10. juni 2025The Hybrid Technology Hub (HTH) Centre of Excellence has received an excellent evaluation from the Research Council of Norway as part of the national EVALMEDHELSE assessment—conducted once every decade. This recognition highlights HTH’s internationally acclaimed research in the fields of microphysiological systems and organoid technologies.
Led by Professor Stefan Krauss and supported by principal investigators Professors Steven Wilson, Hanne Scholz, Espen Melum, Alexandre Corthay, William Louch, Simon Rayner, Amanuensis Hanne R?berg-Larsen, and external partners Professors Molly Stevens and Nikolaj Gadegaard, HTH brings together cutting-edge expertise in stem cell biology, medicine, drug development, bioengineering, and computational modeling.
HTH's research centers on the development of advanced biomedical models that mimic human tissue environments. These models are essential tools for studying complex biological processes such as organ development, tissue physiology, disease progression, and aging, with the potential to transform both drug testing and personalized medicine. The assessment underscores HTH's strong international standing in advancing microphysiological systems and organoid technologies and affirms HTH's status as a leading hub for innovative biomedical research.

10. juni 2025The Membrane Dynamics Team (MemDyn) has received excellent feedback from the RCN EVALMEDHELSE evaluation.
The evaluation committee especially highlights the exceptionally successful performance level, high-quality research, and active collaborative environment:
“The group combines a myriad of state-of-the-art techniques and methods to address fundamental and biomedical questions, and they have strong international networks, which are actively used for their projects and published papers. The publication record is excellent and MemDyn’s contribution to the top-level publications is outstanding.”
The Membrane Dynamics teamThe Membrane Dynamics Team’s central questions revolve around how cellular membranes sense and respond to nutritional and biophysical stresses, how their deregulation contributes to cancer, and how they can be targeted in cancer treatment. The success of the MemDyn environment stems from highly motivated experienced PIs who have supported the establishment of early-career PIs, with clear visions for the needs to achieve excellence and success. This included the establishment of the MIP UiO imaging core facility that provides local advanced imaging infrastructure integral to the success of MemDyn. Importantly, this collaborative attitude has resulted in numerous groundbreaking publications in top tier journals, a high success rate for funding, and a vibrant research environment that has attracted highly talented new research leaders.
Since the departure of two PIs, the positive evaluation from RCN has spurred on the MemDyn team to continue the excellent work, to further push cutting-edge research projects, evolve integrated project applications, and expand international interdisciplinary research networks.
