The Section for Applied Informatics conducts research and develops concepts and methods required to improve
cancer care. They provide software solutions, methods and technologies to our researchers and collaborators.
The Section for Applied Informatics is also responsible for hardware and technical support. Another
important task for the section is dissemination and visualisation of our research projects and results.

The sections for Interphase Genetics and Applied Informatics are to a large extent interdependent, and the Section for Applied Informatics is responsible for all necessary hardware- and software development, and technical support. In addition, this section develops other concepts of Medical Informatics in its 3 units:

• Application development, headed by Tarjei Svensgjerd Hveem
• Dissemination and Visualisation, headed by Hilde Ramstad
