Synnøve Magnussen

Synnøve Magnussen is affiliated with the Faculty of Health Sciences, focusing on cancer biology and tumor progression. Her research spans oral squamous cell carcinoma, the plasminogen activation system, nephronectin’s role in cancer, and immunogenic cell death mechanisms.

• Key Research Areas: Cancer biomarkers, tumor microenvironment, metastasis, marine-derived therapeutics.
• Notable Work: Investigated uPAR/PAI-1 in oral cancer progression; characterized nephronectin’s integrin-binding domains in breast cancer brain metastasis.
• Publications: Recent studies explore marine mimics for cytotoxicity (2023), tumor immune microenvironment dynamics (2024), and DAMP-inducing compounds (2022).
• Academic Contributions: Collaborated on validating prognostic markers (2021) and hypoxia-driven vascular permeability (2022).
