Solid research is the basis for all new innovations. However, too often data generated in academia turns out to be irreproducible by others and therefor fail in translation to new products and treatments. What does it take to achieve reproducible high quality data?
Dr. Günter Klambauer, Institute for Bioinformatics, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria, will present the lecture "Deep Learning methods in early-stage drug discovery."
Dr. Pekka Marttinen, Assistant Professor, Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT, Aalto University, Finland, will present the lecture "A Bayesian model of acquisition and clearance of bacterial colonization incorporating within-host variation."
Time and again, a product is being developed, approved, and launched, only to flop in the marketplace. So how can you get your ducks in a row to prepare for a successful product, and how early should you start this process? The answer: begin with the end in mind by creating and using a Target Product Profile (TPP).
Dr. Anne-Laure Boulesteix, associate professor at the Department of Medical Informatics, Biometry and Epidemiology of the Faculty of Medicine, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany, will present her lecture "A plea for benchmarking and against fishing expeditions with focus on the statistical analysis of omics data."
National law and European directives, regulations and guidelines regulate development of medicinal product and medical devices. A product's successful journey from research to market and eventually patients requires a well-designed regulatory strategy and several consultations with regulatory authorities.
Dr. Elana Fertig, Associate Professor of Oncology and Applied Mathematics and Statistics Assistant Director of the Sydney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, USA, will present the lecture "Uncovering hidden sources of transcriptional dysregulation arising from inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity."
Dr. Francesca Buffa, Associate Professor, Computational Biology and Integrative Genomics, Department of Oncology, CRUK/MRC Institute, University of Oxford, will present the lecture "In-silico modelling of the tumour microenvironment."
What are the most important skills you need to have as an entrepreneur and why is your business model just as important as your product?
We invite the citizens of Oslo to a light event with glimpses of life sciences at UiO and amazing ice sculptures.
What were the most important biotechnology debates in 2018? What will be important this year?
UiO:Life Science, the Norwegian Biotechnology Advisory Board and Creaza will launch a new digital universe. This is a closed event for secondary schools.
A transdisciplinary workshop hosted by the convergence environment COMPARE.
Climate change and solutions to global problems related to health and environment. The event is fully booked.
LMI and partners welcome you to join this day with presentations and discussions from the Norwegian life science ecosystem and industry leaders from Global Pharma.
This breakfast seminar organised by the UiO:Life Science project Personalized Cancer Therapy (PerCaThe) will discuss the future development of Cancer Precision Medicine and specifically how the field can move to implementation in clinical trials and next in clinical practice.
How much will we sacrifice for knowledge? When is it okay, and when is it not ok to use animals in research?
At this seminar PhD students, postdocs and Master?s students in life sciences at UiO and NMBU had the opportunity to create networks outside academia. Watch videos and see pictures from the event.
Welcome to the annual Darwin Day lectures at the University of Oslo! Lectures by Peter R. Grant, B. Rosemary Grant, Arkhat Abzhanov and Leif Andersson. Since Darwin’s time insights from the fields of genetics, genomics, behavior and ecology have continued to illuminate how and why species evolve. At this event you will hear about the progress that has been made in our understanding of speciation and related topics.
The symposium will bring together leading Nordic scientists to discuss the latest developments of Organ on a Chip-technology. The event is hosted by the UiO:Life Science convergence environment: Organ on a chip and the Hybrid Technology Hub Center of Excellence.
Refreshments and mingling in Oslo City Hall for all participants of the conference. The Governing Mayor of Oslo, Raymond Johansen, is our host for the evening. You need a ticket to attend the reception. The reception is fully booked.
We highlighted inspiring examples on collaboration between academia and industry that have benefitted patients and society. How can we learn from these examples while building the health industry in Oslo and Norway?
Dr. Céline Vallot, Principal Investigator of the "Dynamics of epigenetics plasticity in cancer" group at the Curie Institute, Paris, France, will present the lecture "Tracking the dynamics of chromatin states in tumor cells at single-cell resolution: response and resistance to cancer therapies."
Funding and partnering is critical when you want to commercialize an academic idea. What are the pitfalls? What is critical? What are the dos and don'ts?
Dr. Stephan Ossowski, Group Leader at the Institute for Medical Genetics and Applied Genomics, University of Tübingen, Germany, will present the lecture "Computational Analysis of NGS Data for Clinical Diagnostics."
UiO:Life Science is the co-organizer of a pitching competition for life science pre-startups and early phase startups in Helsinki in December. The event is part of at the SLUSH side-event Y Science. A SPARK Norway team is among the finalists!
