The RESET-affiliated project Crossover Research 2: Well-constructed Knowledge Commons is arranging a workshop on life science knowledge management on June 25-26 at Hotel Scandic Nidelven in Trondheim. ​ Participation is completely free and the registration deadline is June 17.

This research school and workshop is intended for stimulating transdisciplinary thinking in students across disciplines from biology to computational sciences.

Would you like to expand your experimental vocabulary, cross borders into neighboring disciplines, or gain some experimental experience to compliment your computational skills?

Computational medicine aims to apply methods from engineering, mathematics, and computational sciences to improve our understanding of disease mechanisms, and diagnosis, follow-up, and treatment of human disease in the clinic. In this seminar Prof. Arvid Lundervold will talk about training of a new generation life scientists and medical students in this interdisciplinary field.

Dr. Mark Robinson, Associate Professor of Statistical Genomics, Institute of Molecular Life Sciences, University of Zurich, Switzerland, will present his lecture "Statistical methods for flexible differential analysis of multi-sample multi-condition single-cell RNA-seq datasets."

Join the annual conference made for and by the research school members!

The Hybrid Technology Hub - Centre for Organ on a chip technology presents a mini symposium on Organ on a chip Friday May 24.

Control theory has been successfully applied in engineering to build stable and reliably behaving devices. How can concepts developed in control engineering help us understand regulation in biological systems and how to develop reliable, integrated medical devices? In this workshop we will present and discuss some of the existing and novel concepts of control theory and how they can be applied in biotechnology and medical engineering.​

Dr. Günter Klambauer, Institute for Bioinformatics, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria, will present the lecture "Deep Learning methods in early-stage drug discovery."

Computational approaches that can aid our understanding of cancer development are improving. Are we approaching the time when computer simulations could become a clinical tool in cancer treatment?

In conjunction with the 7th CCBIO Symposium Omid Farokzhad will deliver a Volterra lecture Tuesday May 14th titled "Perspectives on how to Translate Biomedical Research to Products and Cures" The lecture is held at Solstrand Hotel&Bad near Bergen and is open for everyone.

10 May 2019, Industrial PhD candidate Odd Martin Staal will publicly defend his PhD degree at NTNU.

Welcome to this guest lecture 9 May held by Professor Ali Cinar (Illinois Institute of Technology). He will visit NTNU, Trondheim as an opponent for Odd Martin Staal’s PhD defence, scheduled for 10 May.

This lecture is free and open to anyone interested, hosted by Centre for Digital Life Norway.

Combining computational and experimental approaches, MIT-Professor Christopher Voigt has made outstanding contributions to the fields of synthetic biology and biological engineering. In the beginning of May he guests our Volterra Lecture Series in Oslo, Trondheim and Bergen, to offer his approach on programming cells.

A two day workshop with members of Digital Life research projects to foster mutual learning on responsible research and innovation in practice.

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."

NCMM group leader will present her research as part of Oslo Science Park's 'Food for Thought' series

Join artists and scientists for an evening of exploration and discussion, where we will debate how to optimize the future!

How can more realistic mechanical and mechanistic descriptions of organisms and their interactions make ecological models more predictive and help us understand evolution of traits, their underlying genetics and the optimality trade-offs experienced by organisms? Prof. Øyvind Fiksen (Theoretical Ecology group, Department of Biosciences) will address these and other related questions at this breakfast seminar.
