On December 21st, Anne Cathrine Bakken defended her master thesis "Exon-specific biomarkers in cancer: Experimental validation of exon microarray data from colorectal and testicular cancers". Anne Cathrine was successful in validating several novel RNA variants which are specific to cancer. Anne Cathrine is continuing the work as a research associate at the Genome biology group. The master project was supervised by Rolf Skotheim and Ragnhild A Lothe.
