Consultation – Proposed New Act on the Protection Against Infectious Diseases
The Infection Control Act from 1994 is currently under revision. The Helse- og omsorgsdepartementet has conducted a broad and comprehensive review of the Act to ensure that the necessary legal authority is in place to handle potential crisis situations.

Blood proteins may reveal future risk of heart disease
En ny studie viser at blodet vårt inneholder langt mer informasjon om hjertesykdom enn tidligere antatt. Ved hjelp av avansert dataanalyse har forskere fra blant annet Bergen og Reykjavík kartlagt hvordan hundrevis av blodproteiner samspiller – og hvordan disse mønstrene…
Only one artery in the umbilical cord poses little risk of developmental disorders
A new study shows that children born with only one artery in their umbilical cord have a slightly increased risk of certain developmental disorders later in life. However, for the vast majority of children, this does not appear to affect development.
Register for UiB's 3 Minute Thesis competition
The Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is an international research communication competition that challenges PhD candidates to present their research in just three minutes, using a single static slide, to a general audience. The competition was originally developed at the University of Queensland in 2008 and has since grown into an international event, with competitions organised by networks such as the Coimbra Group and SANORD. UiB invites PhD candidates from all disciplines to participate in our internal 3MT competition. The winner will represent UiB in the international finals of the Coimbra Group and SANORD.
