Arne Östman

Arne Östman is a Professor at the Department of Clinical Medicine, University of Bergen, with a focus on tumor biology and stromal cell interactions. His research explores the clinical significance of PDGF receptors and fibroblast-immune crosstalk in cancer progression.

Research interests include:

• Stromal regulation of tumor growth and metastasis
• PDGF signaling in cancer biology
• Immune-stromal interactions in tumor microenvironments
• Biomarker development for cancer prognosis and therapy

Recent publications examine cancer-associated fibroblasts in breast and liver metastases, T-cell interactions, and imaging mass cytometry applications. His work spans molecular mechanisms to clinical trial validations.
