After discussing strategic issues concerning the centre, such as the MRCRM seminar series, the scientific advisory board, and our new Twitter account (@BergenMRCRM), we celebrated the official commencement of the projects with this lovely cake.

Four research projects - spanning from establishing GMP protocols to wound healing to treatment of psychosis and osteonecrosis - are recruited to the MRCRM through grants from the Trond Mohn Research Foundation. The projects will run over four years, except for the project entitled "Establishing 'blue-print' Good Manufacturing Practice protocols for gene therapy", which is funded for three years. We want to take this opportunity and once again thank the Trond Mohn Research Foundation for the funding!

We look forward to publishing updates on the exciting research going on in the Centre.
