This fall brings a wealth of interesting conferences and applications.
Recently, at the American Society of Human Genetics meeting held in Boston, considerable attention was given to biomedical AI and large language models in the clinical diagnostics of genetic diseases. Importantly, while some of the presented evidence was supportive and promising, other studies highlighted significant limitations, indicating that generative AI may incorrectly classify up to 80% of variants associated with Mendelian diseases, and that AI findings were not reproducible.
The growing efforts to apply AI in medicine are further strengthened by the recently launched by K2/UiB call for Medical AI, which received a total of 16 applications for prequalification in Stage 1. This is encouraging and vital for building internal expertise in specifically developed medical AI tools, as well as for the validation and rigorous evaluation of emerging methodologies and their latest updates.
Det er også spennende nyheter om SSF- og SFI-initiativene. Eystein Husebye og Helge Ræder, i samarbeid med Oslo-koordinatoren for NOR-TWIN: The Norwegian Centre for Virtual Human Twin Technology og fra UiB: Bettina Husebø (IGS- Center for Research-Based Innovation on BetterAge) and Charalampos Tzoulis (K1 – ICoN: Innovation Center for Neuroresilience), har gått videre til andre runde av SFI.
Wishing all the best of luck to the SSF applicants!

It is still summer, yet the warm breeze of the new academic year is slowly weaving its energy into our lives. I am honored to step into the role of Head of Innovation to support creative efforts within UiB and nurture innovative developments through active collaborations. I personally appreciate all hard work clinicians and researchers put into conducting precious clinical studies. We have very dedicated and talented researchers with great ideas and hope we can also promote and inspire academic entrepreneurship in the future.
In my own research, we apply genomic technologies targetd to deliver patient-oriented solutions, novel prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers that drive meaningful advancements in precision medicine. I have been privileged to work in excellent international environments and look forward to fostering and expanding these collaborations at UiB. Synergies between educational institutions and hospitals foster opportunities for shared learning and innovation, provide a platform for the dissemination of valuable knowledge, enhance the visibility of our funders, and ensure that patients who place immense trust in our work receive the crucial support they need when it matters most. We should also be better in doing outreach activities to disseminate and communicate our findings.
Have a wonderful last weekend of summer!
Valeriya
