We have the pleasure to invite you to our CCBIO Junior Symposium (JUSS) September 17, 2020.

In the keynote lecture, Christine Stansberg (ELEXIR) and Kari Ersland (Digitalt Liv Norge) will talk about how to implement digital tools in your research and inform you how to get help analyzing your biological data. In addition, local junior researchers will present their work on cancer therapy resistance, obesity and cancer, salt-sensitive hypertension, and metabolomic signatures predicting heart failure.

Join us for a perfect occasion for professional input and digital networking!

Postdocs Cornelia Schuster, Kenneth Finne and Maria Lie Lotsberg are chairs.

When: 09.00-12.10

ABOUT JUSS

The CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium represents an integrated part of the CCBIO Research School for Cancer Studies. This is a seminar series that aims to improve scientific interaction and networking among junior researchers.

Postdocs Cornelia Schuster, Maria Lie Lotsberg and Kenneth Finne are coordinators of the junior seminars in 2019-20, are planning and chairing these meetings.

The symposia are held four times annually, and the first seminar took place on June 11th 2014.

This symposium is an arena where PhD candidates and postdocs gain experience with oral presentations and academic discussions. The meetings have proved to be an excellent place for young researchers to get input for potential collaborations in ongoing and future projects.

The program has covered a broad range of topics, from basic studies to clinical research. Further, trial lectures have been presented, and invited speakers from research groups outside of CCBIO have also presented their projects. Each symposium has a format where 3-5 PhD candidates and postdocs present their research, followed by short discussions.
