The Centre for Molecular Biology and Neuroscience (CMBN) (Senter for molekylærbiologi og nevrovitenskap) is a Norwegian
Centre of Excellence at the University
of Oslo and Rikshospitalet, Oslo University Hospital. CMBN shall take on a leading role in elucidating
the role of DNA repair and genome maintenance mechanisms in preventing
neurological disease and brain ageing.

CMBN scientists Magnar Bjørås, James Booth, Ragnhild Weel‐Sneve and Knut Ivan Kristiansen have received Medinnova's Idea Prize for 2009. The scientists are developing a new drug that kills bacteria.
The prize is awarded every year for the best idea with commercial potential from employees in the health region.

Erlend A. Nagelhus, MD, PhD, has started as group Leader at the Centre for Molecular Medicine Norway (NCMM), the Nordic EMBL partnership, University of Oslo.
He will run his research group at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, in affiliation with CMBN, and be responsible for the neuroimaging activity in Letten Research Centre. Nagelhus' group will focus on roles of aquaporins in brain fluid and vascular dynamics. |
