Getting here
NCMM is located in Forskningsparken/Oslo Science Park - the address is Gaustadalléen 21. You can get here by public transport, bike or car - but note that parking could be an issue. Oslo Science Park has a parking house, where you pay by the hour. If you are employed at NCMM you can park for free in certain areas across the bridge (UiO campus) with a UiO parking permit. Parking the bike is free, but it often fills up right outside the entrance. Therefore note the possibility to park your bike on the other side of the building (facing Blindern T-bane), and at the front - on the other side of the street, by UiO: Institutt for informatikk. Oslo Science park offers facility for cleaning the bike and there are even showers downstairs.
NCMM mandate and mission
NCMMs overall purpose is to recruit internationally outstanding young researchers and act as an incubator for new research groups. NCMM aim is to help young researchers establish and build research groups with independent research activity, good production, external funding and to be a place where group leaders develop both academically and as research group leaders. NCMM shall thus be a resource for the surrounding environment of the consortium partners – University of Oslo (UiO) and South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority (HSØ) – and nationally as a strategic recruitment instrument.
NCMM is a part of UiO's interdisciplinary focus on life sciences, and has been hosted by the Faculty of Medicine, UiO, since 2015.
Founded in 2008, Centre for Molecular Medicine Norway (NCMM) is an international biomedical research centre, with the overall objective of translating basic medical research into clinical practice. NCMM aims to promote multidisciplinary collaborations that bring together basic and translational research.
NCMM is part of the Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine which was established in 2007 as a joint venture (2008-2012) between the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and the Universities of Helsinki, Oslo and Umeå. A Danish node (Dandrite) joined the Partnership in 2013. The Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine is a major strategic player in Europe’s molecular understanding of disease mechanisms, thanks to its complementary research expertise, outstanding research infrastructures and industry collaborations.
Expectations
It is expected that all NCMM staff take responsibility for their work tasks. For PhD-students and postdocs this means to take responsibility for own research project and career development. NCMM research group members have no core work hours but are normally expected to be present in the lab between 10am and 3pm whenever possible to facilitate scientific interactions. Check with your group leaders for work core hours in your particular group. NCMM research group members are expected to manage their time to achieve the goals inherent to their projects. Lab members will be expected to meet deadlines. Lab members are encouraged to seek independent resources or one another to overcome any research challenges. Any challenge that will delay research goals or daily tasks should be communicated to group leader or appropriate team members immediately to facilitate progress. As a member of the NCMM, you are expected to participate fully in your research group, both intellectually and operationally.
What you can expect from NCMM is that we do our best to make you thrive and succeed in your job. We will make sure you have basic facilities for work, like an office space, IT-equipment needed, a suitable and safe lab space when needed. That your group leader will introduce you to the group and give you tasks that you manage, or facilitate training to make you manage this. That NCMM have meeting placed for lunch and social meetings, and for work related issues – like institute meetings, research group meetings and scientific seminars – like our Tuesday seminars. There is also a NCMM Trainee Committee that do their best to follow up all our youngest researchers, the PhD- and postdocs – across all research groups, to make sure that work environment is improved – if and when necessary. If we do not meet your expectations, please tell us: Inform your group leader, the NCMM Trainee committee, NCMM management or your safety representative.
NCMM staff come from diverse personal and academic backgrounds. Respect must be shown for these differences to learn from one another. Let us bring our strengths and share our successes.
Mandatory introduction to NCMM
All new students and personnel must attend an introduction meeting to NCMM. Here you will get information about fire safety, HSE and lab safety. Schedule an introduction meeting with the HSE- coordinator. In order to finish your training you must also answer one or more questionnaires depending on your tasks and responsibilities.
Access office/labs
- To get in & out of Oslo Science Park (Forskningsparken) you need an access card.
- To get access to the NCMM laboratories and some office wings, you need a key tag.
- To get access to your office, printer rooms etc. you need a key.
Contact person for access at NCMM is Carlos Rodríguez
- For access to NCMM and UiO areas outside Oslo Science Park, and to use the University of Oslo Library, you need an UiO employee ID card issued by SiO Customer Service.
IT access
Group leaders are responsible for ordering relevant hardware for each employee to enable them to do their job.
To get your user account and credentials, please contact the IT team: Melaku Tadesse or Pavel Zarva.

New in Forskningsparken
NCMM is located in building C and E, and finding your way around in our labyrinth is a common start-up-challenge. Here you just have to ask Carlos or your colleagues about help the first days. But note that as long as NCMM stays in Forskningsparken, we also have access to benefits as Forskningsparken members - like having a cantina and the bakery, and wardrobe with showers, and more.
