Other international collaborations

The Laboratory of Molecular Neuroscience is actively involved in the bilateral agreement between Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and the University of Oslo (signed in Washington DC in June 2002).

National collaboration

The Laboratory of Molecular Neuroscience is part of Centre for Molecular Biology and Neuroscience which is a Norwegian Centre of Excellence (head: Ole P Ottersen). This center is a collaborative effort between 11 different research groups at the University of Oslo and Rikshospitalet.

The Laboratory is also actively collaborating with Norwegian University of Life Sciences (Ås) through a STORFORSK project (coordinator: Ole P Ottersen and Erlend Nagelhus).
