Forskningsfokuset p\u00e5 denne gruppen er cellesignalering i hematologiske sykdommer. I prosjektet mitt vil jeg forske p\u00e5 celle-til-celle kommunikasjon og signalering i beinmargsmilj\u00f8et i kronisk myeloid leukemi (KML) f\u00f8r og under behandling med tyrosin kinase inhibitorer, med hovedvekt p\u00e5 bruk av imaging mass cytometry (IMC) og 2-foton mikroskopering av levende fors\u00f8ksdyr. Siden jeg startet i stillingen som postdoktor har mye arbeid g\u00e5tt med til \u00e5 planlegge forskningsprosjektet i detalj og bli kjent med nye metoder samt skrive s\u00f8knader for etisk godkjenning hos REK og FOTS for dyrefors\u00f8k. Jeg har ogs\u00e5 f\u00e5tt v\u00e6re med i en anbudsprosess for multi-foton mikroskopet som vil komme til dyreavdelingen her p\u00e5 instituttet i samarbeid med Prof. Emmet McCormack. Det er givende og l\u00e6rerikt \u00e5 jobbe som postdoktor. Stillingen er ypperlig da man fortsatt har tid til, samt at arbeidsoppgaven inneb\u00e6rer, at man selv skal utf\u00f8re forskningen i praksis. I tillegg kan man f\u00e5 veiledererfaring og l\u00e6re mer om de administrative oppgavene man kan f\u00e5 senere i forskningskarrieren.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hvorfor jeg liker og arbeide ved K2:<\/strong><br \/>\nJeg flyttet tilbake til Norge i Juni 2019 etter et 2-\u00e5rig forskningsopphold ved National Institutes of Health (NIH) i USA. Jeg endte opp med \u00e5 s\u00f8ke meg tilbake til K2 ved samme forskningsgruppe der jeg tok b\u00e5de mastergraden og PhDen. Dette var fordi jeg \u00f8nsket \u00e5 fortsette og forske p\u00e5 hematologi samt at jeg kjente godt til det gode arbeidsmilj\u00f8et og de hyggelige menneskene som jobber ved gruppen og K2. Den tette tilknytningen mellom Haukeland Universitetssykehus og K2 er veldig positiv og gj\u00f8r at man kan f\u00e5 utrettet spennende translasjonell kreftforskning.[:en]<a href=\"http:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/files\/2020\/02\/IMG_2617-scaled-e1582792173215.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-17455 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/files\/2020\/02\/IMG_2617-scaled-e1582792173215-260x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/files\/2020\/02\/IMG_2617-scaled-e1582792173215-260x300.jpg 260w, https:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/files\/2020\/02\/IMG_2617-scaled-e1582792173215-888x1024.jpg 888w, https:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/files\/2020\/02\/IMG_2617-scaled-e1582792173215-768x886.jpg 768w, https:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/files\/2020\/02\/IMG_2617-scaled-e1582792173215-1332x1536.jpg 1332w, https:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/files\/2020\/02\/IMG_2617-scaled-e1582792173215-1776x2048.jpg 1776w, https:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/files\/2020\/02\/IMG_2617-scaled-e1582792173215-624x720.jpg 624w, https:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/files\/2020\/02\/IMG_2617-scaled-e1582792173215.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/><\/a><strong>What do I work with:<\/strong><br \/>\nI am working as a CCBIO postdoctoral fellow in the research group headed by Prof. Bj\u00f8rn Tore Gjertsen where I started autumn 2019. The research focus of the group is cellular signaling in Hematological malignancies. In my project I will focus on investigating cell-to-cell communication and signaling in the bone marrow compartment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) before and during treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The main methods used are imaging mass cytometry (IMC) and 2-photon microscopy of living small research animals. Since I began my Post Doc period I have mainly spent time planning the project in detail and familiarized myself with new methods in addition to writing applications for ethical approval to REK and FOTS for animal research. I have also been part of the process in getting a multi-photon microscope for the animal facility at the institute in collaboration with Prof. Emmet McCormack. It is great to be employed as a Post Doc, as this employment represent the transitioning from PhD towards an academic career with more responsibilities. It\u2019s a position where you still have the time and responsibility to execute experiments and research. In addition, you gain increased supervising responsibilities and learn more about the administrative duties following the job as a researcher.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you enjoy working at K2?<\/strong><br \/>\nI just moved back to Norway in June 2019 after a 2-year position as a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the US. I chose to return to K2 and the research group I was affiliated to during my MSc and PhD degrees because I wanted to continue performing research in Hematology and I also knew that the working environment was great and the people working in the research group and the institute are kind and collaborative people. The close collaboration between Haukeland University Hospital and K2 is a great asset and allows exciting translational cancer research.[:]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[:no] Hva jeg arbeider med: Jeg er CCBIO postdoktor i forskningsgruppen til Prof. Bj\u00f8rn Tore Gjertsen og startet i stillingen h\u00f8sten 2019.
