In May we could finally announce the first convergence environments – interdisciplinary research groups that aim to solve grand challenges related to health and environment.

Man-made pollutants, the peculiar immune system of codfish, embryonic development, personalised cancer therapies, human genetic history and new technologies to handle both disease and pollutants. This will be studied in seven new convergence environments that are funded by UiO:Life Science.

Read more about the convergence environments.

Read an interview with former director of UiO:Life Science, Finn-Eirik Johansen, about the background for the funding and the application process.
