The Norwegian Cancer Symposium 2024
Welcome to the 70th Anniversary of the Institute for Cancer Research, Oslo University Hospital and University of Oslo.
In 2024 the Institute for Cancer Research (ICR), Oslo University Hospital has its 70th Anniversary. With >380 employees in 7 departments, the ICR is a major research effort by OUH and the largest cancer research environment in Norway with basic, translational and clincal cancer research and tightly coupled to UiO. ICR houses parts of two CoEs (CanCell, PRIMA) and the Norwegian Centre for Clinical Cancer Research (MATRIX) and participates in several KG Jebsen-centres. As one of Norway’s largest research environments, the institute stands for more than one third of the research production in OUH Comprehensive Cancer Centre, a considerable fraction of the innovation in life science in Oslo and has, as a competence hub and strategic force, been central in the development of a national initiative for precision cancer medicine and of cell-gene therapy.
The Institute will mark the 70th Anniversary with a Jubileum Symposium – the 9th Norwegian Cancer Symposium at The Hub in Oslo on September 9-10 with support from Norwegian Hydro’s Fund for Cancer Research and other sources. You can read all about the speakers and programme here: https://www.cancersymposia.no/
The keynote opening lecture will be held by Douglas Hanahan entitled “Hallmarks of Cancer in 2024″. Together with Bob Weinberg, Hanahan wrote the famous review paper The Hallmarks of Cancer published in Cell in 2000 and that came in new editions in 2011 og 2022 (cited > 80,000 times).
With more than 300 attendees (speakers, invited guest and >250 members of the ICR) already registered, the Insitute is now opening the meeting for general registration. They are inviting all Norwegian cancer researchers to show their research in two poster sessions which will be vibrant events with lots of discussion as the ICR Science Day in 2023 and they are inviting institutions and companies to attend. This will be a great marking of the ICR and Norwegian Cancer Research!
