CUHK er et meget renommert forskningsuniversitet i Hong Kong/Kina med eksellente forskningsmiljøer og infrastruktur. Flere UiB forskere samarbeider med CUHK, både bilateralt og multilateralt gjennom WUN. Som WUN medlemsuniversitet, er UiB en av CUHKs prioriterte internasjonale samarbeidspartnere og UiB forskere gis derved muligheten for å søke om støtte til forskningsopphold på CUHK gjennom deres Inbound Research Mobility Scheme.   

Dette er en mulighet for UiB forskere til å søke om støtte for forskningsopphold ved Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) i løpet av 1. halvår 2017.

Vi presenterer Reidun Æsøy, ph.d. i molekylærbiologi. Reidun begynte i august 2016 som forsker i gruppen til Prof. Lars Herfindal.
Hvis du ønsker å si hei, kan du finne henne i etasje 9 i laboratoriebygget.

We hereby invite you to attend the local symposium in the memory of Helga B. Salvesen to be held 14^th September 2016 in Store Auditorium at Haukeland University Hospital. The symposium is titled “Biomarkers in Female Cancer” and is a joint effort between CCBIO and the K2 department at UiB and Kvinneklinikken at Helse Bergen. The aim of the symposium is to honor Helgas memory by focusing on the state of the art within research on gynecologic cancer as well as younger researchers efforts within the field.

As you can see from the program (link below), we have secured international, national and local speakers. There will also be a combined lunch and poster session in the Aula of the Building for Basic Biological Research (BBB), where younger researchers can present their work. The symposium is open to all and free of charge, so please feel free to forward this invitation.

• on the design and conduct of clinical trials and development of some applications that are relevant to clinical research
• Different units inform what they can assist with in the implementation of clinical trials
• The importance of ethical considerations in clinical trialsThe PhD course GCP901 is a 1 ECTS course part of the Bergen Postgraduate School of Clinical Medical Research.

Long-term health and safety effects of Very Low Carbohydrate Diets for Type 2 Diabetes Management:
Current clinical practice guidelines for type 2 diabetes management advocate a diet low in fat and high in unrefined carbohydrates. However, this recommendation has been questioned following advancements in understanding that carbohydrate restriction and higher intakes of protein and unsaturated fat improve blood glucose control and cardiovascular disease risk.
This presentation will discuss the findings of a large, long-term, well-controlled, randomized controlled clinical study comparing the effects of either a traditional high-carbohydrate diet or a very-low-carbohydrate, high-unsaturated-fat diet while participating in a structured exercise program on multiple health outcomes, including glycemic control, cardiovascular disease risk, renal function, and mental wellbeing and performance.
Findings indicate that independent of any change in weight, the blood glucose profile improves substantially in the very-low-carbohydrate group. The diet is well tolerated and the need for medication is also reduced to a greater extent than the traditional high-carbohydrate dietary approach.
Tid: Tirsdag 30. August 14.30-15:30
Sted: Stort Auditorium, 3 etasje, Sentralblokken
Chair: Simon Dankel, Dep. Of Clinical Science, UiB

I forbindelse med den årlige Scandinavian Conference in Cardiothoracic Surgery i Reykjavik 17.-19.august i år, var vår PhD-kandidat cand.med. Terje Aass nominert og vant prisen «C. Walton Lillehei, Ph.D., M. D. Young Investigators Award» på $5000 for sitt foredrag:

 Myocardial energy status and ultrastructure with polarizing and depolarizing             cardioplegic arrest in a porcine model. 

Terje Aass er overlege ved Thoraxkirurgisk seksjon, Hjerteavdelingen, Haukeland Universitetssykehus, og arbeider også med et doktorgradsprosjekt knyttet til Hjerteforskningsgruppen ved K2. Prosjektet er en dyreeksperimentell studie av en ny kardioplegiløsning som brukes for å stanse hjertet og beskytte myokard ved åpne hjerteoperasjoner der en bruker hjerte-lunge maskin.
Walton Lillehei, en amerikansk hjertekirurg med norske aner, betegnes internasjonalt som den åpne hjertekirurgiens far.
