Ongoing research projects

Biobank Norway 5 (BN5) is a national research infrastructure that connects biobanks, biomedical resources and health data to strengthen research, innovation and international collaboration in health and life sciences. The project will improve the visibility, accessibility and interoperability of biological samples and associated data, strengthen clinical biobanks for precision medicine, enable secure federated use of health data, and introduce a One Health perspective that integrates human, animal and environmental biobanking resources.

VisualSEA aims to give a face to marine organisms, fostering an emotional connection to and a deeper understanding of the biodiversity affected by climate change.

ToxANoWa II aims to develop knowledge and methods for monitoring fish-killing algal toxins in Norwegian waters.

CLEANFOOD aims to establish a comprehensive understanding of the pathways through which microplastics and plastic chemicals (MNPs and PCs) enter the food system, assess their occurrence in food and human samples, and evaluate their potential public health and societal impacts.

The aim of Campysafe is to optimize preventive actions against Campylobacter in broilers.

Chronic diarrhoea in roe deer has increased in recent years, and despite extensive investigations in Norway and other European countries, the cause remains unknown. Since many common explanations have now been ruled out, a new project is underway to explore alternative reasons why some roe deer develop this long‑lasting condition.

The Nordic Midge‑borne Disease Network brings together researchers, authorities and animal health organizations to share knowledge and develop evidence‑based practices for detecting, preventing, and managing these diseases.

In this project, models for the spread of salmon lice between aquaculture farms will be further developed and used to assess strategies for zoning and the introduction of alternative operational methods.

The overall aim for BIORESIST is to assess the potential effects that increased usage of biocides may have on the indirect selection of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in various One Health reservoirs

The project aims to set a basis for a common industry standard for the automatic registration of welfare indicators.
