University - Industry Collaboration (UIC) often starts through personal contacts. To facilitate a good career start for our students and increase UIC, the Department of Biotechnology, NTNU, and the Digital Life Norway Research School, join forces and invite you to a biotech career day with focus on industry.

In this two-day workshop we invite scholars to reflect on what is being valued in existing, emerging and envisioned life science knowledge infrastructures. We ask questions like: What visions, hopes and imaginaries guide the construction of such infrastructures? What becomes enacted as valuable through the practices of constructing them? How can questions like these contribute to well-constructed research infrastructures?

Centre for Digital Life Norway in collaboration with partners welcome you to a one-day workshop on Design Thinking applied to life science and biotechnology.

The Centre for Digital Life Norway welcomes all interested to a public lecture on the role of neuroscience for the future of psychiatry by the prominent British sociologist Nikolas Rose. He will address questions such as: Where does the current scientific and popular attention to the human brain come from? Does it change how we understand ourselves? And where are the social sciences and humanities in all of this?

Prof Nikolas Rose will focus on how modern neuroscience and attention towards brain function and mental health changes how we perceive ourselves

This time Professor Nathalie Reuter will give a presentation of the Biotek2021 funded project and the use of computational biology methods for drug discovery against Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

DigitalLife is the annual conference for Centre for Digital Life Norway. In 2018 the conference will take place in the centre of Bergen at Grand Hotel Terminus.

Are you interested in mathematical or computational modeling of biological systems, using digital tools to analyze biological data, or in making your research more transdisciplinary?

An essential part of being a researcher is to communicate your research ideas and findings – providing society with new knowledge and directions for future solutions. But how to do this successfully? And how do you reach the right target groups?

The invited Volterra Lecture at UiT co-hosted by DigiBiotics is given by Prof Inger Sandlie who successfully have combined the role as innovator and researcher.

Translation from research to value creation can not be done without understanding immaterial property and how to protect it. How can we ensure that we capture and exploit ideas? How can we develop collaboration between academia and business? We invite researchers and small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to an educational day on IPR!

We would like to invite all PhD supervisors connected to Centre for Digital Life Norway for a two-day workshop in the Swedish mountains.

Welcome to the first competence sharing network meeting “Methodologies for Digital Life”, 6. October in the centre of Bergen. Transdisciplinarity is an underlying approach of the centre and the meeting is intended for researchers from different disciplines to meet and discuss novel methodological approaches in the field of digital biotechnology. The meeting is free to attend and open for all interested participants.

Together with the Double Intraperitoneal Artificial Pancreas project the Centre welcomes Professor Francis J. Doyle III, Dean of John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), Harvard University, and scholar in chemical engineering to present his latest work on testing algorithms in clinical settings for an artificial pancreas and the future technology for the millions of individuals who are affected by Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Prof Doyle has devoted his research to understand and characterize biological systems by a systems engineering approach, contributing to the fields of systems biology and functional biomedical control, while combining computational and experimental work.

DLN has joined in as co-organizer of the Network Biology meeting organized by NORBIS and CCBIO. Highly renowned international speakers are confirmed for the meeting.

Target group: PhD students and advanced master students interested in Systems Biology and Systems Medicine. Course elements: lectures, literature study, tutorials and hands-on modelling
