How are healthy cells distinguished from cancer cells?

This is not a question most teenagers are faced with, but in our school collaboration project, students are regularly sent out on unusual placements to inspire careers in medicine, research and entrepreneurship. In the latest update, you can read about how four Ullern Upper Secondary School (Ullern Videregående skole) students were invited to the Department of Pathology at The Radium Hospital, where they learnt to handle and prepare human tissue samples.

We are so proud of the brilliant students participating in the project and thankful to all enthusiastic members and partners who contribute to its success!

Storkoste seg hos patologen Fire videregående-elever fra Ullern tilbrakte to dager på patologiavdelingen på Radiumhospitalet. Det skulle vise seg å bli noe av det mest spennende de hadde gjort, og ga dem bekreftelse på videre utdanningsløp.

📸 Cancer Crosslinks 2026 — in pictures!

Cancer Crosslinks turns 18 in 2026 — one of Norway’s longest-running cancer research meeting series. This year’s conference brought together world-leading experts, clinicians and researchers to Oslo Cancer Cluster Innovation Park on 22 January, with over 200 participants attending the educational sessions in person.

From precision cancer medicine and AI in pathology, to deep genome sequencing and novel theranostics, the programme showcased cutting-edge science and translational insights that are shaping the future of oncology.

We’ve published a picture show highlighting the energy, discussions and collaborations from the day — featuring keynote talks, full auditoriums and networking moments that reflect the vibrancy of our oncology community. Recordings of the sessions will be shared soon on the event website.
