Front picture for the Tronstad Lab

The Cell Metabolism group

Karl Johan Tronstad - We use multimodal approaches to study the role of disturbed cell metabolism and mitochondrial function in mechanisms behind cancer, ME/CFS and other diseases.

for

Halberg Group

Nils Halberg - The goal of the Halberg lab is to understand how cancer cells and the surrounding microenvironment adapt to changes in diet and physiological homeostasis.

Subpopulations partitioning of breast cancer cells

Lorens/Aarsaether Lab

James Lorens / Niels Aarsaether - The Lorens lab studies molecular mechanisms of cell communication that impact disease, in particular interactions in the tumor-immune microenvironment, and develops new therapeutic concepts.

Cables and wires

Matrix biology

Donald Gullberg / Marion Kusche-Gullberg - We are interested in understanding how integrin alpha11beta1 and proteoglycans, affect cell functions during development and in pathological situations like tissue- and tumor fibrosis.

Molecular modeling and design lab

Knut Teigen - We use computational tools to investigate the relationship between molecular structure and biological function to reveal the underlying mechanisms behind human health and disease.
