“We’re honoured to receive funding from the Danish National Research Foundation for the projects:

‘𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙮𝙡𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙞𝙙𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙪𝙨 𝙨𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚’ and ‘𝘿𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙞𝙘𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙪𝙘𝙡𝙚𝙪𝙨 𝙗𝙞𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙮’.

Group leader in the Diet, Cancer and Health Group at the Danish Cancer Institute, Anja viendahl Olsen, will receive funding of 2.4 million kr. for the project ‘Lifestyle behaviour in midlife’.

‘I’m very pleased to receive this grant. Through this new project, we will learn more about how lifestyle changes in midlife affect our health, and about how lifestyle and lifestyle changes relate to the use of healthcare services. We already know that our lifestyle affects our risk of developing cancer and other diseases, but we know less about the societal costs related to an unhealthy lifestyle. With more people needing treatment and fewer in the workforce to provide care, understanding how lifestyle factors impact our health is more crucial than ever,’ Anja Olsen explains.

Professor Niels Mailand will receive 2.2 million kr. for the project ‘Defining the genetic determinants of micronucleus biology’.

Professor Mailand and his research group will join the Danish Cancer Institute in the new year.“
