Dr. Niko Beerenwinkel, Professor at the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering, ETH Zürich, Switzerland, will present the lecture "Learning tumor phylogenies from single-cell data."

In conjugation with the PhD course Metabolomics- Methods and Applications, there will be a mini-seminar open for everyone.

What are the available infrastructures and core facilities for metabolomics and metabolic analysis in Norway? How about available services for data analysis, bioinformatics and modelling of metabolic systems?

The aim of this course is to provide an overview of  molecular medicine topics relevant to:

- Disease mechanisms and development

- Translational medicine

- The future of diagnostics and targeted therapies integrated to stratified, tailored and personalized medicine.

Professor Taipale, professor of Medical Systems Biology, will present his research as part of the NCMM Seminar Series. 

This course will provide an introduction to the computational analysis and reconstruction of both small and genome-scale metabolic networks.

Dr. Tero Aittokallio, Professor at the Oslo Centre for Biostatistics and Epidemiology and Group Leader at the Institute for Cancer Research, Oslo, Norway, will present his lecture "Predictive modelling of drug combination effects for precision medicine."

An open seminar by EATRIS Operations Director Anton Ussi.

The inaugural meeting of the EATRIS Norway Network will take place on 7 October 2019 in Oslo.

The idea of a circular economy has been embraced by the European Commission. What does it mean and is it feasible? We are happy to have Zora Kovacic, post doctor at the Centre for the Study of the Sciences and the Humanities, to present and discuss the theme in a biophysical context.

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Adam Novak will be the guest speaker of our upcoming Sven Furberg Seminar in Bioinformatics and Statistical Genomics on the coming Friday, Sep 27, at 14:30 in Lille auditorium, Kristen Nygaards hus.

Dr. Adam Novak, senior software engineer in the UCSC Genomics Institute, will present his lecture "Graph-based genome representations".

Abstract:

Graph-based approaches to genomics problems can beat out traditional linear-reference-based tools, reducing reference allele bias and improving structural variant calling. For these reasons and others, graph genomics techniques are becoming more popular, and more graph-based tools are being developed. Here I present lessons on genome graph API design learned during the development of the vg variation graph toolkit. I show how techniques and libraries extracted from vg can be used to help developers quickly bootstrap new graph-based projects, forming an ecosystem of interoperable graph genomics tools.

Centre for Digital Life Norway and Ard Innovation invite you to a breakfast meeting.

The goals of this symposium is to connect people and groups working within different areas of relevance to systems medicine to share information, find new partners, solve problems and to be inspired to apply for funding from future calls. We also want to get input from Norwegian research environments with regards to what needs to be in place to advance this field further.
