RNA forum

Welcome to the RNA forum at the Cancer Registry of Norway.  Our aim is to gather researchers interested in small noncoding RNAs in the Oslo area to seminars and discussions covering all aspects of noncoding RNA research.
Last updated:

We will invite you to informal meetings approximately 4 times a year. Each meeting will include 1-2 presentations followed by a discussion. A mailing list has been created with the purpose of sharing information about topics and dates for the meetings.

If you are interested in participating, please send your email address to Trine.Rounge@kreftregisteret.no or Katarina.Baumgarten.Skogstrom@kreftregisteret.no and your name will be put on the mailing list. Also feel free to circulate to anyone else you think could be interested.

Directions to the Cancer Registry:

The Cancer Registry is located at the Oslo Cancer Cluster Innovation Park, close to the Radium hospital, and in the same building as Ullern High School. Use entrance 2A, walk straight until you get an entrance to a stair-well on your right marked with yellow. Go up to the 4th floor, register at the reception and someone will come and meet you. 

Address:

Ullernschaussen 64

0379 Oslo
