University of Oslo
The University of Oslo holds a leading position in Norway within biomedical research. The research environment incorporates the country’s largest faculties of Medicine and Dentistry, as well as five university hospitals, and several research milieus at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Science, including a department of Molecular Biosciences.
In 2003 the medical faculty established several focal points, or thematic areas, for research. As of January 1st 2006 these areas are:
 | Centre for cellular stress responses
|
| Chronic inflammation in Pathogenesis
|
| Diabetes
|
| Survival and Event History Analysis (Norevent)
|
| GLOBINF Prevention of major global infections
|
| Heart failure
|
| Perinatal nutrition
|
| Psycoses
|
| Centre for Vaccinology and Immunotherapy (CEVI)
|
The Centre of Molecular Biology and Neuroscience located at the faculty has been appointed both a national centre of excellence and as part of an EU financed network of excellence. In addition, we have a Marie Curie Training site, and several of our research groups are involved in other EU financed projects from both the 4th, 5th and 6th framework programme.
The Faculty of Dentistry is the biggest dental school in Norway. It employs more than 60 researchers, and the number of students is 400. The focus areas for research within the Bio sciences at the Faculty are: Bio materials, craniofacial development biology, bio film/crosstalk, and tissue regeneration.
The Department of Molecular Biosciences hosts platforms funded by the Functional Genomics Program (FUGE) of the Research Council of Norway in Microbiology (The Norwegian Centre for Microbial Technology – CAMST) and Arabidopsis Research (The Norwegian Arabidopsis Research Centre - NARC), and has FUGE funding for projects in gene regulation and disease, and in DNA repair. Other important research areas are protein structure and function, intracellular transport, molecular imaging, and fish physiology/neurobiology.
