Simon Nitter Dankel ved Klinisk institutt 2 mottok Diabetesforbundets forskningspris for 2018 for sin diabetes- og fedmeforskning.

Prispengene på 50 000 kroner går til et pågående prosjekt på en metabolitt som skilles ut av fettceller, og som har sterk sammenheng med utvikling av type 2 diabetes. Vi tror metabolitten kan måles i blodet som en biomarkør, for å fange opp type 2 diabetes som er i utvikling på et tidlig stadium, sier Dankel.

Pressemelding.

Dear Researchers from the Department of Clinical Medicine (K1), Department of Clinical Science (K2) and Helse-Bergen. You are hereby invited to present your work to fellow researchers and the general audience at the 13th Annual Research Presentations arranged by the Research School in Clinical Medicine 23rd-25th January 2019.

If you have presented a poster or had an oral presentation at a scientific meeting or a conference in 2018, you are welcome to present your work at our conference. You can submit one contribution – either a poster or an oral presentation.

Poster presentation:

• Each poster presenter give a short presentation of the poster to a scientific committee (around 3 minutes including questions from the scientific committee).
• Posters should be submitted as PDF files. Please check the quality thoroughly before you submit your poster. We will print out the posters on a poster banner.

Oral presentations:

• 10 minutes for each oral presentation + 5 minutes for discussion.
• Please send us your PowerPoint presentation through e-mail before the event.
• Oral presentations held at meetings in 2018 can be presented in their original form, but given that the audience will be a general medical one, it may be wise to include some additional background information.
• Note: Due to time limitations, there will be a limit of 20 oral presentations. Only the first 20 to submit their oral presentations will be able to participate.

Prizes:

A scientific committee appointed by the Research School will evaluate all presentations held by PhD students and postdocs. Prizes will be awarded to the best posters/presentations. Building on last years success, we will also this year have a «People’s Choice Award».

Submission:

Send abstract (if oral presentations) or abstract+poster (if poster presentation) to forskningspresentasjoner.forskerskolen@uib.no. Abstract should be possible to open with Microsoft Word and posters should be sent as PDF. NB: Mark the file(s) and your mail’s subject with your name, the affiliation you have (K1, K2 or Helse-Bergen) and if you are a PhD student or postdoc/researcher. Specify whether you want to have an oral or poster presentation. As in previous years, we would like to have a short Norwegian summary which is easy to understand for the general audience (typically 5 sentences long in a Word document).

If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact us through the e-mail address provided above.

Deadline for submission: 1st of December 2018.
