<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Institute for Cancer Research has since its foundation in 1954 played a central role within the field of cancer research both in Norway as well as internationally. The Institute has six research departments, a
core facility and more than 320 employees, master students included. About 70% of the employees and projects are externally funded.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Department of Genetics consists of four major research groups which include five project groups. The department is headed by Professor Anne-Lise Børresen-Dale, who is also leading a K.G. JebsenCenter for Breast
Cancer Research. The main research area of the department is on molecular biology and functional genomics of breast cancer to understand breast cancer progression and identify prognostic and predictive markers. In addition, one group is focusing on lung and
pancreatic cancer. The department possesses large bio-banks of human tumor and blood samples and has long standing expertise in genome-wide technologies for the analysis of DNA, RNA and proteins.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Oslo centre for biostatistics and epidemiology (OCBE) includes staff from University of Oslo and Oslo University Hospital and includes several professors, researchers, post-doctoral fellows and PhD students, making
up a group of about 50. OCBE is internationally recognized, with interests spanning a broad range of areas of modern statistics and numerous collaborations with leading bio-medical research groups nationally and internationally. OCBE will have a major role
in the recently funded prestigious centre for research-based innovation Big Insight, a consortium of academic, industrial and public partners. Big Insight will develop original statistical and machine learning methodologies and deep analytical tools to extract
knowledge from complex and big data, with focus on two central themes: novel personalized solutions and sharper predictions of transient dynamics.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The post doctoral project is centered on development and progression of breast cancer using large scale genomic data from human tumor samples and mouse models. Such data include gene expression, copy number (SNP)
and methylation data from microarray analysis of tumor samples ranging from benign lesions to invasive breast cancer, as well as targeted and exome sequencing data. The aim is to increase our understanding of how breast lesions develop and progress from the
pre-invasive state and to the more aggressive invasive tumor stages and to identify markers of potentially clinical usefulness.
