sine presise og kloke svar. I det norske og skandinaviske virologimilj\u00f8et var han ein autoritet og vart omtala som ein av skandinavias fremste virologar i si tid.<\/p>\n

I heile sitt liv spelte han dagleg og dyktig p\u00e5 piano. Dei siste 7 \u00e5ra, etter at kona d\u00f8de, har Haukenes bodd ved Fantoft Omsorgssenter, der han dagleg og til det siste spelte piano for dei andre beboarane.<\/p>\n

Gunnar Haukenes blir hugsa som ein sympatisk og dedikert forskar og forelesar med stor integritet og djup kunnskap som kom mange til nytte.<\/p>\n

Gunnar Haukenes died on 21 August 2021 after a short illness in his 95th year. He was born in Arendal in 1927 and proved to be gifted both intellectually and musically with perfect pitch. In his youth, he had to choose between professional careers as a pianist and medical education. It was the medicine that won, and he completed his medical education at the University of Oslo in 1951.<\/p>\n

Gunnar Haukenes defended his doctoral degree «Immunochemical studies on Polysaccharide A from Staphylococcus aureus» <\/em>in 1962. This was among the first doctoral degrees at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Bergen, and he followed up with several publications in this bacteriological course in the next few years. He also had a research stay abroad at the University of Rochester, New York, from 1963 to 1964.<\/p>\n

Gunnar Haukenes’ professional identity is primarily related to the build-up of virological research and diagnostics in Bergen, first with studies of the immune response to influenza viruses, later with research on rubella virus, measles virus and HIV. In 1963, the microbiological and immunological research moved from All\u00e9gaten into the newly built MFH building, today Armauer Hansen’s house, on the medical campus in Bergen.<\/p>\n

In 1966, a dedicated virus lab was stablished at the MFH building, with Gunnar Haukenes as the first leader, first as a lecturer at the Department of Microbiology and Immunology and at the same time a consultant in virology at Haukeland Hospital. In the next few years, Haukenes built up both virological research and diagnostics in Bergen. His position as lecturer was in 1972 changed into a personal professorship.<\/p>\n

The medical students remember Haukenes as a highly skilled and thorough lecturer in virology, and as a committed and friendly person who would answer any question in the breaks.<\/p>\n

Gunnar Haukenes had a colossal knowledge in medical microbiology and was consulted by colleagues both locally and nationally, and he always impressed with his precise and wise answers. In the Norwegian and Scandinavian virology environments, he was an authority and was described as one of Scandinavia’s foremost virologists of the era.<\/p>\n

Throughout his life, he was a gifted piano player. For the past seven years, after his wife died, Haukenes lived at Fantoft Care Centre, where he daily played piano for the other residents.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gunnar Haukenes will be remembered as a sympathetic and dedicated scientist and lecturer with great integrity and profound knowledge that many benefited from.<\/p>\n
