Nikolai Engedal was recently awarded 9 million NOK in Open project support from The South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority (Helse Sør-Øst) 2020 call. The project aims to unravel the role of autophagy in prostate cancer formation and progression, to discover prognostic autophagy-related gene signatures and markers, and to identify autophagy-modulating drugs that can reduce cancer cell aggressiveness. Engedal is now starting up a project group in Eivind Hovig’s group at the Department of Tumor Biology.

The application “AUTOprost – the role of autophagy in prostate cancer formation and progression” to the Open Call of The South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority was recently funded with NOK 9 million (principal investigator: Nikolai Engedal).
