Center for Digital Life Norway (DLN) is pleased to congratulate the two winners of DLN's Impact call. Viviam Bermúdez plans to create a card game about precision medicine tools to engage a wide variety of groups. Komal Agarwal wants to break down professional barriers between Arctic farmers and scientists.
The PINpOINT project (Pipeline for individually tailoring new treatments in hematological cancers) has developed methods for drug sensitivity screening in several cancers, now used to stratify patients into trials, and established pipelines for data analysis. They have published some 30 papers, given a large number of talks, and held numerous meetings and other events.
Digital Life Norway welcomes two new projects!
We are happy to announce our new team member! Birte Hansen will join Digital Life Norway in April, and will divide her time between DLN and dScience. Her time at DLN will be spent working on the Innovation Roadmap project with Andy Boyce and Henrik Lund.
Digital Life Norway announces a redesigned prize for community-building in Norwegian biotechnology. This is an evolution of the now-retired DLN Transdisciplinary Publication Award, presented from 2017 to 2021. The new prize aims to recognize and stimulate efforts to build deeper connections between academic and non-academic stakeholders to collectively tackle society’s grand challenges.
The Centre for Digital Life Norway encourages open science and FAIR data management. For the third time, we are highlighting and rewarding outstanding examples of life science researchers in Norway who have managed their data according to the FAIR principles. The deadline for nominating candidates is March 31 st , 2024.
Mid-January brought a new employee to Digital Life Norway, when Ingrid Shields joined the team as the new communications advisor.
Nettopp dette spørsmålet besvarte fire unge forskere en sen ettermiddag på ærverdige Universitetsmuseet i Bergen 6. september på arrangementet «Vår forunderlige klode – unge forskere forteller». Forskerne tok opp temaer som antibiotikakrisen, genredigering av fisk, hvordan finne nye legmidler og sammenhengen mellom havet, helse, politikk og samfunn. Alle temaene ble formidlet på en god populærvitenskapelig måte slik at alle har en forutsetning for å forstå forskningen.
The Digital Life Norway annual conference 7-8. September 2023 was a success. It was located at beautiful Solstrand Hotel & Bad right outside Bergen and was the first ever joint conference with Centre for Digital Life Norway (DLN) and the Digital Life Norway Research School.
The Digital Life Norway (DLN) Junior Resource Group (JRG) is recruiting new members to be a voice of young researchers in the life sciences in Norway. A major focus of DLN is to train and support a new generation of transdisciplinary life scientists. The JRG provides advice and feedback that help shape the DLN’s activities to reach PhD students and postdocs.
New vacant position as Communications adviser for Centre for Digital Life Norway! Please send in you application before 24. September (in Norwegian).
The goal of research is to be open, accessible, and responsible. Popular science communication plays a crucial role in engaging society with research.
Join us and experience research from Digital Life Norway at the renowned University Museum in Bergen, Wednesday 6. September at 18:30-20:00!
This evening, we give the floor to a group of young researchers who explore our wondrous planet and utilize biotechnology to find innovative solutions to today's significant societal challenges.
This year, Centre for Digital Life Norway received 35 applications from around the country for its three-month PhD internship program. The students selected for the internship all showed a high level of motivation to explore opportunities outside the academic “bubble.”
Labels serve as valuable tools for identification and categorization, whether they are physical tags or mental notes. While they help us make sense of the world around us, labels can also introduce confusion, highlighting the delicate balance between clarity and potential misunderstandings they bring.
In this article postdoctoral researcher Biswajoy Ghosh and professor Krishna Agarwal from the Digital Life Norway (DLN) research project nanoRIP at UiT, sends a message to biologists - are labels ok?
What is the future of meat? What role do researchers, consumers, and investors in Norway play, now and in the coming years in transitioning to new meat materials? In April 2023, Centre for Digital Life Norway explored the major investigations in Norway around cultivated protein and meat culture. Now you can see recordings of Rob Burton (Ruralis) presenting results from the Protein 2.0 project and Sophia Efstathiou (NTNU) presenting the MEATigation project.
Members of Digital Life Norway (DLN) at University of Tromsø (UiT), Ayush Somani, Dr. Dilip K. Prasad and Dr. Alexander Horsch, wrote the book "Interpretability in Deep Learning" - A great tool for researchers, educators, and professionals seeking to enhance their comprehension of building reliable deep learning methods . It's now published and available.
