Bjørn Helge Haug

Bjørn Helge Haug is an Associate Professor at the Department of Clinical Medicine, UiT The Arctic University of Norway. His research focuses on molecular mechanisms in neuroblastoma, particularly the role of MYCN gene amplification and miRNA regulation in oncogenesis and tumor suppression.

• Research Interests
  • MYCN gene amplification in cancer
  • miRNA regulatory networks
  • Tumor suppressor mechanisms
  • Neuroblastoma pathophysiology
  • RNA interference in oncology

His publications (2009–2016) explore interactions between MYCN, miRNAs, and tumor suppressors like DKK3, with implications for prognostic modeling and therapeutic strategies in neuroblastoma. He is a member of the Metabolic and Renal Research Group.

• Scientific Awards

His work includes collaborations on studies involving exosome-like vesicles, conditional gene knockdown systems, and miRNA-targeted therapies for neuroblastoma.
