The cell signalling and targeted therapy group perform basic research into the mechanism of cancer cell signalling with the aim to identify novel strategies for cancer therapy.
We are particularly interested in understanding how specific protein kinases and protein phosphatases contributes to these processes.
Our research projects includes studies of
Role of DUSP2 in cancer cell signaling in hematological malignancies
Stress activated signaling pathways in cancer development
Targeting tissue acidosis in solid tumours
We are also involved in several collaborative projects within the Faculty of Health Sciences (Link microRNA), the University of Tromsø and the Norwegian Cancer Genomics Consortium (link).
The research in our group is made possible with grants from the Norwegian Cancer society, Norwegian research Council, Helse Nord, and the Blix foundation.
