Dear everyone,
This week is the week of the Nobel Prizes. As an immunologist, I am particularly pleased that the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology was awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi for their discoveries on peripheral tolerance (https://www.nobelprize.org/).
The deadline for giving feedback on the multi-campus model has passed, and work is now underway to get a good plan in place. Gottfried Greve is the new project manager for Vestlandslegen and comes with extensive experience into the process, which gives us confidence that we will find a good solution for the study plan in the future. Feel free to follow the newsletters from Vestlandslegen

And finally: Remember to sign up for the faculty's research day on Tuesday 21 October at 11:30-15:00 at Eitri. This year's theme is "New challenges in academia". https://www.uib.no/med/179793/forskningsdagen-ved-det-medisinske-fakultet-2025
