This is a kind reminder that the call for abstracts and posters for the conference Translational Medicine 2017 (24–26 September 2017 in Prague) is two weeks away from closing.

The conference is looking for high quality abstracts for oral or poster presentations for the following two categories:

1. Novel approaches in clinical development (25 September)

Scope: novel biology or tools for patient selection & response prediction, cases of novel approaches to clinical trials.

2. Developing more predictive preclinical tools to better reach proof of concept (26 September)

Scope: novel pre-clinical models with high predictive value, including new screening technologies for toxicity or efficacy, novel models predictive of biodistribution.

More information on abstract submission can be found here.

The faculty participates in a Nordic network for research education in medicine and health science, called NorDoc. The purpose of this network is to establish a joint platform and collaborate on activities and courses, and the network recently applied for NordForsk funds for further development of its activities and courses.

NorDoc will now host a Nordic PhD Summit on 21–22 August. PhD candidates participating here, may get 1 credit (ECTS) approved in their training component. Program and more information can be found here.

Reduced attendance fee upon registration before 19 June. The fee will be doubled after this deadline.

Feel free to contact Kaia Nepstad or Roland Jonsson if you have questions about this.

National authorities, health authorities and medical companies all want to contribute to the political goal of conducting more clinical studies in Norway. Through its commitment, Biomedical Network wishes to make sure that more researchers, companies, study staff and patients participate in studies. This will be done through local and national efforts, and across a number of institutions that have important roles in organizing, financing or developing clinical studies.

Therefore, Biomedical Network invites to a meeting on Results from clinical research – what benefits can we achieve, and can we improve planning and implementation?

Here, we will present experiences and challenges, and look at what values clinical studies represent.

Time: 29 May 2017 at. 15:30–19:30.
Location: Haukeland University Hospital, auditorium H113.

Deadline for registration: 22 May.
Limited seats.
