2023

Of 2,130 candidates, the European Research Council (ERC) selected 308 researchers for this year’s Consolidator Grants. Magnus Øverlie Arntzen at NMBU is 1 of only 4 awardees from Norway. He has received 2 million Euros (ca 24 million NOK) to study the properties of a unique set of microbial enzymes that may prove to be game changes for a wide range of challenges such as waste decomposition, renewable energy, and food/feed production.

In December 2022, two NAPI nodes were simultaneously granted institutional funding from the UiO instrument call to purchase two novel, high-end MS instruments. One at the Proteomics Core Facitlity, (Dr. Tuula Nyman - UiO-OUS) while Prof. Trine Grønhaug Halvorsen and Prof. Leon Reubsaet (Dept. of Pharmacy, UiO) received funding for the other instrument. This institutional funding is essential to maintain and further develop state-of-the art research and proteomics service at NAPI.
