Dear all
We are happy to welcome you all to the upcoming CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium, February 1st, 2024. This seminar series is a perfect place to meet and interact with other young scientists, and engage in lively and interesting discussions. We are looking forward to the keynote lecture by CCBIO Masterclass graduate Hege Berg, who will give a talk about clinical implementation of multi-omics methods in cancer diagnostics. The program spans several exiting topics including the role and inheritance of BRCA1 epimutations, novel CAR T therapies for lymphomas, and development of preclinical models for investigating resistant subclones in ovarian cancer. The application of CyTOF in oncology and fibrosis will also be presented.
Open to all. Please register within January 29th at 11.00.
When: February 1, 2024, at 09.00-13.00
Where: Conference room, BB-building (right across from the auditoria), campus Haukeland, Bergen

Sist uke var det Helse Vest sin årlige forskningskonferanse på Solstrand med deltagere fra samarbeidende sykehus og Det medisinske fakultet. Vi er kjempestolte over at professor Lars Akslen fikk årets forskningspris for sitt langvarige arbeid med biomarkører ved kreft, ikke minst gjennom sitt arbeid som senterleder for CCBIO. Dere kan lese mer om dette i K1-nytt. Videre vil vi gratulere masse til Siddharth Vivek Shanbhag som er forsker ved IKO. Han fikk Helse Vest sin Unge forsker pris for sitt arbeid på stamcelleterapi for regenerasjon av beindefekter.
