Institute for Cancer Genetics and Informatics, Oslo University Hospital

Institute for Cancer Genetics and Informatics (ICGI) brings scientists, researchers, patients, pathologists, developers, consultants, doctors and suppliers together in an environment of cooperation and sharing — to improve cancer care, research and treatment. We are located at Oslo Cancer Cluster Innovation Park, next to Radiumhospitalet, and part of the Cancer Clinic at Oslo University Hospital. The Institute is also part of Centre for Cancer Biomedicine, appointed Centre for Excellence in research by the Norwegian Research Council. The Institute's work consistently supports the high international standing of the Oslo University Hospital, both through our contribution to medical services and through our research contribution. The Institue Director is Håvard E. Danielsen. Around 70 people are employed as developers, medical researchers, post-docs, assistants, writers, engineers, illustrators, bioengineers and/or technicians. Covering a wide field from clinical databases to image analysis and robotic surgery, medical informatics has become an inherent part of most medical disciplines. Medical informatics incorporate and integrate research, clinical care and public health to enable everyone to be supported by informatics-based information and communication systems and technologies.
