Danish Cancer Institute has received the funding of 2.4 million kr. i.e. 225K USD from the Danish National Research Foundation. This funding will be given to Anja viendahl Olsen working at the Danish Cancer Institute for her project “Lifestyle behaviour in midlife” where she is serving as the Group leader in the Diet, Cancer and Health Group.

With the growing number of cancers and other diseases due to lifestyle changes, we are still unaware of the societal costs it imposes and since there are very few people doing the treatments while more people require it, so this research would help humanity in suggesting the best lifestyle changes to reduce this burden, said Anja Olsen.
