ESTABLISHMENT OF THE RADIUM HOSPITAL RESEARCH FOUNDATION
The history of The Radium Hospital Research Foundation goes back to the opening of the Institute of Cancer Research at the Norwegian Radium Hospital in 1954. After this the hospital soon became a hub for cancer treatment and cancer research. It was and still remains the most specialized hospital in Norway within its discipline

In 1987 The Radium Hospital Research Foundation was established as a technology transfer office (TTO) connected to the Norwegian Radium Hospital. The objective of the foundation was to identify cancer and oncology research with a commercial potential and accelerate commercialization. In 1997 the foundation established its first company, Photocure, based on research from the Institute. In 2017 the foundation changed name to RADFORSK.
