Research at Institute of Clinical Biochemistry (IKB)
Research at IKB aims to unravel the dynamic interplay between cellular processes on a molecular level, that can be used to understand and treat disease. Of particular interest are processes related to DNA integrity and mitochondrial biology. IKB has established methodology within structural and mitochondrial biology like advanced protein purification, X-ray crystallography, separation and analysis of large protein complexes, high resolution respirometry, confocal microscopy for in vivo imaging in addition to laser-tweezers microscopy to study molecular interactions. The research groups at IKB have collaborative projects with external groups at Rikshospitalet-Radiumhospitalet Medical Centre, with various institutes at the University of Oslo as well as with research groups abroad. The institute hosts the core facility for structural biology (protein crystallography) at Rikshospitalet-Radiumhospitalet Medical Centre. Two of the research groups are involved in the Centre for Molecular Biology and Neuroscience (CMBN; one of the Centers of Excellence in Science in Norway).
