Vi har gleden av å invitere til NorRen-sommerskole 2020!

I år er dette et samarbeid mellom UiB, UiO og NTNU, hvor vi inviterer doktorgradsstudenter innen energi i Norge til å delta. Sommerskolen vil ha engelsk som arbeidsspråk.

Skolen finner sted på Bjørnafjorden Hotell på Os 17. – 21. august og den koster kr. 7500. For UiB-doktorgradsstudenter er det mulig å søke om stipend for å få dekket sommerskoleavgiften.

Ønsker du å søke om stipend, finner du søknadsskjemaet her. Søknadsfrist 15. mai.

Påmelding til sommerskolen gjøres via sommerskolens nettside.

Det vil bli tatt en beslutning om sommerskolen kan gjennomføres midt i juni. Se nettsiden for mer informasjon.

Hvis du har noen spørsmål, så hører jeg gjerne ifra deg. Gry.Parker@uib.no

Velkommen på til NorRen-sommerskole 2020!

Dear all

We are happy to invite you to the CCBIO course CCBIO904 – Biomarkers and tumor biology in clinical practice, April 20-22, 2020.

CCBIO904 covers tumor biological aspects important for the understanding of why cancer develops and which mechanisms are important for tumor growth, metastases and morbidity in patients. This 4 ECTS course covers broad tumor biological topics that are important for understanding how cancer occurs, the mechanisms that control tumor growth, proliferation and morbidity. The course will focus especially on tumor biological changes that may have or already have significance for personalized cancer treatment and clinical trial studies of new diagnostics and treatment.

When: April 20-22, 2020

Where: Aud. B301, Haukeland University Hospital, Main building 3rd floor the first 2 days, and last day: Olavsalen, old main building.

Program: Preliminary program: available here. (Subject to changes)

Registration: is open, please use this link: https://skjemaker.app.uib.no/view.php?id=7676350

Who: The course is primarily intended for PhD candidates, but is also open to researchers and other students, including the Medical Student Research Program (forskerlinjen), and external students. Others interested in single lectures and not interested in the ECTS, might also attend. The course is free of charge.

Responsible: Oddbjørn Straume has the academic responsibility, and Reidun Kopperud is the coordinator.

More information: at CCBIO’s web pages.

Dear all

The CCBIO/Harvard INTPART collaboration is continuing, and we are happy to present new dates for some of the successes in the program:

• Scientific Writing & Communication Seminar May 14 and 15
• CCBIO907 Cancer-related vascular biology course September 21 to October 2.

In these events, participants will get the unique opportunity to learn from experienced Harvard lecturers, right here in Bergen.

You are very welcome to register – registration is open for both.

Scientific Writing & Communication Seminar May 14 and 15

Lecturers will also this year be Christine Møller, an experienced lecturer in medical and scientific writing, with many years of experience as assistant editor of of APMIS, and Randy Watnick, assistant professor at the Vascular Biology Program, Harvard Medical School. They will cover topics such as clear writing, the art of story-telling, punctuation, titles and abstracts, the problem statement, numbers, and cover letter.

In addition, Media Advisor Marion Solheim will be adding a lecture on science presentation, showing how to make a presentation stick – in a good way.

Where: Campus Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen

Who: The seminar is open to students at all levels, postdocs and other researchers. The seminar is also open to national and international students and researchers, and it is free of charge. Teaching language is English.

CCBIO907 Cancer-related vascular biology course Sept. 21—Oct. 2

CCBIO907 is a 6 ECTS course covering topics such as basics of vascular biology, vascular biology related therapeutic approaches, biomarkers in vascular biology – from discovery to clinical application, lymphangiogenesis and vascular biology in non-cancerous diseases. Lecturers are researchers who have been in the frontline of vascular biology research for decades, and who are experienced lecturers at Harvard Medical School. You will find that what you learn, reaches beyond the curriculum, and you get the chance of making valuable connections.

This year, you will get to meet Edward R. Smith, Joyce Bischoff and Hong Cheng in addition to Randy Watnick and Mike Rogers.

Elisabeth Wik and Lars A. Akslen have the academic responsibility.

Where: Campus Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen

Who: Although the course is mainly intended for PhD students and Master students, admission is open for others who find this course interesting, including other national and international students and researchers. Teaching language is English, and the course is free of charge.

February 19-21, we are running the CCBIO906 course on Cancer Genomics. This is a 3 ECTS course that provides broad understanding of aspects of cancer genome biology and its investigation by next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. Methods for analyzing DNA variation and structure and RNA expression patterns will be covered, as well as nuclear and chromatin structure. Also, ethical and legal aspects, and hereditary predisposition, will be taught.

CCBIO906 will give you knowledge regarding:

• What kinds of mutations may predispose for, contribute to, or appear during cancer development
• How these variants can be detected by NGS methods and be analyzed bioinformatically
• How to employ these methods to stratify patients both diagnostically and therapeutically
• The different implications of the same aberrations depending on tissue type
• Ethical and legal regulations regarding genetic analyses of patient samples

The course is mainly intended for PhD candidates, but open to all, both students at other levels and researchers. There is no course fee.

When: 19-21 February 2020
Where: Room B307, Haukeland University Hospital, main building 3^rd floor (Sentralblokken), Bergen
Program: program can be found here.
Registration: is open, please use this link: https://skjemaker.app.uib.no/view.php?id=7658665
Responsible: Ola Myklebost has the academic responsibility. Rebecca Nguyen is administrative coordinator.

Increasing integration and convergence between biomedical, ethical and social aspects have become an intrinsic part of cancer research. Cancer researchers and clinicians face important questions and dilemmas every day:
• How can we deal with the uncertainties in the lab, while maintaining the quality of our science?
• How can medical science contribute to debates on what is good for society?
• How can economic models help guide health care resource allocation?

This 9-days intensive course (5 ECTS) gives candidates the opportunity to discuss these questions in an open and participatory way, and gain knowledge on how to implement this in their research and their grant proposals. All PhD candidates within cancer research (in Norway and abroad) are welcome to apply. Other students and researchers are also welcome.

When: 9-13 December 2019 and 6-9 January 2020
Where: Haukeland campus, Bergen
Program: program can be found in this poster
Registration: is now open, please use this link: https://skjemaker.app.uib.no/view.php?id=7300429
Deadline: First deadline 4 November 2019 – Registration for vacant places until 5 December 2019

Centre for Women’s and Gender Research (SKOK) invites all interested PhD candidates to the PhD course Gender Perspectives in Research September 30th 2019.

The course offers an introduction to how gender perspectives can be integrated in dissertation work and potential future research applications.

This is an opportunity to present your project and receive valuable feedback from gender scholars and other participants. The course is especially relevant for PhD candidates who do empirical and/or theoretical research with a focus on gender, however, interested candidates from all disciplines are welcome to join!

Please read more and sign up for the course on our home pages: Welcome to SKOK’s PhD relay!
