Today we open our new Centre of Excellence, CEMIR, Centre of Molecular Inflammation Research. A central topic for the centre is how inflammation can play a part in so many apparently different chronic diseases. Here are some pictures from the opening and the opening seminar.

Happy researchers, from the left: Co-Director at CEMIR, Trude Helene Flo, Director of CEMIR, Terje Espevik, Head of the Department of cancer research and molecular medicine, Magne Børset.

Dean Stig Slørdahl was extremely pleased when he found out that both applications for Centres of Excellence from the Faculty of medicine were granted.

Head of Department Magne Børset says we have reasons to be proud, and especially the leaders of CEMIR, for the new CoE status.

The Director of CEMIR shows that inflammation plays a part in several diseases such as obesity, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, allergies and cancer.
