CSO Heidi Haikala receives the Anders Jahre Prize for Young Scientists

Dr Haikala shares the prize with Chloé B. Steen, who works at Oslo University Hospital and the University of Oslo. Steen has developed advanced bioinformatic tools to characterise cells in tissues. Importantly, these tools have deepened our understanding of how cellular composition can influence cancer. Professor Kiehn receives the main Jahre prize for his groundbreaking discoveries on the organization of and the function of neural circuits that control movements.

I am extremely grateful to receive the Anders Jahre Prize for Young Scientists. While the award is given to an individual, the work behind it reflects the efforts of many people. I have been fortunate to be surrounded by talented colleagues, mentors, students, and collaborators who have challenged and reshaped my thinking. This recognition is encouraging for our mission to tackle drug resistance and improve outcomes for cancer patients. I appreciate the opportunity to continue building on this work together with our exceptional team.

Heidi Haikala, CSO, co-founder, Solid IO
