Senter for ernæring har gleden av å invitere til et nytt seminar i vår seminarrekke. Serien tar opp sentrale utfordringer innen ernæring og helse.

Maternal nutrition in a modern world. Are we creating new risks for the baby?

Foreleser: Eleni Papadopoulou, PhD, Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH), Oslo
Moderator: Petur Benedikt Juliusson
Tid: Torsdag 23. januar kl. 14.30-15.30
Sted: Auditorium 2, BB-bygget, Jonas Lies vei 91

Eleni Papadopoulou is an epidemiologist at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH). Her background is in nutrition and environmental health. She holds a PhD in Environmental Epidemiology (2013) from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, Spain, on the impact of early life exposures to environmental contaminants on fetal growth and endocrine disruption. Her research is focused on the investigation of exposures to environmental contaminants with toxic effects for humans, especially using birth cohorts, as well as the interactions with beneficial nutrients. When coming to NIPH, she first received funding as a Marie Curie post-doctoral fellow to study human dietary exposures to new “emerging” toxicants and currently she is funded by the Norwegian Research Council (“CATCH-UP project”) for a study aiming to identify early life environmental stressors that can affect child growth in the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child cohort study.

Abstract
Diet and nutrition are among the major modifiable risk factors for the prevention of Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), and more specifically alcohol use, inactivity and unhealthy diet, as well as obesity. In addition, exposure to environmental chemicals have become hot topics due to the link to increase NCD risk. These chemicals are now considered the new threats for human health, mainly because some of them after they enter the human body can mimic the function of our hormones and promote adverse health effects. The periods of pregnancy and early life are identified as critical periods to tackle NCD risk development, as the risk factors are developing long time before the occurrence of the disease, all the way to the pregnancy period and the fetal life. This is no different for environmental chemicals, as the placenta is not protecting the fetus from being exposed to them and the child is born with detectable levels of several environmental chemicals. In this talk, she will focus in the role of maternal diet as a source of exposure to environmental chemicals as well as beneficial nutrients and the associations with child’s physical development and health.

Det nærmer seg tiden for UiBs store nasjonale bærekraftskonferanse 6. og 7. februar. Som i fjor holdes det en arrangementsdag den 5. februar som kalles Day Zero. Her finnes det noe for enhver smak, og godt faglig påfyll.

Du kan delta på en rekke svært interessante seminarer og workshops med ulike tilnærminger til bærekraft. Har du studenter i undervisning kan kanskje noen av arrangementene være relevant å ta med studentene på. Day Zero er selvfølgelig gratis og et virkelig unikt tilbud.

Det er mer enn 30 arrangement å velge mellom, og temaene spenner bredt. Ta en titt på listen av arrangement ved å følge lenken her.

We are approaching the time for UiB’s great conference on UN’s Sustainable Development Goals on the 6th and 7th of February. Like last year we have a day of events in advance of the conference, on the 5th, called Day Zero.

You can attend a number of very interesting seminars and workshops, all with different approaches to sustainability. If you teach students, perhaps it could be relevant to bring them to one of the events. Day Zero is of course free and a truly unique offer.

There are more than 30 events to choose from, and the themes range widely. Take a look at the list of events by following this link.

Obesity and cancer

Speaker: Nils Halberg
Moderator: Simon E. Nitter Dankel

Dr. Halberg completed his graduate studies at the University of Copenhagen in 2009. Working in the laboratory of Dr. Philipp Scherer at the UT Southwestern Medical Center he studied the functional role of hypoxia and fibrosis in obese white adipose tissue. He did postdoctoral work in the laboratory of Dr. Sohail Tavazoie at the Rockefeller University studying the mechanisms of metastatic secretory programs in breast cancer. In 2015, he moved to the University of Bergen to start his academic laboratory in the Department of Biomedicine. His laboratory seeks to better our understanding of the mechanistic connection between obesity and cancer.

Obesity and overweight is consistently linked to tumor initiation and progression across 13 tumors types. This currently rank obesity as the second leading preventable cause of cancer right behind smoking. Although the epidemiological evidence is overwhelming the cellular mechanisms behind the link between obesity and cancer has been elusive. We propose a model wherein cancer cell adaptation to an obese environment leads to a cell differentiation towards a cancer stem cell phenotype through chromatin remodeling.

Dear all,

Winter Is Coming!
…and with it, the 56th Winter Contact meeting of the Norwegian Biochemical Society (NBS).

For the first time, it will take place at the Park Hotel Vossevangen in Voss, from January 23rd to 26th, 2020. Registration and Abstract submission are now OPEN. We provide reduced prices for Master and PhD students. All prices include registration fee, hotel room and all meals – including the banquet dinner. The board of the NBS Bergen branch is organizing the meeting and we are happy to present a program with highly recognized international speakers, including the EMBO Keynote lecture that will open the meeting. Poster sessions and parallel mini symposia will cover all areas of biological, biochemical, biomedical and bioinformatical research. These provide opportunities to present your exciting new results, projects or infrastructures of national interest. The Annual Contact Meeting is a great opportunity to meet your colleagues, network, share and present your data, and get inspired for the next decisive experiment. There will also be the possibility for skiing and using the brand new Voss Gondol :).

You find more information in this flyer and on the homepage: https://www.biokjemisk.no/contact-meeting-2020/

See you all in Voss!

Best regards
The organizing committee, NBS Bergen

Faglig-pedagogisk dag er UiBs største etterutdanningsarrangement for lærere, og arrangeres neste gang 31. januar 2020. Vi inviterer fagmiljøer fra alle fakulteter til å melde inn forelesninger, seminar, workshops og andre faglige bidrag som profilerer aktuell forskning ved UiB. Målgruppen er lærere, primært på ungdomstrinnet og i videregående skole.

Det er ønskelig at programmet både skal gjenspeile tematiske satsingsområder for UiB og for fakultetene, samtidig som vi ønsker å vise frem hele bredden av UiBs faglige virksomhet. Alle bidrag er derfor velkomne, men temaene under er blant de som er spesielt trukket frem fra UiB sentralt:

• Elever og læring
• Elever og helse
• Globale samfunnsutfordringer

Vi har lyst til å by på et variert program og tar gjerne imot bidrag i form av samtaler, debatter, workshops, i tillegg til forelesninger. Standardformatet pr. bidrag er 45 minutter, evt. 2×45 minutter. Flere bidragsytere kan også dele 45-90 minutter mellom seg om ønskelig. En ekstra gulrot for alle PHD-stipendiater er at et slikt innlegg kan inngå med ett studiepoeng i formidlingsemnet FORMIDL901!

Computational Data Analytics on the Web for Better Food Decision

Speaker: Christoph Trattner 

Christoph Trattner is an Associate Professor at the University of Bergen at the Information Science & Media Studies Department. Previously, he was an Asst. Prof. at MODUL University Vienna at the New Media Technology Department. He also founded and led the Social Computing department at the Know-Center, Austria’s research competence for data-driven business and big data analytics.

According to the World Health Organization around 80% of cases of heart disease, strokes and type 2 diabetes could be avoided if people were to implement a healthier diet. Computational data analytics approaches have been touted as a valuable asset in achieving the ambitious goal of understanding user behavior and being able to develop intelligent online systems, which can positively influence people’s food choices. In this talk, he will present his latest research on computational data analytics approaches to understand, predict and potentially change food decision making in an online context.
