The competition challenges participants to present their research in just three minutes, with only one static slide as visual support, to a general audience.
Lipids build the membranes that surround the cell and separate its internal compartments from each other. This is what gives each compartment in the cell its own identity and makes normal cell function possible. For this system to work, lipids must constantly be transported precisely between different membranes. This is a process that scientists have long had limited understanding of.
Dear everyone,
Happy New Year! I hope everyone has had a few quiet days during the Christmas season and has started 2026 with new energy.
2026 will bring a number of changes, among other things, the financial officers from the faculty will move to the "PhD office" on the 8th floor of the lab building and be co-located with "our" financial officers (who are also employed at the faculty). This entails some relocation of office space for PhD candidates and postdocs, I apologize for the inconvenience this causes for those affected. Before the economists can move in, some rebuilding is required, but I hope that it does not take too long.
Let me also use this editorial to congratulate Professor Edvin Schei from IGS and his project group PROFMED (Medical Students' Professional Identity Formation During Practice in Hospitals), which was awarded the Western Norway Regional Health Authority's education award last night at the Western Norway Regional Health Authority's education conference. PROFMED aims to improve medical students' hospital placement learning, and support the development of a professional physician’s identity by: 1) systematically preparing students for workplace participation, and 2) educating the hospital physicians who interact with the students.
The project has been very successful, and the application of the knowledge from it will have a great effect on the successful completion of the hospital placement with many more students than before.
Have a really good weekend!

The research program at the Faculty of Medicine is currently recruiting students from the 2025 cohort for admission in the fall of 2026. The faculty encourages research communities to submit project proposals that are suitable for the research program, and reminds that the students are motivated, but often without previous research experience and therefore need close follow-up at the beginning.
