Repurposing of drugs can potentially bring medications with known safety profiles to new patient groups. What is the industry looking for when they consider to invest in a repurposing project? What is the regulatory framework in this area? How is IP handled?

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.

UiO satser stort på livsvitenskap og ønsker å bidra til ny helsenæring. Thermo Fisher Scientific er ett av firmaene som har lykkes med å ta norske forskningsresultater videre til anvendelse over hele verden, samtidig som de har bevart aktivitet i Norge. Hva ser de etter hos studenter fra UiO, og hva kan de tilby? Møt også en ung forsker fra UiO:Livsvitenskaps innovasjonsprogram SPARK Norway.

Skal universitetet spille en rolle i å løse klimakrisen? Hvilken effekt har skolestreikene? Må professorer fly, og hvordan skal vi utdanne fremtidige studenter til et bærekraftig arbeidsliv? Vi tar debattene på Kulturhuset.

Hva skulle vi gjort uten havet? Bli med på en bevisstgjørende frokost med forskere fra UiO og kunstnere. Vi dypdykker ned i det mørke, store blå og får myter knust og fakta formidlet.

A part of Nordic Life Science Awards that features exciting academic projects from five Nordic countries illustrating the rich and broad research milieus and their motivation to advance their ideas into innovations for patients.

Clinical trials are essential to develop new treatments. What are the fundamental issues that must be considered when designing clinical trials? What are the pitfalls? What are the dos and don’ts?

The UiO:Life Science ImmunoLingo Convergence Environment Symposium.

Richard van Wezel, Professor of visual neuroscience and Vice dean of research, the Faculty of Science, Radboud Universitety will present his work on the use of smart glasses to reduce freezing of gait in Parkinson's patients.

The scope of the workshop: This international workshop brings together scientist from a wide range of fields with a special interest in bio-mechanics phenomena from cellular scale to the size of organs. Through a series of short talks the participants will present their work, where the workshop strives to stimulate scientific exchange and to initiate new collaborations.

På tide med ny mobil, eller kan du bruke den gamle litt lenger? Norge ligger på verdenstoppen i produksjon av elektronisk avfall. Miljøgiftene fra avfallet fordeler seg i miljøet og tas opp i planter og dyr. Hvordan må vi jobbe lokalt, nasjonalt og internasjonalt for å få bukt med problemet? Hvordan kan politikere og forbrukere bidra til gode løsninger?
