Hazard pictograms in CLP
From 1 June 2017, all chemicals purchased must be labeled according to CLP (Classification, Labeling and Packaging). Older chemicals at UoB should also be labeled according to these regulations. This implies that new labels must be put on older packaging.

The election opens on Monday 15 May at. 9:00 a.m., and all voters will then receive an e-mail with a link to the electronic polling station.
It is important for UoB to support new employees in a situation which for both parties are an important transition and establishment process. Therefore, UoB organizes introduction courses for new employees.
This course is offered to all new employees, regardless of job size and title. Therefore, the units at UoB should facilitate so that new employees are able to participate in this event. The course addresses general topics of being an employee at UiB. In addition, it is a great opportunity to get to know other staff members at the institution.
The HR department arranges introduction courses for new employees twice a year. All information will be provided in Norwegian. The university employs many foreign workers, and therefore organizes separate introduction courses in English.
Time: 2 June, at. 09:00–15:00.
Location: Stein Rokkans hus, Nygårdsgaten 5, Auditorium 1080.

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:
Scope: novel biology or tools for patient selection & response prediction, cases of novel approaches to clinical trials.
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.
Dear all,
The Postgraduate School of Clinical Medical Research is preparing a new Network Luncheon for all PhD fellows and researchers at K1 and K2 departments. Take a break from your daily lab-routine and enjoy a free lunch, socialize, and hear talks from fellow PhD students, and on top of all that, earn one ECTS point!
The upcoming Network Luncheon will take place on Tuesday 23 May in the Konferanserom of BBB (in front of auditoriums 2 and 4), from 11:30 a.m. to 13:00 p.m.

We present Sushma Bartaula, PhD from University of Bergen. Sushma started her work in May 2017 as a post doctor at K2 and works in Burseruds Research Group (G5).
She will work on characerizing the pathways in leukemia cells from pations With acute myelogen leukemia, and especially the interaction wand communication betwen diffrent signaling pathways, under the guidance of Professor Øystein Bruserud. If anyone wants to say hello, you can find her in the 3rd floor of the lab-building
Here you find this week’s deadlines.
Here are new publications with contributions from K2 based on last week’s search on PubMed. If you have publications which are not included in this list, please send the references to Johnny Laupsa-Borge.
Next week, innovation is in focus. Together with the Department of Biomedicine, we have invited Ulf Landegren, Professor of Molecular Medicine at the Department of Immunology, Genetics and Pathology and SciLifeLab, in Uppsala to hold the CCBIO / BBB seminar on Thursday 11.5 at 1430 in Auditorium 4, BBB.
In addition, there will be a lecture on innovation at 8.30 at BBB, room 9A109 on the 9th floor aimed at research group leaders. There will also be an opportunity to meet Ulf for individuall conversation. If you like to have an individual meeting with Ulf we your need feedback, preferably within the next Tuesday through email to Eystein or Helge.
Ulf Landegren is distinguished both through outstanding scientific efforts, but also because he has over 40 patents and applications that have been commercialized. He has started a total of six companies and two of them have been sold to Affymetrix and Agilent, respectively.
We hope to see you at a seminar with Ulf Landegren next week.
Good weekend wishes
Eystein og Helge
