The idea of a circular economy has been embraced by the European Commission. What does it mean and is it feasible? We are happy to have Zora Kovacic, post doctor at the Centre for the Study of the Sciences and the Humanities, to present and discuss the theme in a biophysical context.

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Adam Novak will be the guest speaker of our upcoming Sven Furberg Seminar in Bioinformatics and Statistical Genomics on the coming Friday, Sep 27, at 14:30 in Lille auditorium, Kristen Nygaards hus.

Dr. Adam Novak, senior software engineer in the UCSC Genomics Institute, will present his lecture "Graph-based genome representations".

Abstract:

Graph-based approaches to genomics problems can beat out traditional linear-reference-based tools, reducing reference allele bias and improving structural variant calling. For these reasons and others, graph genomics techniques are becoming more popular, and more graph-based tools are being developed. Here I present lessons on genome graph API design learned during the development of the vg variation graph toolkit. I show how techniques and libraries extracted from vg can be used to help developers quickly bootstrap new graph-based projects, forming an ecosystem of interoperable graph genomics tools.

Title: Sulfate in the stratosphere: Efficiency, QBO and impact on stratospheric dynamics

Speaker:   Ulrike Niemeier, MPI-M

Centre for Digital Life Norway and Ard Innovation invite you to a breakfast meeting.

The goals of this symposium is to connect people and groups working within different areas of relevance to systems medicine to share information, find new partners, solve problems and to be inspired to apply for funding from future calls. We also want to get input from Norwegian research environments with regards to what needs to be in place to advance this field further.

Where do you store assignments? What about lists of personell information for a research group? What about their phone numbers? Do you have interviews of people? Pictures? What about research data? What kind of data is it? How to share different types of data with others in a functional and legal manner?  This talk will provide a practical guide for users in the current framework of laws and regulations. Attendance to the talk is highly recommended for everyone at the Department.  

”Effects of Microplastics from Feed in Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua)”

”Mechanisms of Toxicity of Engineered Carbon Nanotubes and Titanium Dioxide Nanomaterials”

Norske forskere tar nå opp arven etter Nansen og utforsker økosystemene i de arktiske havområdene. Hvorfor gjør de det? Hva venter de å finne? Hvilke lange tradisjoner bygger denne forskningen på?

Olli Saarela (Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto, CAN) will give a talk on September 24th at 14:15 in the Erling Sverdrups plass, Niels Henrik Abels hus, 8th floor.

Counting problems have been shown to be challenging for students to solve correctly, and one reason is that they can be difficult to verify (e.g., Eizenberg & Zaslavsky, 2004).

Mechanisms controlling the selection of anti-transglutaminase 2 B cell receptors in celiac disease

Abstract:  "The study of foliations falls largely into two parts: One can study the leaf geometry or one can study transversally elliptic operators. The leaf geometry consists of studying the individual submanifolds and how they lie within the manifold. On the other hand, the study of transversally elliptic operators was initiated in the seminal work of Atiyah. This talk will be arranged as follows: The first part will be an introduction to Riemannian foliations and transverse geometry, and the second part is a survey of the results on transversally elliptic operators, foliated gauge theory and some recent work."  

Peris is currently a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute of Agrochemistry and Food Technology in Valencia, Spain. In December he will move to Oslo and start a post doc position at EvoGene, working on genomics of fungal speciation with Inger Skrede and the Oslo Mycology Group.
