Dear all
We are happy to announce that the two courses formerly postponed due to the corona measures, now will take place as web-based courses which you can attend from your home office:
The faculties of Psychology, Social Sciences and Medicine have in total kr 600 000 available for corona related research. Scientists from the three faculties are invited to apply. See Research in the time of the Corona – call for more information.
Gades Legat lyser ut midler til anvendelse i forskning innen patologi, mikrobiologi og immunologi. Alle som er faglig tilknyttet forskningsmiljø ved UiB eller Haukeland Universitetssykehus innen patologi, immunologi eller mikrobiologi kan søke om midler. Søknad skal være kortfattet og inneholde:
Legatet har i senere år tildelt beløp i størrelsesorden 20-100 000 kr, men større tildelinger kan vurderes. Støtte til reiser der man ikke formidler/presenterer egen forskning vil ikke bli prioritert.
Søknadsfrist er torsdag 20. august 2020
Søknad sendes som én PDF-fil til Gades Legat ved sekretær Håvard Hoel Aass, Havard.Aass@uib.no
Universitetet i Bergen (UiB) skal også i år lyse ut to stipendiatstillingar som eit ledd i UiB sin marine satsing. Vi ynskjer innspel frå fagmiljøa til mogelege fagområda for stillingane. Stillingane skal ikkje vere knytt til MatNat.-fakultetet, men MatNat. kan inngå i tverrfakultært samarbeid. Vi vil gjerne oppfordre til samarbeidsprosjekt der fagmiljø ved to fakultet går saman om forslaget. For meir informasjon, sjå: MaringUtvalg – Phd-utlysninger 2020 – ny frist
The Olav Thon Foundation will allocate NOK 20 million for grants to Nordic research collaboration in the field of medicine for 2021. Applications will be assessed in light of their academic quality and the projects’ potential for development of new and groundbreaking knowledge in medicine. For 2021, the Board of the Foundation has decided to invite applications for research on reparative medicine targeting diseases in the musculoskeletal and peripheral and central nervous system.
Projects should be based on the use of stem cell biology, genetic approaches, tissue engineering, biotechnology, or regenerative medicine with the aim of repairing, regrowing or replacing damaged or diseased cells or tissues.
Research support for each project is restricted to a maximum of NOK 2.5 million per year for a maximum of four years.
You can find the announcement here.
What are you working on?
I have been a PhD student in the Respiratory research group at K2 since September 2019. Before that I was a MSRP (Forskerlinje) student and had the opportunity to do research while studying medicine. In my work I am examining the risk of lung cancer in patients suffering from COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). I have been using data from GenKOLS, which was collected here in Bergen in 2003-2005. I have linked these data to cancer data from the Cancer Registry of Norway. In addition, I help collecting data for a multicentre study, BOLD (Burden of Global Lung Disease)
Why K2? What do you enjoy working with at K2?
I like being able to work with existing data, while contributing to collect more. It is not very social to work on the computer all the time, so I enjoy meeting both study participants and co-workers. I have also had the chance to teach a little, which is fun. The Respiratory research group often attends pleasant and educational congresses in Norway and abroad.
Here are recent publications with contributions from K2 based on last week’s search on PubMed (and optionally articles that have not been included in previous lists). This time the list includes in total 8 recent publications. The entries appear in the order they were received from NCBI. If you have publications that are not included in this or previous lists, please send the references to Oda Barth Vedøy.
