Invitation to the CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium December 8th
We cordially invite you to the upcoming CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium, December 8th. We present a scientific program that should be of great interest.
For program please consult this link. There is no registration fee and lunch is also included!
A highlight of this symposium is an inspirational lecture on supervision by Professor Arild Raaheim from the Department of Education at the University of Bergen. Raaheim will in his talk focus on the challenges and possibilities related to supervision, from a supervisor’s point of view. We look forward to his talk and hopefully a lively discussion related to this topic.
Professor Curtis C. Harris will come all the way from Bethesda, Maryland to give an inspirational lecture at the Junior symposium. Professor Harris works at the Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, NIH, and his Areas of Expertise includes 1) precision medicine, 2) biomarkers of cancer, 3) molecular epidemiology, 4) p53 function in cancer and aging, 5) metabolome, 6) microbiome. The title of his talk will be announced shortly.
Furthermore, several talented PhD students will present their ongoing projects on tumor biology, cancer therapy and tumor-stroma crosstalk and signaling.
If you want to attend, we kindly ask you to register through this link within December 6th.
All are welcome to attend, so please feel free to circulate this e-mail if you know other researchers/staff that you think would find the symposium interesting.

Pre Master’s Thesis within the Medical Curriculum
The medical curriculum holds that it is mandatory for the students to write a pre master’s thesis. In 2015, altogether 124 pre master’s theses were completed. Of these, 105 were written with supervision from researchers affiliated to K1 or K2. K2 contributed with 51 and K1 with 54 of the pre master’s theses. This says that students choose tasks that are clinically related. For K1 and K2 this implies opportunities for recruitment to subsequent research and also to the specific clinical fields of medicine. There are several examples that the recruitment into research has gone through a pre master’s thesis. One gets the chance to evaluate whether this is a student with both the skills and the ambitions to do research. At the same time, post-docs and experienced PhD-fellows may have an opportunity to try their hands as supervisors.
In the new medical curriculum the pre master’s thesis will play a bigger role than in the old. The research groups that do not have a strategy to use the students and the resource they represent through pre master’s thesis, should consider this. Here lie possibilities that the research groups should exploit.
